Insurance for your move
If Your Goods are Worth Moving They’re Worth Insuring
Insurance regulations in Australia have recently gone through many changes aimed at protecting the consumer and ensuring full disclosure of all the facts.
These changes mean that approved furniture removalists can now legally offer you Transit and Storage Insurance Cover.
Noosa Van Lines is an authorised representative registered with Australian Securities Investment Commission of Cowden (Vic) Pty Ltd, Aldridge and Street Division, a general insurance broker. As members of AFRA and authorised representatives, our team has been trained and are qualified to arrange transit and storage insurance for you.
Insurance on your move is optional. Firstly, check your existing home contents insurance policy to determine whether or not any cover is provided there. If not, Noosa Van Lines can organise insurance for you.
To do this we will supply you with the following documents:
- Customer Checklist – a short check list of steps to be taken to help you through the insurance maze.
- Product Disclosure Statement – which provides information about the main features of the insurance offered.
- Financial Services Guide – This outlines how the policy can be arranged, and how parties are remunerated.
- Policy Wording – which details precisely the risks covered, the basis of settlement, exclusions, claims procedures and special conditions of the policy in plain English.
- Insurance Declaration Form – for your completion to itemise goods covered and specify the type of insurance cover required.
- Frequently Asked Questions – a table of frequently asked questions and quick answers.
How to Make Sure You Have Removal Insurance
Completion of the Insurance Declaration form and return of it to Noosa Van Lines before your move means that you can be assured you are covered in accordance with the level you select and the premium paid.
What Type of Removals Insurance Do I Need?
Full Cover, which, as it suggests covers your goods in the event of loss or damage from any external cause, including accidental damage from the time the removalist uplifts goods from your home until delivery into your new home.
What’s the Excess?
An excess of $500 applies to any claims.
Where your goods are held in storage, full cover may be extended at a small monthly premium to provide you with full insurance over this period and then the redelivery to your new home.
