PROPOSAL - VEHICLES
IMPORTANT - PLEASE COMPLETE IN BLOCK LETTERS AND GIVE DEFINITE ANSWERS TO EACH QUESTION

Please note that when completing your insurance values, the correct value for the vehicle insured is listed. 
Failure to give the correct value in this proposal will result in the Underwriters applying an average
percentage to the value, if your goods are underinsured.  For example: if your vehicle’s value is  £5000 when
in fact it is worth £9000, and your claim is for £9000 at destination, then the Underwriters will apply an
average due to underinsurance, and your claim will not be settled in full.

  N.B. All material facts must be disclosed. Failure to do so could invalidate the Policy. A material fact is one that would be likely to influence an Underwriter in the assessment and acceptance of the proposal. If in any doubt as to whether a fact is material then it should be disclosed.

           You should keep a record ( including copies of letters) of all information supplied to Underwriters for the purpose of entering into the contract.  A copy of the completed proposal form will be supplied by Underwriters on request within three months of completion of the proposal .

DECLARATION
 I declare that the details herein are correct according to the best of my knowledge and belief,  and agree that the particulars and statements given shall form the basis of the contract  between us. I agree that every item requiring insurance is listed overleaf with the correct  quantities and values listed.  I further agree that if correct values are not listed and my vehicle  has been underinsured, I acknowledge that any claim will have an average applied.  I declare that I have read and understood all motor terms and conditions contained within this proposal. 

Limited Liability
In the removals industry, limited liability is standard practice because the mover does not know the value of a customer's goods.  In many cases our limited liability will not cover the value of your consignment in the event of loss or damage.
 

We encourage all our customers to take out insurance to cover themselves against losses greater than the limits set out in our terms and conditions and for risks where they have no rights of recourse against the removal contractor.
 

Whilst every care is taken it is unfortunately a fact, that there are times, very occasionally, when something does get damaged or lost.  Like all car shipping companies Autoshippers UK rely on certain outside parties to assist in your move. This may be the shipping line or indeed an over zealous customs officer who decides to inspect your vehicle.  To cover for such eventualities we offer a Lloyds insurance policy to cover your goods whilst in our care.  

Claims Time Limit
For vehicles shipped by Autoshippers UK, claims must be notified within 14 days of discharge of vessel at destination. If another company collects the vehicle from an overseas depot, then they must inspect the vehicle and any claims must be notified when the vehicle is handed over by the overseas depot. You will be asked to sign that you have received the vehicle in “good condition”. Please ensure that the company collecting your vehicle check them before signing. Insurers can refuse to pay claims if you do not adhere to these time limits.
