Supplemental insurance

You have the option of taking out additional insurance to avoid any damage during the transport of your goods. For this, we have developed two types of insurance.

Additional “travel” insurance

All carriers need civil liability coverage in order to be covered against possible damages. Thus, your goods are automatically covered by a trucker's civil liability up to a maximum of CHF 11.00 per kg. If you wish to be fully covered, we can offer you the possibility of subscribing to additional insurance. This all-risk insurance allows you to cover damage and losses suffered during the entire transport phase. If required, Martin Transports can therefore take out a "travel" policy which will allow you to benefit from full compensation for any damage. The insurance premium will be based on the value of the goods that you will want to communicate when you request an offer.

Supplementary insurance for regular transport

You can also take out an insurance policy that covers all of your supplies and/or shipments for a given year. This is the solution commonly chosen by large companies that have to transport goods regularly. The all-risk insurance covers any damage, with the exception of those expressly excluded, such as a hidden defect or a lack of packaging, for example. This policy can even plan to cover all of the company's transits without declaration, without exception, in order to provide maximum security. The contribution is then calculated on revenue. A deductible mechanism can be put in place, thus making it possible to keep the contribution low.
