Our CrownCare Movers insurance is quite unique and unlike any other insurance for moving house available from other companies. Here’s why:
Crown offers replacement cover, that’s replacement with new. Most third-party cover is at market or depreciated value, CrownCare is at replacement value – this means the value your item had at the time you purchased it
CrownCare is a specialist policy designed specifically for customers whose effects are moving within New Zealand or overseas. It is not an extension to your household contents cover. It provides comprehensive transit protection for the lifetime of the service and not just for parts of the service. This means we provide continuous cover from the moment we pick up your belongings until they are delivered back to you.
Not only do we offer a comprehensive plan but you can rest assured that we don’t deliver your goods and leave you to battle it out. In the unlikely event of a claim to and from anywhere in the world, you will only deal with Crown and not be subjected to settling agents and unknown third parties.
Rapid settlement of all claims is a feature of CrownCare. We manage our own policy and view claims settlement as a customer service. We settle claims in days and weeks rather than months.
For customers moving within New Zealand, any claims lodged with Crown will not affect their no-claims bonus entitlements on any other household insurances.
That’s why choosing CrownCare insurance is your best option when moving your treasured belongings from one location to another. It gives you complete peace of mind knowing that your effects are covered should the unforeseen happen.
