| Why insure? |
"Insurance is a very important product in anyone's life plan. The trouble with insurance is that you can never buy it when you need it.
So you have to anticipate your need to buy it hoping you'll never need it. Insurance is simply peace of mind". Robert Kiyosaki

Insurance gives you the security and peace of mind
for those unforseen occurrences. |

To insure or not to insure?
The benefits of home and car insurance are obvious, yet many people question whether they need removal insurance. Others assume their home contents policy covers for all aspects of a removal. |

Be aware!
Usually your home contents insurance policy does not cover your contents whilst being moved. Although some policies may give you a limited cover, usually they do not fully cover your goods. One of the biggest areas they may not cover you for is if there is accidental breakage or damage. This is when the removalist has taken all care to wrap and transport the goods, there has been no negligence but the goods are broken or damaged. Be sure to ask if your policy covers ‘accidental breakage”. Full Cover Transit Insurance offered by Karis and Gosford Removals covers for accidental breakage. |

Why do I need removal insurance if the removalist is reputable and does his job properly?
By choosing a reputable removalist, you reduce your risks of negligence occurring as they will take all care to ensure everything is wrapped and packed securely.
"It is better to be safe than sorry. Insurance is an important part of
any move involving your worldly possessions. Some factors will always
remain beyond the control of even the most dedicated and careful
removalists".
The Australian Women's Weekly, in an article entitled "Moving House"
Full Cover Transit Insurance is available to cover events that are not predicted or expected and are not due to negligence on the part of the carrier. |

Inherent Vice or nature
Many items are not made to be carried distances in vehicles, no matter how careful the removalists are. A trip in a vehicle will be one of the greatest tests for inherent weaknesses in goods. There is a specific exclusion in the policy covering ‘inherent vice or nature of the subject matter’. |
