Global Cargo Logistics Insurance covers the full value of your shipment against all risks

At Global Cargo Logistics, our business is to ensure that your shipment, whether it’s a pallet, parcel or document, arrives on time and in perfect condition, every time. We take this responsibility seriously. Even though we always take the utmost care with your shipment, circumstances beyond our control can occasionally affect the deliveries. That’s why Global Cargo Logistics Insurance ensures you get the full value of your shipment back in the case of loss or damage.

When you choose Global Cargo Logistics Insurance you get:

• Your shipment insured against all risks, regardless of Global Cargo Logistics’s liability. [see information about exclusions below]
• Compensation up to the full value of your shipment in case of loss or damage.
• Coverage for almost all types of goods and documents available across more than 200 countries and locations worldwide.

Compensation example

Understanding the difference between the coverage you receive with Global Cargo Logistics Insurance and our Standard Liability is easiest by way of example.

Global Cargo Logistics carries a shipment of computer appliances, weighing 10 kilograms, from Frankfurt to Milan by road. Unfortunately, the truck has an accident along the way, and the shipment is totally damaged. The customer files a claim for €5000 (the actual value of the goods).

Transported Goods	Standard Liability	Global Cargo Logistics Insurance
Computer appliances Weight = 10 kilograms	Following international conventions for travel by road, the compensation on Standard Liability is approximately €10/kilogram	Customer purchased Global Cargo Logistics Insurance valued at €5000.
Value = v5000	Compensation = €100	Compensation = €100

Top tips

• Pack your shipment carefully to protect the contents during transport
• Provide a complete and accurate delivery address.
• Describe the content of your shipment so we can advise whether special handling is required.
• For high risk goods or shipments valued above €25,000, contact Global Cargo Logistics for advice.
• To insure your regular volume of shipments automatically, please contact your Global Cargo Logistics representative for a competitive offer.
• Please check your local Global Cargo Logistics website to ensure that your goods sent to specific locations can be covered.

If you choose not to insure your goods

The actual value of your shipment may be worth thousands of euros, however standard liability in the event of loss or damage only covers about €10/kg by road or €20/kg by air. When you purchase Global Cargo Logistics Insurance, the full value of your goods is covered.
