Household Removals Insurance

Moving overseas can mean that your belongings are handled in a variety of ways (by hand, by forklift, by trolleys, etc) and are transported over great distances (by road, by air, by sea and by rail). Protecting your belongings against loss and damage with comprehensive transit insurance should be an essential part of your international move.

5 Great Reasons for Getting Overseas Transit Insurance

1. Cover is available for household and personal effects, motorcycles, caravans, motor vehicles, boats, boat trailers and personal watercraft.
2. Insurance available at every step of the way - your belongings can be insured in transit, in storage and on arrival at their final destination address.
3. A straightforward online claims process can alleviate any difficulties experienced through local conditions such as language or delay in setting up utilities and home services.
4. You can take everything with you including the 'big ticket' items (cars, jetskis, boats, etc) knowing that you have financial protection in place.
5. Planning a house move overseas can feel particularly daunting, getting insurance can provide a much-needed peace of mind.

Insurance Reminders

Getting insurance for all household moves is of paramount importance and getting the right policy type and amount of cover even more so. Remember:

• A valuations declaration must be completed with a policy application.
• Owner packed and professionally packed goods are subject to different excesses.
• Any items valued over NZ$10,000 must be specified for cover.
• Wine, art and antiques must be individually specified on a transit valuation list.
• Any loss of value for art and antiques must be established by a independent valuer.
• Insurance can be arranged for goods stored in commercially operated and secure storage depots.
