The Small Print
Goods can be left in the vehicle overnight with prior agreement, although customers should however be made aware that goods are not insured anywhere when left in the vehicle overnight and whilst every effort is made to ensure their safety Secure Transportation® Ltd cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage to them in doing so.
Customers should also be made aware of the limit of liability in the use of these conditions of carriage and storage and should ensure that they have sufficient cover over and above this for the both the carriage and storage of their goods.
We have in place a Goods in Transit policy of £2600 on an all risks basis for any one event per vehicle (Conditions apply). This still far exceeds the standard level of cover under our industry’s terms and conditions of carriage of £1300 per tonne. We also have a Public Liability Insurance Policy of no less than £5 million.
A separate Bespoke Marine Cargo Insurance Policy for the transportation of high value goods and an Engineers Insurance Policy for machinery movement is also available on request subject to our underwriters approval and additional premium.

Security arrangements
- Whilst we are happy to discuss the broader issues of a working relationship over the phone we would prefer not to undertake any work before we have met face to face. This is to ensure both parties are happy and we can demonstrate what we can do and the security arrangements we have in place. A signed NDA (non disclosure agreement) is required for discussions regarding our Secure Transportation. This can be downloaded via the link below
