If you don\u2019t have insurance in place to cover incidents like a broken down truck, theft during delivery or water damage during transhipment, you could lose out on a profitable order. <a href=\"https:\/\/zippysure.riskbirbal.com\/marine-insurance\/single-transit-insurance\"><strong>Single Transit Insurance<\/strong><\/a> can protect your one off shipment, however it\u2019s made easier with <strong>ZippySure<\/strong>. Understanding what you are looking at, what can affect the price and what are common mistakes can help you make the best decision when sending your next load.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #053e84; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>What is Single Transit Insurance?<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Single Transit Insurance is a type of insurance that covers your goods during a single journey from start to finish. It is also known as single shipment or specific voyage insurance. Single Transit Insurance is not designed for those who ship frequently and therefore is not an annual or open policy. This insurance is a good option for those shipping occasionally, or a single high value consignment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It covers goods transported by road, rail, air or sea. A common way for inland shipping within India is having an Inland Transit (Rail\/Road) Clause. This covers specific perils such as fire, explosion, lightning, collision, tipping and derailing. More comprehensive cargo clauses can be added, but the principle is the same. Your goods will be covered for a single journey and once they arrive at their destination the policy will come to an end.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are shipping frequently, for example 10 consignments a month, it will usually be more beneficial to have an annual or open marine policy. However if you\u2019re a trader shipping a single container of machinery to a project site, Single Transit Insurance will be enough. Knowing what category you fall into will help you make a sensible decision.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #053e84; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Why Should You Compare?<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Every shipment will have a different level of risk attached. If you\u2019re shipping fragile ceramic tiles for 1200km by road this will have a different risk than sealed electronic goods by air. This will affect how much you pay for Single Transit Insurance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When comparing, you want to make sure the policy will cover your risks. A low price with limited named peril cover may not be the best option if your loss isn\u2019t covered. A higher price with more comprehensive cover and clear claims process may be a better option.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As a broker we know the most expensive option is the one that won\u2019t pay out. When comparing you\u2019ll have the time to ask the right questions. What is covered? What is excluded? How is the sum insured calculated? What documents do they need for a claim?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #053e84; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>What to Compare Across Single Transit Insurance Options<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Coverage and protection offered<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What cover is being provided? Is it a named peril policy or a more comprehensive all risk. Named peril policies will only cover losses that happen due to the listed perils. All risk policies may cover accidental damage, theft and other risks. Always read the cover clause.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Types of goods covered<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Different goods will have different risk levels. Fragile items, perishables, hazardous, high value electronics and machinery will each have different conditions and rates. Make sure your goods are covered and any conditions around packaging are clear.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Method of transport<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just because you have a policy for road transport doesn\u2019t mean it covers rail, air or sea. If you\u2019re shipping using multiple methods or have a transhipment point, make sure your policy covers the goods throughout all transport methods. This is especially important for importers and exporters who may have goods shipped by sea and then road to a warehouse.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Exclusions and limitations<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is where a lot of claims go wrong. Common exclusions include leakage, loss in weight\/volume, wear and tear, inadequate packing, delay and inherent vice. Some policies will also exclude loading\/unloading unless specifically mentioned and priced. Knowing this before taking out a policy will avoid any nasty surprises.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Sum Insured and Claims<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Your sum insured should be the total value at risk. This should include any freight, insurance costs, import duty and specialist packaging. Under-insuring will trigger the average clause and you will be responsible for a percentage of the loss. Make sure you know what the excess is, what documents are needed to make a claim and if it\u2019s new for old or market value.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Single Transit Insurance Cost<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The price will depend on the rate of the commodity you are shipping, multiplied by the sum insured. The rate will depend on what you are shipping, where you are shipping to, what method of transport you\u2019re using, quality of packing and your claims history. When comparing make sure you know what is included.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Policy purchase and documentation process<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are ready to send your goods, you want to make sure it\u2019s easy to purchase. What documents will you need? Usually an invoice. If you\u2019re importing\/exporting you may need a packing list, bill of lading or airway bill. How quickly can you get the policy? You don\u2019t want to be waiting days for the policy when your truck is at the loading bay.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Choosing the Right Policy<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is no one \u2018best\u2019 policy for every business. The best Single Transit Insurance for your goods will depend on three things; value of shipment, type of goods and method of transport.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you\u2019re shipping a one off high value piece of machinery you want to make sure you have comprehensive accidental damage cover and an accurate sum insured. If you\u2019re a small trader shipping fabric by road a named peril inland transit policy may be enough. If you\u2019re importing and have a consignment at the port you need to make sure it covers unloading and inland transport.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A great question to ask your broker is if the goods were damaged in the most likely way would this policy cover it? If you\u2019re unsure then you need to compare.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The most common mistake people make is not insuring to the full value. By only insuring to the invoice value you aren\u2019t covering freight and will therefore be under-insured.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not covering loading\/unloading. If the loss happens during loading\/unloading and your policy doesn\u2019t cover it you won\u2019t have any help. Not considering the packing warranty. If your insurer requires a certain standard of packing and yours is different you may get less or no claim.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Buying without reading the exclusions. Spending 5 minutes reading the exclusions will save you a long argument later.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #053e84; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>How ZippySure Helps Arrange Single Transit Insurance<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">ZippySure has been designed to make it easy to insure individual shipments.

