Spot for Cargo and Transit Insurance
We map your routes for brokers, compare cargo quotes on more than price and help you buy cover for every load you ship or carry.
Your Spot team describes your goods, typical and largest load values, routes and transport modes, storage locations, how you load and unload and how you secure unattended vehicles, then attaches your transport agreements.
Send your sales or transport contract. Spot checks who has to arrange insurance under the agreed terms, and whether you’re insuring goods you own or your responsibility for someone else’s, before anything goes to market.
