UK Freight Liability Insurance
Helping UK freight deliver on its promises
Haulage and logistics companies keep the UK supplied with everything from basic necessities to building materials. Their role could not be more vital.
So, when something goes wrong, it’s important that they have adequate protection in place to cover their legal liability for the loss of, or damage to, customers’ goods.
Travelers’ UK freight liability insurance is informed by our deep expertise in the worldwide freight industry.
It is delivered by a UK-based team of marine specialists made up of dedicated risk managers, UK marine underwriters and expert claims handlers.
It gives us the ability to help freight businesses protect themselves – and those who rely on them – from unexpected operational issues and costly impacts.
Travelers is committed to helping UK freight companies achieve their most ambitious goals. That means helping them to deliver on their promises, today and into the future.
