Vehicle Shipping to Zimbabwe: Insurance is Vital

Are you making a move in bringing your car to Zimbabwe? If so, you would need the services of a shipping company that are familiar with the nuances and procedures of vehicle shipping to Zimbabwe. The solutions provider must be familiar with Zimbabwe customs regulations, have an extensive network of carriers that provide satisfactory yet reasonably priced service, and is manned by knowledgeable and expert staff to handle unforeseen situations.

In addition, the service provider should offer you an auto shipping insurance policy. Generally, cars arrive in Zimbabwe undamaged, but it is preferrable to be on the safe side. The auto insurance policy, as per industry regulations provided by shippers, typically covers your vehicle against theft and damage based on the lowest Kelly Blue value. The standard policy sometimes excludes specific incidents such as glass or undercarriage damage. That is why it is essential that you have the right coverage for your vehicle’s value.

When obtaining insurance for your vehicle during shipping, request for a copy of the transporter’s shipping insurance together with your contract. Watch out for fine-print details such as whether there is a damage-deductable clause or if coverage is included in case you require to hire a car while the damage to your own automobile is being repaired.

In addition, see your personal insurance policy, if you have one, if it covers your vehicle. Verify the amount of coverage with your policy supplier. Furthermore, acquire the necessary documentation required to determine whether your personal insurance policy will act as primary or secondary insurance coverage in case shipping accidents will happen.

It is essentials to know that your personal insurance or the policy provided by your shipper excludes items left inside your vehicle. Therefore, prior to the moving date, take out all valuables in your car including the stereo, valuables, and adornments. Never stuff things in rarely-checked areas of your car such as under the seat or the glove compartment. Not only are you putting yourself at risk of theft but you are also violating customs regulations.
