Movers Insurance

Moving house is widely considered one of the most exciting but stressful events in our lives. This is where transit insurance can help you rest easy, until everything is safely delivered and in its proper place. In the same way we view health, income protection, and other insurances as part of our daily lives, it’s essential we have peace of mind when moving. Accidents, unforeseen weather conditions, poor road conditions, and risk events can occur anytime, even when moving with the most careful of moving companies.  It is for these reasons that we strongly recommend that you consider our transit insurance cover for your relocation.

Under the Contract & Commercial Law Act 2017 and NZ Van Lines Terms & Conditions, we transport your household goods at ‘Owners Risk’.

This means NZ Van Lines is not liable for any loss or damage during the entire moving process unless we intentionally damage or lose them.

If you decide to accept insurance cover for your move, based on the options available, then your goods are carried at the declared value under the terms of the insurance policy.

Although some insurance companies may provide generic transit extensions to their household policy, the level of cover is limited and not comprehensive enough to provide full protection. NZ Van Lines protection plan(s) is underwritten by VERO. It is one of the broadest and most user-friendly in the market. Best of all, it is specific to the industry, providing full ‘end-to-end’ protection against the risks associated with moving house.
