In today's fast-paced logistics industry, protecting your cargo during transit is not just important—it's essential. At Patel India, we understand that your shipments represent significant investments, and ensuring their safety through comprehensive freight insurance is a critical component of our Domestic Freight Services.

What is Freight Insurance?

Freight insurance is a specialized coverage that protects your goods against loss, damage, or theft during transportation. While carriers provide basic liability coverage, it often falls short of covering the full value of your shipment. This is where dedicated freight insurance becomes invaluable, offering peace of mind and financial protection for your domestic cargo.

Why Your Business Needs Freight Insurance

The journey from point A to point B involves multiple risks. Road accidents, weather-related damage, handling errors, and unforeseen circumstances can impact even the most carefully planned shipments. Without adequate insurance coverage, these incidents can result in significant financial losses that affect your bottom line.

At Patel India, our Domestic Freight Services include comprehensive insurance options because we've seen firsthand how unexpected events can disrupt supply chains. Whether you're shipping high-value electronics, perishable goods, or industrial equipment, proper insurance coverage ensures business continuity even when things don't go as planned.

Types of Coverage Available

Basic Carrier Liability: This minimal coverage is automatically included but typically covers only a fraction of your cargo's actual value—often just a few rupees per kilogram.

Comprehensive All-Risk Coverage: This premium option, offered through our Domestic Freight Services, protects against virtually all types of physical loss or damage, excluding only specific exclusions like inherent vice or improper packaging.

Named Perils Coverage: A middle-ground solution that covers specific risks such as collision, fire, or theft, offering more protection than basic liability at a lower cost than all-risk coverage.
