Within the scope of the carrier's liability insurance (CMR insurance), freight goods
of all kinds, including refrigerated goods transports, are insured from the time of
acceptance until delivery for all essential risks for which the carrier is liable.
When will a carrier be liable
for damages?
A carrier shall be liable to pay compensation if damage or loss of delivery occurs between taking over or loading the goods and their delivery to the consignee.
In the event of noncompliance with the agreed delivery time for the cargo, the carrier shall be liable not only for damage to or loss of the load but also for financial loss insofar as such has resulted in proven financial loss.

The insured sums or maximum compensation limits can vary
depending on the vehicle payload; up to EUR 1.5 million.
Various additional coverages can be arranged on request.

The premium is calculated based either on an annual lump-sum (turnover) premium per vehicle unit or annual sales.
