## How it works

- **Tell us what you ship.** Share your goods, their value and whether you own them or carry them for someone else. Your Spot team asks how they move.
- **Map each shipment.** We lay out the road, air or water legs and any storage stops, and add your shipping contracts to the submission.
- **Brokers take it to market.** We work with brokers to request cargo proposals, and follow up on underwriters’ questions about handling and security.
- **Compare the whole journey.** See which legs and storage stops each quote includes, how it values goods and how it treats delay.

## What you’ll need

- **Goods and values.** What you ship and what a typical load is worth.
- **Your interest in the goods.** Whether you own them or are responsible for another party’s cargo.
- **Routes and transport stages.** Road, air and water legs, with origins and destinations.
- **Storage stops.** Warehouses and holding points along the journey, and for how long.
- **Shipping contracts.** Your transport contract and, for international sales, the shipping terms that say who arranges cargo insurance.
- **Loading and security practices.** How you load and unload, secure unattended vehicles and handle refrigeration if needed.
- **Loss history.** Past cargo losses and your current coverage.

## What affects your price

- **Value and type of goods.** Fragile, perishable or high-value goods cost more to insure.
- **Routes and modes.** Longer journeys and more transport legs add exposure.
- **Storage during transit.** Stops in warehouses add risk that the quote has to include.
- **Handling and security.** Loading practices, security for unattended vehicles and refrigeration controls are part of how insurers judge a shipment.
- **Limits and valuation.** Higher limits cost more, and the valuation basis changes what a claim would pay.

## Common questions

### Does cargo insurance cover a late delivery?

Not necessarily. Delay and loss of market can be excluded even when the shipment is insured, so we check each quote.

### Who has to arrange cargo insurance on an international sale?

It depends on your agreed shipping terms. Bring the agreement and we help you check who must arrange it.

### Is cargo covered under my trucking policy?

Not by liability alone. Cargo protection is a separate part of a trucking program. Spot has a separate page for trucking quotes.

### Does Spot replace my freight or cargo broker?

No. Spot works alongside brokers and takes no commissions on premiums. Keep yours, or switch to a broker that suits your shipping better.
