Goods in Transit Insurance
Goods in Transit Insurance — Protect the Cargo You Deliver
Goods in transit insurance covers the cargo you transport from one location to another as part of your courier or delivery work. Your vehicle insurance covers the van — but it does not cover the goods inside it. If items are damaged, stolen, or lost during delivery, you could be held personally liable for the full cost. Goods in transit insurance protects you against these risks, with cover starting from £92.60 per year for £10,000 of cover.
At UK Sure, our goods in transit policies are designed specifically for couriers, parcel delivery companies, and light haulage businesses. Standard cover includes up to 10 vehicles on one policy, vehicles up to 8.25 tonnes, European territorial limits, CMR cover as standard, and hand-held scanner cover up to £1,000. For drivers working with TNT, FedEx, Parcelforce, DHL, Yodel, UK Mail, Amazon, DPD, and Hermes, £50,000 cover is automatically included at no additional charge.
Optional extras include public liability and employer's liability — all under one policy underwritten by Chubb Insurance. Choose your cover level from £10,000, £25,000, or £50,000.
