What type of insurance covers goods for one specific trip?

Trip transit insurance is designed specifically for covering goods during a single journey or trip. This type of policy provides coverage for loss, damage, or theft of shipments as they are transported from one location to another for that distinct trip. It is tailored to the unique risks associated with transporting goods a single time, which makes it particularly useful for businesses or individuals transporting items for events, conventions, or temporary relocations.

In contrast, regular transit insurance typically covers shipments over a more extended period, often applicable to multiple trips or a constant state of shipment, which does not focus on a one-time trip scenario. Annual transit insurance covers all shipments made by a policyholder within a year, and comprehensive coverage generally encompasses a broader range of risks or incidents, often beyond just transportation, such as general liability. Therefore, trip transit insurance effectively meets the specific needs associated with covering goods for one particular trip.
