PROTECTION FOR BUSINESS ASSETS
The base coverage of the freight forwarder policy protects you against claims for physical loss or damage to your customers’ goods for which you are legally liable, as well as for financial loss. With these two coverage acting as a foundation, an array of optional liability coverage is available to tailor a policy to meet exposures specific to your operations. The insurance policies we propose will meet the insurance requirements for issuance of house documents (bills of lading, air waybills, etc.) as may be required under international and national freight associations recommended terms and conditions of service.
AFFORDABLE PRICING
By combining multiple coverages into one integrated policy, many coverage gaps typically found in other insurance policies are eliminated. There is no duplication of coverage, so insurance premiums are kept to a minimum. A wide range of limits and deductibles is also available.
