Cargo insurance

 

What is cargo insurance?

For many businesses, stock or equipment may have to be stored or transported between locations – sometimes by other companies. In these situations, cargo insurance can be arranged, either on an annual basis or for a single trip, to make sure goods are protected during transport by road, rail, sea or air.

Our range of products are only available through insurance brokers. 

What else might you want insurance for?

Liability
As well as having the building and contents insured, you might want public liability insurance. This insurance can provide protection against personal injury or property damage claims from members of the public. There are other types of liability cover a business might also require, including employer’s liability, professional indemnity, and directors and officers insurance. Your insurance broker will be able to help you find out which covers are best for your business.
Buildings & contents
There's a vast range of scenarios that can lead to buildings and contents belonging to a business getting damaged, lost or stolen. Insurance can help get things back to normal by paying for replacements and repair works.

Business vehicles insurance is specially designed for business cars and vans and gives protection in case they're involved in an accident or damage other property.
