Insurance in Vehicle Shipping: Protecting Your Investment All the Way
Your vehicle is not just a means of transport but also an investment with high financial value. While crossing international borders and traveling thousands of kilometers, securing this investment against all kinds of risks is Han Bros Cargo's primary duty. Vehicle shipping insurance offers a broad protection shield covering not only possible accidents but also physical damages during loading, unloading, and customs processes.
What's in Our Insurance Scope?
In all vehicle shipments you carry out with Han Bros Cargo, these insurance layers come into play:
- CMR Insurance: The basic insurance that is mandatory under the international road transport contract and steps in where the carrier is at fault.
- Full Comprehensive Insurance: A special policy issued based on the vehicle's market value on that day, covering everything from natural disasters to theft, non-accident damages to scratches.
- Loading-Unloading Guarantee: Additional protection against operational risks that may occur while the vehicle is being loaded onto the tow truck or unloaded from the container.
How Does the Process Work in Case of Damage?
Even though we never want it, when a disruption occurs, Han Bros Cargo's professional damage management unit is by your side. Damage is determined at the time of delivery with a report held together with our team and photos. Authorized service repair or cash compensation processes are conducted transparently within the scope of your policy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it mandatory to have vehicle shipping insurance?
The mandatory CMR insurance is automatically defined for every shipment by Han Bros Cargo. However, we strongly recommend taking out additional full comprehensive transport insurance for high-value vehicles. Standard vehicle shipping insurance only covers the vehicle itself. A separate declaration and policy are required to insure personal items inside the vehicle.Are the items inside my vehicle also covered by insurance?
How is the insurance premium calculated?
The insurance policy amount is calculated based on a rate determined using the vehicle's make, model, year, and current insurance value.
Can antique or modified vehicles be insured?
Yes, we can create special coverage based on risk analysis for such special vehicles, accompanied by an appraisal report.
In which countries is the insurance valid?
Insurance protection continues uninterrupted in countries along the entire transit route, from the point where the shipment starts to the last address where delivery is completed.
