International Cargo Insurance

Vehicle Cargo Insurance in brief

As an importer of vehicles, you know the risks. Jacanna makes it easy with automatic insurance coverage. You get specialist insurance coverage for your imported vehicles at no cost to you. Your investment is covered.

Jacanna has tailored this insurance product to meet the specific needs of vehicle importers. The cover will protect your vehicles from the following and more: 

  • Fire  
  • Pilfering  
  • Stranding  
  • General average  
  • Mishandling  
  • Theft  
  • Earthquake 
  • Sinking  
  • Collision (whilst driven incidental to loading and unloading).  

To lodge a claim, complete a claim form, which can be found in the documents section of the website. Two repair quotes will need to be supplied when submitting your claim. Repairs cannot proceed before the claim has been accepted. Any repairs before the claim is accepted will void the insurance coverage. 

N.B: The $500.00 policy applies to all claims to be paid by the importer.
