If your freight is damaged in transit, are you covered? Protect it with Cargo Insurance. And now with instant quoting, you can get a single shipment quote online — get covered faster and for less!
Despite advances in shipping technology, accidents still happen. Cargo Insurance from DB Schenker protects the full invoice value of your cargo, plus shipping costs, plus an additional 10%. It’s called CIF +10% insurance, and it’s the only kind of freight insurance we offer. Considering that your carrier or freight forwarder’s liability is limited to just a set dollar amount per pound, regardless of the actual value of the loss, can you afford to go without Cargo Insurance?
Open Cargo Insurance
Even if you ship just a few times a year, you can save time and expense with an annual Open Cargo Insurance (Ocean Marine Cargo Insurance) policy. This all-risk cargo policy for marine, air, and ground transportation is the broadest form of shipping insurance. Open Cargo insures your company’s shipments on set terms, conditions and rates, without the need to contact your insurance brokers or transportation carriers each time your cargo is moved. Besides saving you money, the beauty of an Open Cargo all-risk policy is that, as long as you ship within your limit of liability, you never have to contact us unless you have a claim.
