Let’s break it down for clarity. The cost? It stands at 3.5% of the value of goods you aim to insure plus VAT. To paint a clearer picture, for goods valued at R100,000, you'd be looking at R4,025. There's an R3,400 claim fee for the All Risk Insurance tailored for furniture removals.

However, certain stipulations ensure maximum protection. All furniture must be wrapped protectively — an essential condition set by our insurer. Unsure about this? Your dedicated removal consultant at JHB Removals is always at the ready to provide a quote for protective wrapping. When it comes to the contents of boxes, insurance only applies if they’re packed by JHB Removals or our trusted partners. This costs R85 per box, which includes a packer, the box, and packaging material.

To streamline the process, our insurer necessitates a detailed inventory of items along with their respective values that you intend to insure. Do remember: our all risk insurance, although comprehensive, excludes any mechanical damage. It's always prudent to understand the nuances of your chosen insurance plan.
