1

Importing a crane — needed CPM + transit insurance before unloading

The situation

A contractor importing a crane from another state needed Contractors Plant & Machinery (CPM) insurance plus transit coverage. The crane was arriving by trailer and he needed proof of insurance before the transport company would release it.

How we helped

We arranged CPM insurance with the correct sum insured based on invoice value, added transit cover for the movement, and got the certificate issued before the delivery date. Documents were shared on WhatsApp for quick verification at the unloading point.

Fleet of 12 lorries — one had an accident on NH, needed claim filed fast

The situation

A fleet owner with 12 lorries had one vehicle involved in a road accident on the NH belt near Red Hills. The driver was injured, third-party damage was significant, and the police complaint had to be registered. He didn't know what to do first.

How we helped

We guided the immediate steps: FIR copy, hospital records, spot photos, and insurer intimation within 24 hours. We prepared the claim documents in the right order so the surveyor could process without back-and-forth. The claim was settled without unnecessary delays.

Documents you'll need

  • Invoice + packing list + dispatch/receipt proof
  • Photos of packing condition (as applicable)
  • Transport documents + incident timeline

What affects premium and acceptance

  • Goods type/value, packing, route exposure
  • Loss history and proof discipline
  • Mode of transport and handling processes

Mistakes that delay or reduce claims

  • No packing proof for fragile/high-value goods
  • Late reporting after transit incident
  • Mismatch between declared goods and actual shipment
  • Missing packing proof for damage claims
  • Invoice / declared goods mismatch
  • Delay in reporting affects survey workflow

Before you buy or renew transit cover

  • Maintain invoice + packing list discipline
  • Capture packing condition photos for fragile/high-value goods (as applicable)
  • Keep dispatch/receipt proof process consistent

Which of these is you?

Regular shipper — same routes repeatedly

You move goods on the same NH corridors regularly and want a consistent process, not a one-off policy each time.

  • We set up a repeatable invoice/packing/dispatch proof habit so each shipment is claim-ready by default.
  • Route and mode declared clearly to avoid disputes if a claim arises.
  • One contact for cover across all your regular shipments.
WhatsApp — regular transit cover

One-off or occasional shipment

A single high-value shipment — machinery, equipment, or goods moving interstate — that needs cover just for that movement.

  • Cover arranged for that specific movement, sized to the declared value of what's being shipped.
  • Fast turnaround so this doesn't hold up your dispatch schedule.
  • Clear guidance on what proof to capture before and during transit for that one shipment.
WhatsApp — one-off shipment cover

Goods damaged — filing a claim

A shipment has already been damaged or lost in transit and you need to move correctly.

  • We confirm the policy pays you directly, regardless of who's at fault — you don't have to wait for the carrier to accept liability.
  • Guidance on preserving damaged packaging and gathering invoice/dispatch proof before the surveyor visits.
  • Support through the claim process from report to settlement.

Weak proof trail vs. clean documentation

Transit claims are almost entirely documentation disputes — this is what decides the outcome.

Still wondering?

Common questions people have before reaching out about this type of insurance.

?What if I've never bought this type of insurance before?

That's exactly when guidance matters most. We explain what the policy covers, what documents you need, and what common mistakes to avoid — before you commit to anything. You don't need to be an expert. That's our job.

?What happens when I send a WhatsApp message?

You'll get a reply (usually within a few hours during business hours). We'll ask a few questions about your situation — vehicle details, property type, etc. Then we'll explain your options honestly, including what's covered and what's not. No pressure to buy immediately.

?Will you try to sell me the most expensive policy?

No. We work with multiple insurers and recommend based on your actual need and risk. A lorry owner on NH needs different coverage than a car owner in the city. We explain the trade-offs and you decide.

Frequently asked questions

Questions people ask
Goods were damaged in transport — who pays? It depends on whose custody the goods were in and what your policy covers. A goods-in-transit/marine cargo policy pays you (the goods owner) directly for transit damage or loss, regardless of who is at fault — you don't have to wait for the carrier to accept liability. Report immediately, preserve the damaged packaging, and keep your invoice and dispatch proof ready for the surveyor.
Sending machinery to another state — do I need transit insurance? Yes. Interstate movement of machinery carries higher risk from longer transit time, multiple handling points, and road conditions. A goods-in-transit policy covers the machinery's declared value during that specific movement — get it arranged before dispatch, not after.
