Insurance options for your move How to protect your most valuable belongings

A move often comes with many uncertainties, especially when it involves transporting valuable items. Whether it is expensive furniture, artwork or personal keepsakes, peace of mind is priceless. That is why moving insurance is a key part of every well-planned move. At DACHSER & KOLB, we offer tailored insurance solutions that protect your most valuable belongings throughout the entire move.

Why moving insurance is essential

A move always involves a certain level of risk, even when carried out by experienced professionals. Unexpected events can occur on the way from A to B, such as transport damage, loss or other unforeseen incidents. Moving insurance covers these risks and gives you the confidence that your valuable items are comprehensively protected.

Combined with our expertise in art transport, you can be confident that your treasures are in the best hands.

How does a moving insurance work?

Taking out moving insurance is simple and straightforward. Before the move, we discuss the value of your belongings with you and clarify which items require special coverage. Based on this information, you receive a tailored insurance offer from us that optimally covers your needs. In the event of a claim, you can be confident that you are financially protected by the insurance and that the damage incurred will be compensated.
