Transit insurance: frequently asked questions
What does cash in transit insurance cover?
Depending on the policy, it can cover loss or theft of cash, checks and securities while they're moved, for example between your stores and your office, with your own messengers or a cash transport company.
What does it exclude?
It depends on the policy wording. Each policy sets exclusions and conditions, such as limits per shipment or security measures for certain amounts. Before you buy, we show you each insurer's so you can compare.
What is an open or floating transit policy?
It covers your shipments during the policy period, as agreed, without buying insurance for each one. The Commercial Code (Código de Comercio, art. 1050) provides that the value and details of each shipment are set in later declarations.
How much is transit insurance?
It depends on the value you move per year or per shipment, how often, the routes, the means of transport, security measures and loss history. We quote for free with several insurers.
