Cheap quotes can hide expensive risks. Here's what insurance actually covers, what to ask any removals firm, and why it should never be optional.
When you compare removals quotes, the cheapest is rarely the safest. Many low-cost operators carry only basic public liability cover — which protects them, not your belongings.
Goods-in-transit insurance is what actually protects your possessions while they're on the van or being carried in and out. Without it, a dropped box of family china is your problem, not the mover's.
At TrentBridge Removals Nottingham, every job is covered by both: goods-in-transit insurance up to a generous per-load value, and full public liability for any accidental damage to your property (or your neighbour's). It's standard, not an extra.
Three questions to ask any removals firm before you book: 1) What's the per-load goods-in-transit limit? 2) Are you VAT-registered with a verifiable trading address? 3) Can you email me your insurance certificate before the job?
If a quote sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Spending a little more for proper cover means peace of mind on the most stressful day of the year.
