Does Your Insurance Cover Home Removals?

You've found a better home and have decided to move. You are all excited and cannot wait to occupy the new space. But then the reality of moving kicks in and you realise just how much work you have waiting for you. You frantically start to run around and realise just how many things there are that require your attention. In this frenzy it is easy to forget a few things. While this is completely normal, there are a few things that are vital to remember. Often forgotten about during home removals is the matter of insurance.

Don't just assume your insurance will cover your loss if anything had to happen – many won't if this action has not been specified. There are a number of things regarding your insurance during home removals that you should pay attention to. The very first is to contact your own insurance company to determine what coverage you may have regarding relocation. Find out:

• If your current policy applies while your furniture is being loaded and unloaded?
• Does your cover extend to apply during transit?
• Does it protect you from fire, theft, dents, scratches and missing pieces!

In addition to our extensive home removals service offerings, Active Transport also offers two levels of liability protection:

• Goods in Transit: Insurance against fire, overturning, collision and hi-jacking of truck
• All Risk Insurance: Optimal insurance for furniture and items against damages whilst being moved.

You can request a quote from Active Transport free of charge. When doing this, it is vital to remember that for the move, things such as the volume of the move, the distance that need to be covered and the date of removal all have an influence on the price. School holidays, weekends and the beginning or end of months are more expensive than midweek rates. For the insurance quotes you must provide us with a detailed list of furniture stating the value of each item.
