Coverage Overview
Transportation insurance is coverage for the unpredictable world of shipping and logistics. It’s there to protect you when your products are:
- Lost: Insurance helps you recoup lost product value.
- Damaged: Coverage pays for repairs or replacements.
- Stolen: Insurance can reimburse you for the cost of lost goods.
What are the typical limits and costs?
Limits range from $50,000 to several million per shipment.
Good to know: Insuremart works with over 100 insurance carriers. Nothing gives you an advantage when buying Transportation insurance — or any insurance — like a great agent and more options. Talk to our agents.
Expect premiums to vary based on type and cost of goods, shipping routes, and your claims history. A regional clothing company will pay less for transportation insurance than an international microchip manufacturer. It’s all about level of risk.
Coverage types
- Inland Marine: Also referred to as Motor Truck Cargo, it covers cargo transported by trucks, trains, and delivery vans.
- Ocean Marine: Protects shipments traveling by sea. Essential for import/export businesses.
- Air Cargo: Provides coverage for goods traveling by air.
- Contingent Cargo: Protects you if the cargo insurer fails to do so or becomes insolvent.
Considerations for maximum protection
- Declared Value: Declare the value of your cargo to ensure proper compensation. You should review and adjust values when necessary.
- Proper Packaging: Using packaging material that fit and protect your products will cost more than generic solutions, but fewer returns and potential claims make the increase worth it.
- Incoterms: For our international customers. International trade agreements are called Incoterms and are there to indicate who is responsible for insurance at different stages of the journey.
