14.REMOVALS INSURANCE

At RemovinGo Removalists, we are proud of the high standard service we provide. We have a very low claim incident ratio because of our commitment to security and protection. We always focus on provision of a high-quality service and minimisation of a damage during the relocation process. However, during moving goods are exposed to a number of risks many of which are outside of our control whilst your goods are in transit and during loading and unloading. Therefore, we at RemovinGo Removalists are unable to accept any responsibility for damage to your property, though we assure you that we take the utmost care with every move. As you need to protect your valuable possessions and property in your home, we strongly recommend that you consider protecting the same valuable personal possessions and property whilst in transit, during loading and unloading. It is a common misconception that removalists insure your possessions with every move. By Law removalists are unable to insure your individual items unless they are a registered insurance agent.
