Why Buying Shipping Insurance for Your Car Is a Smart Move

Protecting Your Investment, Mile After Mile

When it comes to shipping a vehicle internationally, most customers focus on logistics: where it’s going, how fast it’ll get there, and how much it’ll cost. But there’s one critical element that many overlook — insurance.

???? What Is Shipping Insurance for Cars?

Shipping insurance is a safety net that covers your vehicle against potential damage or loss while it’s in transit — whether it’s rolling onto a RORO vessel, being loaded into a container, or crossing international waters.

???? Why It Matters

Even with the most experienced logistics providers, unforeseen situations can happen:

  • Accidents during loading or unloading

  • Port delays and strikes

  • Extreme weather at sea

  • Damage from other cargo

  • Rare but possible theft

Without insurance, any damage or total loss is your responsibility — even if it wasn’t your fault. With insurance, you're protected.

???? It’s a Small Cost Compared to the Risk

Shipping insurance is usually a fraction of your vehicle’s value, and far more affordable than covering repairs or replacement on your own. It’s peace of mind for the price of a minor add-on.

???? What Does It Cover?

Depending on your policy, insurance can cover:

  • Physical damage

  • Total loss

  • Theft during transit

  • Natural disasters

  • Container collapse or vessel sinking
