Removals Insurance
Removals insurance is always recommended because of the risk of influences outside removalist control which may cause damage or loss of your belongings. Furniture removal insurance is recommended for all long distance moving, due to the logistics of moving furniture and belongings over large distances. Depending on your needs you may choose to select different levels of removal insurance cover:
- Replacement value: ( amount adequate to replace the damaged or lost item )
- Indemnity cover ( amount lower than the original purchase price or what you would have to pay today to replace these goods by new items )
The best advice is to organise insurance through the moving companies. They should explain the various options and obligations for the transit. Some removalists may insist on additional insurance to cover more dangerous situations such as carrying furniture to levels higher than the second floor or piano moving.
