At Your One-Stop-Shop When it Comes to Shipping, You Can Now Get Additional Insurance Coverage Too!<\/span><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve been asking for it and it\u2019s finally here! Our<\/span> instant, additional third-party insurance<\/b> for your freight shipping needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Statistically, your shipment only has about a 2% chance of getting lost or damaged during transit. This sounds like a pretty reasonable margin, considering the amount of freight that gets moved around daily. That is, <\/span>it sounds reasonable until it happens to you<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carrier standard liability covers about $2\/lbs which means that <\/span>if your shipment weighs 500 lbs, it would be covered for $1000 regardless of its value<\/b>. Depending on what it is you ship, that could be plenty or it could be pocket change compared to what you need.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud to announce that we\u2019ve integrated third-party insurance into our system that allows you to instantly add additional insurance based on the value of your shipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve booked your shipment, you\u2019ll be taken to another page, where you will be able to request additional insurance if you need it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cargo<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve clicked the \u201c<\/span>Yes, add extra insurance<\/b>\u201d button, you will see an additional menu appear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply enter the amount you\u2019d like to insure<\/b>. For example, we\u2019ve selected to insure aircraft parts for $14,000 CAD for the purpose of this example.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

After entering the amount and selecting the cargo type, simply click on the add insurance button<\/b> (which will also show the price of the additional insurance) and you\u2019re good to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, you\u2019ll be taken to the payment page as usual, and you\u2019ll be done. <\/span>Your shipment is booked, and your cargo is insured. It\u2019s as easy and quick as that<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only thing left to do now is to test it out yourself! <\/span>Get your quote<\/span><\/a>, book your shipment, and check out our amazing, instant additional insurance software.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you happen to have any additional questions, concerns, or commodity suggestions, please feel free to contact our Client Care team at <\/span>clientcare@freightera.com<\/span><\/a>! You\u2019ll get everything you may need from them!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
