Moving House Insurance
Moving house insurance covers your belongings during transit and loading — but the cover provided by your removal company and your home contents insurer are different things. Giant Van carries full goods-in-transit insurance on all jobs. As a BAR member, the service meets accreditation standards for insurance and liability that independent operators often do not.
Giant Van carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance on all jobs. BAR member with verified cover. Moving house insurance from your contents insurer may also apply in transit. Call +44 7414 655129 to confirm cover for your specific move.
Haulage Insurance: What Does It Cover?
Haulage insurance covers goods being transported commercially — distinct from personal contents insurance.
A removal company's haulage insurance protects your items from the point of loading to the point of delivery.
Giant Van's policy covers accidental damage caused during loading, transit, and unloading.
It does not cover pre-existing damage, items packed by the owner in unsuitable boxes, or cash and documents.
When items of unusually high value are being moved — art, jewellery, instruments — declare them in advance so coverage can be confirmed.
Standard haulage insurance has per-item limits; high-value pieces may need supplementary cover.
