Transit insurance is a special type of insurance that protects against damage and loss during transit. Just as you need to protect your belongings from loss whilst they are in your home, you also need to protect them throughout the moving process. Whilst Grace will take the utmost care of your effects, there are circumstances outside of our control that may put your belongings at risk.
