MoveProtect – Enhanced Liability Cover
MoveProtect – Enhanced Liability is designed specifically to cover belongings that are being shifted from one home to another as part of a house, flat or office move. You might think that your normal household insurance covers your personal belongings against theft or accidental damage but few of them will do so when moving.

International cover is offered at a standard rate of 4% of the total value of your goods and UK/European insurance is offered at a standard rate of 3.55% of the total value of your goods.
