Hi everyone.

I'm moving to Amwaj from London in 10 days, and would like to insure my belongings for the journey. I'll bring 4 checked-in suitcases, with contents exceeding the standard travel insurance limit of £1,500. Probably around £10,000 in total.

I've only been able to find one quote, at £320. Given that I'm not moving the Crown Jewels, that seems a lot. Has anyone on here bought a similar policy? If so, which insurer did you use?

Regards,

Paul

I think it would be best to post on the UK forums as you might get better response re: insurance options from the UK. That is on the basis of declared value of goods anyways. The cheapest option for insurance is actually to ship via air freight vs. do a checked in extra luggage - you pay extra carry cost to the airline and then end up paying higher insurance rate as you are theoretically handling the shipment yourself....hence more risk assumed.
