Whether you are arranging insurance for the carriage of your own goods or you are operating as a haulier and carrying goods on behalf of others, goods in transit insurance provides you and your clients with cover against the theft, loss or damage to your or others' products. The carriage of goods from one place to another by road, either within the UK or internationally, can be covered by goods in transit insurance - if the journey involves shipping the goods by sea, then you should consider marine insurance, which will also typically include the 'road' aspects of the journey.
Competitively priced goods in transit insurance, or 'GIT' is available to most types of haulage companies, couriers and freight carriers; even high value goods can be insured, as well as those carried by companies who have previously suffered losses or damage to goods in their charge.
For hauliers, a combined hauliers business liability insurance policy can include public liability and employers liability insurance together with goods in transit liability cover, thereby removing the need to have separate insurance policies for each of these types of insurance.
