Understanding Removals Insurance
When planning a house or office move, protecting your belongings is just as important as moving them safely. Accidents can happen even with the most careful handling. That’s where removals insurance comes in.
At ABCD Transport, based in Hindley near Wigan, we know that moving can be stressful. Boxes shift, furniture gets bumped or bad weather strikes. With the right insurance, your items stay protected no matter what happens on the road.
What Is Removals Insurance?
Removals insurance is a policy that covers your belongings while they’re being moved from one place to another. It can protect against damage, loss, or theft during transport.
Most professional removal companies, including ABCD Transport, carry goods in transit insurance. This ensures that your possessions are covered from the moment we load them until they arrive safely at your new location.
In other words, removals insurance is your safety net during the moving process. It gives peace of mind, knowing that if something unexpected occurs, you won’t face the cost alone.
Why Is Removals Insurance Important?
Even with skilled drivers and secure packing, accidents can still happen. A sudden stop, uneven road, or careless third-party driver can cause damage.
Without removals insurance, you might be responsible for replacing your damaged or lost items. However, with proper cover in place, compensation helps you recover quickly and continue your move without extra stress.
At ABCD Transport, we take pride in offering fully insured removals across Wigan, Greater Manchester and throughout the UK. Our clients trust us because they know we handle every move with care and the right level of protection.
What Does Removals Insurance Cover?
Each policy is slightly different, but removal company insurance generally includes:
- Damage protection for furniture, boxes, and fragile items during loading, transport, or unloading.
- Loss cover if any item goes missing in transit.
- Theft protection in case of vehicle break-in or theft during the move.
- Fire and accident cover for unforeseen events on the road.
In addition, our goods in transit insurance extends to both domestic and commercial moves, ensuring everything from personal belongings to office equipment is properly covered.
What’s Not Covered?
To avoid surprises, always check what isn’t included in your removals insurance. Some policies exclude:
- Items packed by the customer without professional supervision.
- Jewellery, cash, or valuables not declared before the move.
- Damage caused by poor packing materials.
- Delays or indirect losses (for example, missing an event because of transport delays).
ABCD Transport helps clients understand every detail before the move begins. Transparency and trust are key to our service.
Choosing the Right Insurance Level
Not every move requires the same insurance value. A small flat move will differ from a large office relocation. Therefore, your insurance should reflect the total value of what you’re transporting.
We advise customers to make a quick inventory of their items and estimate their replacement value. This ensures the policy matches the real cost of your belongings.
If you’re unsure, our team at ABCD Transport will guide you through the process and recommend the best level of cover for your needs.
