FAQs

Transit insurance, explained.

Find answers to FAQs about shipping insurance for senders of freight.

What does transit insurance cover?

FreightInsure covers loss, damage, and theft of goods in transit for domestic shipments within Australia and New Zealand, as well as international shipments with an Australian or New Zealand start or end point. Your goods are covered from pickup to delivery up to AUD 100,000 per consignment for domestic AU transits, NZD 100,000 for domestic NZ transits, or AUD/NZD 50,000 for international transits — subject to policy terms and packaging requirements.

Is there an excess on FreightInsure claims?

No. FreightInsure has no excess — the full declared value of your goods is claimable from dollar one, subject to your policy terms. This is one of the key differences between FreightInsure and traditional marine insurance, which typically carries excesses of $1,000 or more.

How quickly are claims resolved?

Our target is to resolve claims within 5 business days of receiving all required information. Claims are managed by FreightSafe, which has 20+ years of freight claims experience.

Do I need to pack my goods in a specific way to be covered?

Yes — correct packaging is a condition of cover. Read our packaging guidelines before shipping to ensure your goods are claimable.

Can I buy cover for regular shipments?

If you ship regularly, a business account may suit you better. Book a call with our team to discuss bulk cover options.
