Protecting Your Belongings During Transit

Moving is often a monumental task that comes with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. You might be looking forward to starting a new chapter in life or preparing to relocate overseas for work or family reasons.

Whatever the reason for your move, it's completely natural to feel a level of anxiousness throughout the process. After all, your belongings aren’t just items, they’re part of your daily life. The stress can escalate quickly if you arrive at your destination only to discover something has been damaged or gone missing during transit. This is why Allied strongly recommends arranging a Transit Protection Plan when moving to or from Singapore.

Why Protection During Transit Matters

Whilst Allied takes every precaution to protect your possessions, there are external factors beyond anyone’s control that need to be considered during transit. These include weather conditions, traffic incidents, vibration, shock, pressure movement and atmospheric changes, all of which can occur during local, regional or international relocations.

In some cases, unforeseen circumstances can also lead to financial implications, such as a shipping company declaring 'General Average'. To provide peace of mind against these risks, Allied offers a purposely designed Transit Protection Plan, arranged based on your nominated declared value.

What Allied Transit Protection Plan Includes

Allied offers 2 options for comprehensive protection from origin to destination, with clear accountability and support throughout the journey.

Gold Protection Plan (Lump Sum)

The simplest and most comprehensive option including add-ons to provide enhanced protection. Coverage for the overall value of your shipment which is ideal when you want complete protection without itemising everything.

Standard Protection Plan (Valued Inventory)

Lower entry cost with the ability to add protection only where needed. Specific values are assigned to each item for tailored, precise coverage.

Key Features Include:

  • One company responsibility from origin to destination, with no third parties involved
  • Repair or replacement value as new at destination, not exceeding the agreed declared value
  • Dedicated case manager assigned in the unlikely event of a claim
  • In-house claims centre, ensuring a streamlined and efficient claims process
  • Storage Protection, for up to 90 days if you wish to store your belongings

Add-Ons For Enhanced Protection

To suit individual needs, Allied includes a range of add-ons to the Gold Protection Plan. These are optional on the Standard Protection Plan.

Mechanical And Electrical Derangement

Cover for mechanical and/or electrical items you nominate, providing repair, restitution or replacement where an item has no visible external damage but is no longer functioning.

Pairs And Sets

Protection for pairs and sets nominated by you. If one component of a matched set is lost or damaged, the plan provides replacement of the entire pair or set.

Mould And Mildew

Cover for mould and mildew that may occur during transit, particularly beneficial for long-haul or sea freight moves.

Storage Protection Beyond 91 Days

Storage Protection for a total of 90 days at origin and/or destination is included. However, we can offer extended coverage beyond 90 days if you need more time.

Travel With Confidence

You want a smooth, worry-free move for yourself and your family, and confidence that your belongings are protected every step of the way. Whether your items are sentimental, valuable or simply essential to everyday living, Allied's Transit Protection Plans are designed to minimise stress and provide reassurance during your move to or from Singapore.
