Goods in Transit Insurance covers goods against loss or damage while in your vehicle or when sent by a third party carrier so if you’re a self-employed courier or remover it’s vital to make sure the goods you carry are covered.

The difference between Courier and Removers
You are a courier if:
- Delivering goods, parcels, packages and documents (for which you charge a fee for)
- ‘Man and van’ services which include the carrying of single items of household goods which do not form part of a house move, e.g. “someone buys a sofa from eBay, or a bed from a shop and you deliver it for them”
- typically undertaking multiple drops
- trading under no particular conditions of carriage
- you can be independent or work for a network
Adequate cover is really important as a courier. Your place of work is out on the road and it’s inevitable that you’ll run across problems now and then. Make sure that these problems don’t hit you harder than they have to.What you carry is as precious to your clients as your business is to you.
- You carry out home or office moves
- ‘Man and van’ work which involves transporting multiple items of household goods for the same customer
- You use your vehicle to solely transport household items
Having the right insurance is vital. Your place of work is out on the road and in and out of other peoples properties so it’s inevitable that you’ll run across the occasional problem. Make sure that these problems don’t hit you harder than they have to. What you carry is as precious to your clients as your business is to you.
