Goods In Transit Insurance

AMT Insurance Solutions can help you to protect Goods In Transit belonging to you or your customers.

Goods in Transit (GIT) Insurance provides coverage in the event of loss, damage, or theft of property or goods belonging to you or your customers during transportation from one location to another. This could include items being moved from a manufacturing facility, warehouse or workshop to a retail store, business establishment, or private residence.

This insurance specifically protects the contents of your vehicle while they are in transit. It is a supplementary insurance and does not serve as a substitute for your van insurance policy, which is legally required and covers the vehicle itself. It’s worth noting that if you are paid to move someone else’s goods then you must legally have Carriage of Goods for Hire & Reward motor insurance.

While Goods in Transit insurance isn’t a legal obligation, some of your customers may demand it before entrusting you with transporting their goods. Nonetheless, lacking this insurance could result in significant expenses. As the custodian of your client’s property, equipment, or goods during transport, you assume responsibility. Without adequate Goods in Transit Insurance, you may be held accountable for any damages, losses, or thefts incurred.

Furthermore, you might be susceptible to claims for consequential losses, such as when a manufacturer experiences production line shutdowns due to undelivered items.
