Insurance Information For You
At Touchstone Freight, we understand that the safe transportation of your goods is of utmost importance to you. While we take every precaution to ensure the secure handling and delivery of your shipments, we kindly remind our esteemed customers about the significance of insuring their goods during international freight.
- Importance of Insurance
International freight involves various modes of transportation, multiple handovers, and potential risks along the way. Despite our meticulous efforts to maintain the integrity of your shipments, unforeseen events such as accidents, natural disasters, theft, or unforeseen delays can occur. In such cases, having comprehensive insurance coverage can provide you with peace of mind and financial protection against potential losses.
- Customer Freedom and Responsibility
At Touchstone Freight, we believe in empowering our customers to make informed decisions regarding the insurance of their goods. While there are several reputable insurance providers available in the United Kingdom, it is your exclusive responsibility to select the insurance provider and make the necessary arrangements.
- Touchstone Freight Does Not Provide Insurance
We would like to emphasize that Touchstone Freight does not provide insurance nor arrange it for our customers. However, we strongly encourage you to obtain suitable insurance coverage to safeguard your valuable cargo throughout its journey. This ensures that, in the unlikely event of any loss or damage, you will have the necessary support and compensation from your chosen insurance provider.
- Choosing the Right Insurance
When considering insurance options for your international freight, we recommend taking the following factors into account:
Coverage: Ensure that the insurance policy offers comprehensive coverage that aligns with the value and nature of your goods. It is important to be aware of any limitations or exclusions in the policy.
Insurance Provider: Conduct thorough research and select a reputable insurance provider that specializes in international freight coverage. Look for insurers with a proven track record of reliability, prompt claims processing, and excellent customer service.
Policy Terms and Conditions: Carefully review the terms and conditions of the insurance policy to understand the coverage limits, deductibles, claims process, and any specific requirements.
Cost: Compare insurance premiums from different providers to ensure you are getting competitive rates for the coverage you require. However, please remember that the cheapest option may not always offer the most comprehensive coverage.
Stay informed about your shipment’s progress with our tracking services. Easily monitor the location and estimated arrival time of your cargo, ensuring transparency and peace of mind.
By taking the initiative to insure your goods during international freight, you demonstrate a proactive approach towards protecting your investment.
Touchstone Freight is committed to assisting you in the safe and timely delivery of your shipments, and we kindly advise our customers to make their own insurance choices and arrangements to mitigate any potential risks associated with international shipping.
Kindly remember that your goods are valuable, and insuring them is an essential step towards safeguarding your business and minimizing potential financial losses.
