Why Should I Purchase Moving Insurance?

When Universal does your overseas move, you can rest assured that we will do our best to ensure your shipment arrives at your new home safe and sound. One of the reasons why international moves are more challenging than domestic moves is the number of organizations and agencies involved in transporting your shipment over land, ocean and air. After your goods are packed, they will pass into the hands of ocean carriers, airlines and customs workers. Most shipments reach their final destination in good condition, but from time to time accidents do happen for a variety of reasons. It is for these reasons that we strongly advise that you purchase insurance for peace of mind.

What Do I Need To Do?

You will need to complete and submit a proposal form.

Three Universal Advantages
There are three key advantages to choosing Universal Relocation's moving insurance offering:

1. Replacement as new

Universal Relocations will provide replacement as new if repairs cannot be satisfactorily completed. This is designed to ensure that in the event of loss or damage, your valued possessions will be covered from the moment we arrive in your home, right through to delivery at your new location.

2. Range of options to suit your needs

In addition to our standard moving insurance policy, you can also choose from a range of other options which extend your insurance coverage, including:

• Pairs and sets extension - Additional protection of a complete pair or set of only one part if the set is damaged or lost.
• Mechanical and electrical derangement extension - Additional protection for the derangement of electrical and mechanical goods eg. Videos, hi-fi's and personal computers.
• Mould and mildew extension - Additional protection against damage by mould and mildew.
• Packing and shipping extension - recover your packing and shipping costs in case of complete loss of your shipment.
• Owner packed items - protection for the items you have packed yourself.

3. In-house claims moving insurance settlement

In the event of a claim, Universal Relocations will settle claims promptly through our in-house claims department. We take complete responsibility for claims management, using loss adjusters where appropriate, and never allow the management of claims to a third party.
