Insurance

Protecting your consignment – door to door

Why should you insure?

When Allied Pickfords moves your goods abroad, you can be assured that we will do our best to ensure they arrive at your new home safe and sound. After your goods are packed they will pass into the hands of other organisations including shipping companies, airlines and handling agents. Most shipments reach their final destination in good condition, but from time to time accidents do happen for a variety of reasons. It is for these reasons that we strongly advise that you take out insurance.

What do I need to do?

You will need to complete a proposal form. You will also need to declare the replacement value as new in the country you are moving to.

Four Allied advantages

There are four key advantages to choosing Allied Pickfords insurance offering:

Replacement as new

Allied Pickfords provides replacement as new insurance, which is designed to ensure that in the event of loss or damage, your valued possessions will be covered from the moment we arrive in your home, right through to delivery at your new location.

A range of options to suit your needs

As well as our standard policy, you can also choose from a range of options which will extend your insurance cover, including:

• Pairs and sets insurance - Additional protection of a complete pair or set if only one part of the set is damaged or lost
• Mechanical and electrical derangement – additional protection for the derangement of electrical and mechanical goods e.g. videos, hi -fis and pcs
• Mould and mildew insurance – additional protection against damage by mould and mildew
• Packing and shipping insurance – recover your packing and shipping costs in the case of the complete loss of your shipment

No excess to pay

Unlike other moving companies, Allied Pickfords' insurance has no excess to pay so in the event of a claim there are no surprises for our customers.

In house claims settlement

In the event of a claim, Allied Pickfords will settle claims promptly through our in-house claims department. We take complete responsibility for claims management, using loss adjusters where appropriate, and never pass the management of claims to a third party
