In this article, we will compare the main insurance offerings from international carriers, while highlighting the key points to consider.
Points to Consider When Choosing Parcel Insurance
- Check Coverage: Make sure that the insurance covers the risks you are concerned about and the types of items you are shipping. Some carriers exclude certain types of items, such as jewelry, watches, or high-tech devices. They know that these products pass through their facilities but refuse to transport and/or insure them.
- Pay attention to exclusions: Take the time to read your contract, particularly the insurance exclusions. All insurance policies have limitations, and your goods may well be affected. Certain types of goods are identified as risky by carriers and may be excluded from the terms and conditions of transport and/or the insurance offered.
- Compare Rates: Rates can vary significantly from one Carrier another and may not necessarily be linear. Compare rates for different insurance values to find the best deal.
- Check Limits : Some carriers have Limits , which means they will not cover items above a certain value.
These four points should therefore be considered before choosing transport insurance to ensure that you are covered if necessary before taking out a policy.
