## Frequently asked questions

### What is Flexport Cargo Insurance?

Flexport Cargo Insurance is a service that protects your goods against loss or damage while in transit, whether by ocean, air, truck, or rail. It covers your shipment from origin to destination.

### Why do I need cargo insurance?

Without cargo insurance, you may only be entitled to limited compensation under carrier liability. This may not cover the full value of your shipment or certain loss scenarios. Insurance ensures you can recover your goods’ full insured value in the event of damage, theft, or loss.

### What types of shipments can be insured?

Most commercial shipments can be insured, whether they’re shipped via sea freight, air freight, or inland transport, including door-to-door coverage for multimodal shipments.

### How much does cargo insurance cost?

The cost is based on the insured shipment value and may be a small percentage of that value. Flexport provides insurance quotes so you can see the rate before purchasing coverage.

### How do I file a claim?

If your shipment is lost or damaged, notify Flexport immediately and provide supporting documentation such as the Flexport-provided brief claim form detailing the damage/loss and any photos if applicable. Flexport’s claims team will guide you through the process.
