It is a common misconception that removalists insure your possessions with every move. By Law, removalists cannot insure your individual items unless they are a Registered Insurance Agent. Some insurance companies cover your possessions for relocation if you have Home & Contents Insurance. If you require Comprehensive Insurance, & your Content Insurer does not cover this, you would need to contact an Insurance Company or a Insurance Broker.