What documents will you need? Usually an invoice. If you\u2019re importing\/exporting you may need a packing list, bill of lading or airway bill. How quickly can you get the policy? You don\u2019t want to be waiting days for the policy when your truck is at the loading bay. Choosing the Right Policy There is no one \u2018best\u2019 policy for every business. The best Single Transit Insurance for your goods will depend on three things; value of shipment, type of goods and method of transport. If you\u2019re shipping a one off high value piece of machinery you want to make sure you have comprehensive accidental damage cover and an accurate sum insured. If you\u2019re a small trader shipping fabric by road a named peril inland transit policy may be enough. If you\u2019re importing and have a consignment at the port you need to make sure it covers unloading and inland transport. A great question to ask your broker is if the goods were damaged in the most likely way would this policy cover it? If you\u2019re unsure then you need to compare. Common Mistakes to Avoid The most common mistake people make is not insuring to the full value.

Riskbirbal Insurance Brokers Private Limited","og_description":"Avoiding Single Transit Insurance can leave you exposed, however most businesses will be able to reduce this risk. If you don\u2019t have insurance in place to cover incidents like a broken down truck, theft during delivery or water damage during transhipment, you could lose out on a profitable order. Single Transit Insurance can protect your one off shipment, however it\u2019s made easier with ZippySure. Understanding what you are looking at, what can affect the price and what are common mistakes can help you make the best decision when sending your next load. What is Single Transit Insurance? Single Transit Insurance is a type of insurance that covers your goods during a single journey from start to finish. It is also known as single shipment or specific voyage insurance. Single Transit Insurance is not designed for those who ship frequently and therefore is not an annual or open policy. This insurance is a good option for those shipping occasionally, or a single high value consignment. It covers goods transported by road, rail, air or sea. A common way for inland shipping within India is having an Inland Transit (Rail\/Road) Clause. This covers specific perils such as fire, explosion, lightning, collision, tipping and derailing. More comprehensive cargo clauses can be added, but the principle is the same. Your goods will be covered for a single journey and once they arrive at their destination the policy will come to an end. If you are shipping frequently, for example 10 consignments a month, it will usually be more beneficial to have an annual or open marine policy. However if you\u2019re a trader shipping a single container of machinery to a project site, Single Transit Insurance will be enough. Knowing what category you fall into will help you make a sensible decision. Why Should You Compare? Every shipment will have a different level of risk attached. If you\u2019re shipping fragile ceramic tiles for 1200km by road this will have a different risk than sealed electronic goods by air. This will affect how much you pay for Single Transit Insurance. When comparing, you want to make sure the policy will cover your risks. A low price with limited named peril cover may not be the best option if your loss isn\u2019t covered. A higher price with more comprehensive cover and clear claims process may be a better option. As a broker we know the most expensive option is the one that won\u2019t pay out. When comparing you\u2019ll have the time to ask the right questions. What is covered? What is excluded? How is the sum insured calculated? What documents do they need for a claim? What to Compare Across Single Transit Insurance Options Coverage and protection offered What cover is being provided? Is it a named peril policy or a more comprehensive all risk. Named peril policies will only cover losses that happen due to the listed perils. All risk policies may cover accidental damage, theft and other risks. Always read the cover clause. Types of goods covered Different goods will have different risk levels. Fragile items, perishables, hazardous, high value electronics and machinery will each have different conditions and rates. Make sure your goods are covered and any conditions around packaging are clear. Method of transport Just because you have a policy for road transport doesn\u2019t mean it covers rail, air or sea. If you\u2019re shipping using multiple methods or have a transhipment point, make sure your policy covers the goods throughout all transport methods. This is especially important for importers and exporters who may have goods shipped by sea and then road to a warehouse. Exclusions and limitations This is where a lot of claims go wrong. Common exclusions include leakage, loss in weight\/volume, wear and tear, inadequate packing, delay and inherent vice. Some policies will also exclude loading\/unloading unless specifically mentioned and priced. Knowing this before taking out a policy will avoid any nasty surprises. Sum Insured and Claims Your sum insured should be the total value at risk. This should include any freight, insurance costs, import duty and specialist packaging. Under-insuring will trigger the average clause and you will be responsible for a percentage of the loss. Make sure you know what the excess is, what documents are needed to make a claim and if it\u2019s new for old or market value. Single Transit Insurance Cost The price will depend on the rate of the commodity you are shipping, multiplied by the sum insured. The rate will depend on what you are shipping, where you are shipping to, what method of transport you\u2019re using, quality of packing and your claims history. When comparing make sure you know what is included. Policy purchase and documentation process If you are ready to send your goods, you want to make sure it\u2019s easy to purchase. What documents will you need? Usually an invoice. If you\u2019re importing\/exporting you may need a packing list, bill of lading or airway bill. How quickly can you get the policy? You don\u2019t want to be waiting days for the policy when your truck is at the loading bay. Choosing the Right Policy There is no one \u2018best\u2019 policy for every business. The best Single Transit Insurance for your goods will depend on three things; value of shipment, type of goods and method of transport. If you\u2019re shipping a one off high value piece of machinery you want to make sure you have comprehensive accidental damage cover and an accurate sum insured.
