Choosing CrownCare transit protection means choosing security, simplicity, and speed. Protect your treasured belongings with CrownCare International Moving Insurance—because when it comes to moving overseas, comprehensive coverage isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity.
Choose our moving house insurance to ensure that your belongings are protected while they’re in transit or at our storage facilities.
While at Crown, we take every care to ensure that your belongings are handled carefully, packed professionally and transported as safely as possible, sometimes unforeseen circumstances can happen.
But, with our moving house insurance, you can have complete peace of mind knowing that your treasured belongings are covered and will be replaced if they become damaged.
Our Transit protection covers your entire belongings while they’re in transit from one location to another. The insurance also covers your goods while they’re in our storage facilities.
If the unforeseen happens and your goods need to stay in our storage facilities for longer than previously booked, we can arrange an extension to your cover.
Our exceptional Transit protection covers any small or large damage to your belongings including chips, dents, scratches and breakages.
To take advantage of our full transit protection, it’s essential that you have your belongings packed by our professional team.
However, we do offer restricted cover packages for customers who prefer to pack their own belongings.
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.
Moving insurance in New Zealand is designed to protect your household goods throughout every stage of your move. CrownCare moving insurance provides specialist protection for local, regional, and inter-island relocations, covering your belongings while they are professionally packed, loaded, transported, stored, and delivered.
Unlike standard household contents insurance, moving insurance NZ customers rely on is specifically designed for relocation services. Coverage applies while items are handled by trained moving professionals and while goods are in transit between locations, ensuring protection against loss or damage caused by unforeseen events.
CrownCare moving insurance protects your belongings during:
Professional packing and preparation
Loading at pickup and unloading at final destination
Road transport between cities and regions
Inter-island movements involving ferry or coastal shipping
Short-term storage associated with your move
This door-to-door household goods insurance coverage ensures your belongings remain protected for the full duration of the moving service journey.
Transport and shipping insurance is very important when moving homes in New Zealand, particularly when your relocation involves long distances, coastal routes, or inter-island crossings. CrownCare provides specialised transport and shipping insurance to protect your items from the unexpected while moving household goods within New Zealand.
Many NZ-wide relocations involve long-haul road transport, ferry crossings between the North and South Islands, or coastal shipping services. Relocations involving these kinds of transport often have additional handling and transit risks that are not covered by standard contents insurance policies.

Transported by road over long distances
Loaded onto and unloaded from ferries or coastal vessels
Shipped between islands or regional ports
Transferred between different modes of transport as part of a single move.

By combining moving insurance, transport insurance, and shipping insurance under a single specialist policy, CrownCare ensures consistent protection across every stage of your New Zealand move — from departure to arrival.
With both international and domestic options available, you can be confident knowing your belongings are protected from pickup to final delivery, no matter where in the world you are moving.
Transit insurance protects your belongings while they are being packed, transported or stored during a move, covering damage caused by accidents, handling, moisture or unexpected events.
