Insurance
Standard Liability Cover
The standard contract limits the compensation payable to £13 per kilo, with an excess of £50 for each consignment.
Increased Liability Cover (ILC)
Please talk to us if you require Increased Liability Cover, which is available up to a maximum of £3,000 per consignment for computer equipment, software and mobile telephones and £15,000 per consignment for other goods. Increased liability cover can be purchased from your APC depot when booking the collection. You must declare the total value of the consignment at the time of sending the goods and you will be charged according to that value, and the declared value must reflect the actual value of the goods being transported, taking into account the age and condition of the goods.
Maximum Cover
£15,000 per consignment excluding computer equipment, software, mobile telephones or other audio/visual equipment which is subject to a maximum of £3000 per consignment.
