FreightInsure provides cover for loss or damage to goods in transit. Cover applies from the moment goods are loaded at the collection point until they are delivered at the destination. Cover must be taken out before the shipment commences. Delay, consequential loss, disposal costs, and clean-up are not covered.

Yes. FreightInsure covers domestic freight within Australia and New Zealand, as well as imports into and exports from either country. Wholly international transits (with no Australian or New Zealand start or end point) require approval by FreightInsure, and some Cargo Liability transits may also be covered for wholly international movements where approved.

For domestic transits wholly within Australia, the coverage limit is up to AUD 100,000 per consignment. For domestic transits wholly within New Zealand, the limit is up to NZD 100,000 per consignment. For international transits to or from Australia or New Zealand, the limit is AUD 50,000 or NZD 50,000 respectively. For all transits, the insured value is specified by the customer at the time of quoting, subject to these maximums.

FreightInsure covers a wide range of goods types, including fragile and most dangerous goods (subject to applicable dangerous goods classifications). A full list of excluded goods is detailed in the Product Disclosure Statement and Policy Wording.

Certain goods are excluded, including currency, negotiable instruments, antiques, works of art, living animals or plants, tobacco products, personal effects, irreplaceable items, and some classes of dangerous goods (such as explosives and radioactive material). Goods that are inadequately packaged, used goods showing pre-existing damage or malfunction, and goods sent to undeliverable locations (such as PO Boxes or Authority to Leave addresses) are also excluded. The full exclusions list is in the Product Disclosure Statement.

Cover is only available where goods are suitably packaged, secured, and prepared in accordance with FreightInsure's packaging guidelines and any relevant industry requirements. FreightInsure's packaging guidelines are available on the website.

No. There is no excess payable by the insured on FreightInsure claims. Claims are assessed from dollar one.

FreightInsure processes claims in days, not months. Our freight-native claims team manages the assessment and resolution process end-to-end.

Claims can be lodged directly with FreightInsure online. Once lodged, FreightInsure manages the assessment process.

FreightInsure handles all claims management end-to-end. Distributors — including transport companies and technology platforms — do not need to manage or process claims. FreightInsure's claims team acts as the outsourced claims function.

Documentation requirements vary depending on the nature of the claim. FreightInsure will advise what is required once a claim is lodged. Generally, evidence of the shipment, the loss or damage, and the value of goods will be required.

Goods in Transit (also called Single Trip) is a per-consignment insurance policy purchased by the shipper. The shipper is the insured party, and the policy covers loss or damage to their goods in transit. Cargo Liability is a per-consignment policy purchased by the freight carrier. The carrier is the insured party, and the policy covers their legal liability for loss or damage to a customer's goods in transit. In both cases, the insurer pays all claims — there is no excess.

Yes. FreightInsure is designed for per-shipment cover. There are no annual policies, no minimum premiums, and no long-term contracts. Cover is taken out at the time of booking for each individual consignment.

In Australia, FreightInsure policies are underwritten by Assetinsure Pty Ltd and HDI Global Specialty SE. In New Zealand, policies are underwritten by HDI Global Specialty SE (NZ branch only).

FreightInsure holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). FreightInsure is the product — the underlying insurance is provided by licensed underwriters Assetinsure Pty Ltd and HDI Global Specialty SE in Australia, and HDI Global Specialty SE (NZBN 9429049187991, FSP 774050, Financial Strength Rating of AA-/stable Standard and Poor’s, A+ AM Best) in New Zealand.

FreightInsure is an insurance-backed product. All claims are paid by the insurer — there is no risk to the distributor. FreightSafe Warranty is a self-funded warranty product offered under the FreightSafe brand, where the transport company funds claims from their own revenue. FreightSafe Warranty is not an insurance product. The right product depends on the distributor's risk appetite and commercial model.

FreightInsure is priced per consignment based on the declared value of the goods being shipped. There are no annual fees, no minimum premiums, and no commitments beyond the individual shipment.

Transport companies earn in one of two ways depending on the product. On Goods in Transit, distributors earn a commission on every policy their customers purchase — a percentage of the premium received. On Cargo Liability, the carrier purchases cover from FreightInsure at a wholesale rate and sells their own transit protection product to customers at a retail price they set. The carrier keeps the margin between the two.

No. There is no upfront cost to become a FreightInsure distributor. FreightInsure earns only when the distributor earns.

FreightInsure connects to existing TMS, booking platforms, and freight management systems via a modern REST API. No migration or system rebuilds are required. Full API documentation, webhooks, and a sandbox environment are provided. Most integrations go live within two to three weeks.

We provide a comprehensive suite of developer tools to ensure a successful deployment. This includes detailed API documentation and design guides, a secure sandbox environment for isolated testing, and webhooks for real-time event notifications. Additionally, every partner is assigned a dedicated technical onboarding engineer to provide direct support throughout the build.

FreightInsure integrates with Cario, Fast Courier, Shippit, and other leading TMS and freight booking platforms. For platforms not yet integrated, FreightInsure's REST API supports custom integration without migration or rebuilds.

In Australia, FreightInsure is available to Australian entities and residents. In New Zealand, it is available to NZ entities and residents. Cross-border purchase between markets is not permitted.
