Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about insurance with professional removal companies.

How much should I insure for?

You will need to list and itemise the value of your goods by completing an inventory declaration. If you prefer, you may simply declare the total value of your goods.

 

When estimating the value of your goods: If you have selected Replacement Cost cover, ensure that you estimate the cost of new goods of similar type. If you have selected Market Value Cover, estimate the amount your goods would be worth.

 

Remember that if you underestimate the value by less than 80%, the amount of your claim may be reduced.

How do I get a quote for insurance?

You can obtain an indicative quote for the insurance by advising an estimated total value of your property without completing the Inventory Declaration form, or you can give us a lump sum value.

 

However, your final quote will be subject to your selected option on the Insurance Declaration. Please read the Product Disclosure Statement for all the insurance benefits available, and make sure you provide the correct values in your list of property, so you have sufficient protection.

 

Once you have accepted our quote for storage and removal, completed and provided us with the Insurance Declaration and paid us the relevant amount(s) required for the cover you want to access a certificate of insurance will be issued.

Can you advise me on what removal insurance I should obtain?

We cannot offer any financial advice whatsoever. It’s best to obtain a financial services guide related to your insurance policy. You should read the PDS to decide if the policy suits your needs, objectives, and financial situation before you decide whether to obtain it.

 

Cowden (Vic) Pty Ltd is an insurance broker licensed to advise on and deal in General Insurance. If you need advice or your insurance needs that differ from the cover available in our policy, we can refer you to Cowden (Vic) Pty Ltd – Aldridge & Street Division (03) 98677663, who will be able to assist you.
