Goods in Transit Insurance Explained

Goods and materials are often one of the most valuable assets a business owns therefore it is important to protect them against loss, damage or theft when they are in transit. Whether you are delivering items of stock or you're a tradesman transporting expensive materials and equipment from job-to-job, make sure your assets are protected from the unexpected.

"Goods in transit" insurance has typical inclusions which most insurance providers will allow for. Loss or theft of goods during transit and damage caused by accidents during transit are common inclusions. Loss of earnings cover caused by delays in transit is another common feature of this type of insurance.

When searching for quotations for goods in transit insurance, make sure you ask each insurance company for a breakdown of the policies they offer so you can see exactly what is, and is not, covered. When you are searching for quotations you will also be able to select the level of cover that is most applicable for the goods you deal with. The value of the goods you transport will be a determining factor when selecting the level of cover required.

If you store tools, equipment or stock in your vehicle overnight it is advisable to check whether your policy will provide cover for this situation. As with all insurance products, the details of the policy will alter dependent on the provider with some offering overnight cover as standard and others providing it as an additional add-on.

It is most likely that if goods or materials are stored in a van overnight that it will need to be kept in a locked garage or compound with secure walls and/or fences and locked gates. This could be a determining factor in whether your insurance company will cover the cost of any damage or theft so make sure this part of the policy is clear before making any final decisions.

Another practical consideration to bear in mind when comparing goods in transit insurance quotations is whether you will receive a new-for-old replacement or whether your policy will take depreciation into account.

There are several ways of keeping the cost of your goods in transit insurance to a minimum. Opting out of any cover that is not necessary for your business helps to minimise expenditure. Check with insurers about which features of the policy are optional and which are included as standard.

If you have more than one van to insure then investigate the insurance options for multiple vehicles. Many providers will offer a discount if several vans are insured at the same time and using the same provider can help to keep your administration streamlined and hassle free.

As with all types of insurance, the cost of goods in transit insurance will depend on the level of risk perceived by your insurance provider. If you have made previous van insurance claims or your company has a record of losing goods then you will probably find the premiums to be more expensive.

How do we get politicians to fix the energy crisis?!?

Ok, now that I've made my screaming subject, let me ask this intelligently (and thereby limit my responders to maybe four or five brave souls)... we suffer from an energy crisis in our nation's power grid, weakened infrastructure, insufficient highways, limited mass transit, and a lessening of basic public services (when was the last time you saw a new library open?). These aren't 'hot' issues, but they're serious and not being addressed. These problems have been growing for decades, so please keep the "I hate Bush" comments out of this. The real problem is, politicians don't seem to care because they're only worried about immediate results for their constituents. My question is, how do we get them to care? Does anyone know a way to bring these problems to a national level and make them part of the debate? Are there lobbyists or other groups who work to fix this? I'd really like to know.

First, let me compliment you on keeping away from partisan politician bashing.

Obviously, I don't have an easy answer for you, but something I would suggest is that you focus on LOCAL politics. Many energy issues (e.g. the number of refineries in a state) and most public transit issues are local issues. That's why San Francisco has the amazing BART and Los Angeles has the decidedly less amazing RTD.

Local politicians are more accessible. They're more immediately beholden to their constituents. And, it's much easier to get local media attention for demonstrations, etc. Consider the success of the bus riders strike that took place in LA several years ago. They really had an impact.

So, my first suggestion is to get educated on local politics: find out who your representatives are, find out what propositions may be in the works, and then start getting on mailing lists and message boards. Usually, message boards have partisan affiliations but that's okay.

Second, pick your battles. You've mentioned some pretty broad problems. You can make the biggest difference by choosing one or two causes and pursuing them. If you want to see more funding go to libraries, then start looking into what programs exist to raise money for libraries in your area. Heck, pick a library and go talk to a librarian, find out what they need there. One place to start is the Gates Foundation. Their Library Project is more about getting computers into libraries, but it's a starting point. Organize a fundraiser or a book drive. Try working with literacy programs. Start small. Once you have a success, you can build on that.

Too often, I think we're taught to look to politicians to fix problems. The bigger and more centralized government gets, the tougher it is to get anything done. That's why working at the Federal level isn't ideal.

Which brings me to my last suggestion which you may not like: consider the private sector. Obviously, this isn't an option when it comes to building highways. But if there's a neighborhood that is being underserved by mass transit, why not come up with a business plan and try to get investors or a grant?

When you work within your community or an underserved community, you have a better chance of seeing real change, of creating a legacy of personal responsibility and investment by local residents, and of creating a positive example that can be replicated and expanded upon.

Just my opinion. Good luck.
