Shop around to arrange insurance to suit your needs and price range.

You may be able to simply add insurance for the removal onto your current policy for household contents. Taking an hour to do this will save you money and worry.

Some covers offer full replacement value cover which provides new for old replacement of lost or irreparably damaged goods. Also available from some insurers is indemnity cover which covers the current market (second hand) value of your goods.

You may also need to arrange storage cover.

When comparing quotations, ensure you are comparing the same type of insurance. Check for exclusions and excess payments which are required to be paid in the event of a claim.

Some of your items may need to be specifically declared. If possible, try to avoid putting very valuable small items such as jewellery or important documents in the removal van. It may be prudent to carry those with you.
