Insurance coverage is a must while
sending household goods. In-spite of the best packing
and safe transportation, factors beyond our control like
accidents, fire, sabotage, riots etc can result in damages
to the goods. Hence we repeat "Insurance is a must".
The commonly known insurance is the "Transit Insurance"
where the premium comes to 1.2% on declared value. Here
the compensation towards damages/loses are paid only if
the vehicle meets with an accident.. Hence if there is
no accident to the vehicle no claim for compensation can
be made.
The other type is called "comprehensive Insurance"
where the premium is around 3%. Here the compensation
is paid for any damages except for scratches. In case
cover is required for glassware and crockery's this has
to be specified and a small additional premium paid. This
would be the best risk cover. However the customer is
the master and his choice would be final.
