Moving with Insurance vs Without: What’s the Real Cost?

Goods Transit Insurance: Why It Should Be Part of Every Move

Relocating your home or office is a major milestone—but it also comes with challenges. From packing and transporting fragile items to managing timelines, every step carries risks. The biggest question many overlook is: Should I move with insurance or without it?

At Abode Relocation, we believe transparency and protection are key. Here’s an honest look at the real cost of moving with and without insurance.


Moving Without Insurance: The Hidden Costs

Many people skip Goods Transit Insurance to save a small amount upfront. But here’s what you may end up paying instead:

  1. Damage to Household Items
    Furniture, electronics, glassware, and décor are vulnerable during transit. Without insurance, any damage comes directly out of your pocket.
  2. Loss of Expensive Assets
    Theft or loss of items like laptops, jewelry, or office equipment can lead to major financial strain without coverage.
  3. Downtime in Business Relocation
    For companies, damaged IT assets or machinery means downtime, leading to revenue loss and operational delays.
  4. Emotional Stress
    Replacing sentimental or valuable items costs more than just money—it brings unnecessary emotional stress.

Moving with Insurance: The Smart Investment

  1. Complete Financial Protection
    Goods Transit Insurance covers damages, theft, and accidents during relocation, giving you a financial safety net.
  2. Peace of Mind
    You can focus on settling into your new home or office knowing your belongings are secure.
  3. Minimal Additional Cost
    Compared to the potential financial and emotional burden of uninsured moves, the cost of insurance is negligible.
  4. Corporate Advantage
    For businesses, insured relocation means continuity—ensuring assets are covered and operations face no costly disruptions.
