Szállításbiztosítás

Szállításbiztosítás, often translated as transport insurance or shipping insurance, is a type of insurance policy designed to protect goods and merchandise during transit. It covers potential losses or damages that may occur from the moment goods leave their point of origin until they reach their final destination. This can include risks such as theft, loss, damage due to accidents, fire, natural disasters, or improper handling.

The scope of szállításbiztosítás can vary significantly depending on the policy terms. It typically covers various modes of transport, including road, rail, sea, and air freight. Businesses involved in international trade or those shipping valuable or fragile items often utilize this insurance to mitigate financial risks associated with the transportation process. The cost of the insurance is usually a percentage of the value of the goods being shipped.

When a claim arises, the insured party must provide evidence of the loss or damage and demonstrate that it occurred during transit and was covered by the policy. Insurers will investigate the claim to determine its validity. Szállításbiztosítás plays a crucial role in ensuring the financial security of both the shipper and the receiver of goods, providing peace of mind against the inherent uncertainties of transportation.
