Air Cargo Insurance

The Benefits of Air Cargo Insurance:

Full Value

It covers the full value of your goods and can include all freight and import costs, meaning that the $9.00 per lb. covered by the airline is the least of your worries.

No Fault

You do not have to worry about who is at fault, cargo insurance does not examine liability so it is a faster claim process that does not involve litigation or blame.

Door to Door

Coverage is typically door to door around the world, including incidental storage at airports and inland trucking or rail carriage before and after the flight.

Coverage Options

You can choose a coverage that suits your needs, from All Risks to Broad Named Perils to Basic Catastrophic coverage. Thus, you decide your level of protection.

Without Air Cargo Insurance, what can you expect an airline to pay you?

Did you know that the law limits what an air carrier has to pay for lost or damaged cargo? They do not have to pay you what your cargo is worth even if they lose the entire shipment, rather they only have to pay a small fraction to you. That is because no matter the value of your goods, the "Warsaw Convention" and "Montreal Protocol" are laws that have been globally adopted to protect airlines and keep freight rates down. That means that the carrier only has to pay a maximum of about $9.00 per pound.
