Why Consider Additional Insurance?

Greater peace of mind

Basic or full cover insurance provides certainty. Even if the unexpected happens—such as fire, theft, or water damage—your policy covers your items, regardless of who is at fault.

Protection against accidents

The process of moving involves road travel with its own hazards, like potholes, sudden stops, or other drivers. Even with our careful packing and secure transport, your goods are at higher risk in transit.

Protect fragile items

Many household items, such as flat-pack furniture and modern TVs, aren’t designed to withstand the rigors of moving. Basic or full cover insurance helps protect against these vulnerabilities.

Our Standard Insurance Coverage

At Holloway, we take great care in every move. However, unexpected incidents can occur and as a reputable removalist, we have the following insurance coverage:

Public Liability Insurance:
Covers costs related to bodily injury or damage to third-party property caused by our team. For instance, if we accidentally scratch the floors of your new home, this policy will cover the damage.

Goods in Transit Insurance:
As a business we have our own insurance that covers loss or damage to your property during transport if it’s caused by our negligence. For example, if we mishandle your belongings while loading or unloading, you’re covered.

However, our insurance does not cover damage to your goods unless it results from our proven negligence. For example, if our truck is rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light, and your belongings are damaged, it’s unlikely our insurer would find us at fault.

Workers Compensation Insurance:
Protects our employees in case of injury while working on your move.

Insurance FAQs

Even with the most professional and experienced removalists, accidents can happen. So, if you are planning a move, it is recommended you do consider Home Contents in Transit Insurance. Even if you have Home and Contents insurance you may not be covered to the same extent or, you may not be covered at all.

Just like any other type of insurance, Home Contents in Transit Insurance means you are insuring against the risk of an unforeseen event occurring during your relocation that can have an impact on your household contents and personal belongings.

Our insurance covers negligence on our part, such as if we scratch the floors of your home. Additional insurance is recommended if you have valuable items or fragile belongings that require extra protection during the move.

Purchasing additional insurance will provide you with peace of mind and financial protection in the event of an unforeseen event occurring during your relocation, whether its due to the removalist or not.

The policy covers your belongings for up to 30 days in storage during transit. If you require storage for longer than 30 days, you can request a storage extension when you purchase your policy.

Yes. Exclusions include electrical or mechanical failure, ordinary wear and tear, pre-existing damage, mould, rust, and loss of items like cash, jewellery, or pets.

It is important to read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to understand the full list of exclusions.

If we are responsible for losing or damaging your property during uplift, delivery or whilst storing your goods.

For example, if our truck was stationary at traffic lights and was hit in the rear by another driver damaging your goods, we are unlikely to be considered negligent for this damage.

Our removalists take care and use precautionary measures to ensure that your contents arrive safely but if your contents have to sit in their truck overnight or in storage for a long period of time, things can happen that are out of the removalists control.

If you can recall the type of goods you were moving through an inventory list prior to the move, we can assist with such unexplained losses occurring. We can provide you with an inventory checklist or ask your removalist who should be able help you arrange this.

If you wish to make a claim under your insurance policy, we can send you a claim form immediately.

Once you return this to our office, we can get this lodged to a dedicated claims team at QBE Insurance, who will contact you to work through the claim and documents you require.

Home and Contents Insurance varies across the board and it is not always the case that your policy will cover damages that occur to your household contents and belongings during relocation. Some insurers may offer optional extras to cover you for transit or storage, but it may not be sufficient. It is best that you review your policy details or contact your insurer to see if you are covered.

Yes, you can cancel your policy before the removal begins. After the transit starts, the policy cannot be canceled.

A delicate move back in of remaining bulky heavy furniture onto freshly restored floorboards of a small Queenslander with a narrow corridor. I made a last minute overnight booking and the team promptly responded to organise arrival on time, and delivery on time. Everyone, everything was impressively efficient, from staff follow up on telephone / email contacts to the two guys who did the job on site within the timeframe. What was required was clearly understood, and they were complying to all instructions, very caring, no damage whatsoever on the floors or the furniture. Even got a small discount. Highly recommended, and a big word of thanks for a great help.
