Moving insurance protects your precious items

What is moving insurance?

Your belongings are not designed to be frequently moved from place to place. Moving them anywhere comes with the risk of damage or breakages, meaning there is always a possibility of unplanned losses. Moving insurance is a similar policy to travel insurance, which protects you while you’re in transit. Moving house is like travelling with all your belongings, so this policy protects them against mishaps while in transit or storage.
 
Contents insurance is not moving insurance
 
Your contents insurance is unlikely to protect your possessions when moving house. All policies are different, so check with your insurance company to find out if moving is covered too. If not, you’ll need moving insurance if you want protection.

What does moving insurance cover?

Moving insurance covers you for the accidental damage or loss of your belongings while moving. If an accident happens, your policy covers you for repairs, replacement if beyond repair, or a cash payment for the value of the item. It also covers any potential liabilities as a result of the accident.

Declaring the value of your goods

When declaring the value of your shipment and removal you have the choice of the following two options.
  • Lump Sum is where you use the convenience of declaring a single value for all of the goods in your shipment and removal. To assist with the valuation of your goods we will provide you with a benchmark value calculated at $2500 per cubic metre of household goods and personal effects. The benchmark value is the minimum lump sum value. If it does not adequately reflect the value of your goods then you can increase it accordingly.
  • Valued List of Goods is where you list all of the items in your shipment and removal with an individual value for each item to determine the total value.
