BENEFITS OF CARGO INSURANCE

When it comes to benefits of Cargo Insurance, it is very important. As you know, irrespective of the mode of transportation or courier service, coverage for issues during transit is typically minimal. Cargo Insurance offers significantly better protection. For instance, in airfreight, the airline covers only $2,333 for a $39,500 loss, leaving a $37,167 gap, while Cargo Insure Online covers $39,105, leaving just a $395 loss. In sea freight, the shipping line pays $21,111 on a $126,800 loss, resulting in a $105,689 gap, but Cargo Insure Online covers $125,300, reducing the loss to $500. For road transport, a trucking company covers $12,967 for a $24,200 loss, leaving a $12,967 gap, whereas Cargo Insure Online covers $23,958, leaving a $242 loss. This demonstrates the substantial difference in coverage between standard liability and Cargo Insure Online.
