5 Benefits of Offering Third-Party Relocation Insurance

Relocation insurance is too often overlooked as an added value to a moving or storage company’s primary services. Here are five good reasons you should consider partnering with Relocation Insurance Group to protect the value of your customers’ belongings:

1. Keeping up with the competition –More and more often, customers expect to have insurance options for their belongings while in transit or storage. For those of you currently not offering insurance, you may be losing business to those who are. Relocation Insurance Group offers competitive rates that can give your firm the edge it needs.
2. Financial liability – When your customer purchases third-party insurance, you have it in writing that you are no longer financially responsible for damage to their belongings. Can’t you feel the burden being lifted already?
3. Claims handling – A good relocation insurance broker has their own claims department with licensed claims adjusters. Let us handle the paperwork and investigating while you focus on doing what you do best.
4. Protect your reputation – Consumers are quick to write scathing reviews online when they are unhappy with a company’s performance. In the case of an accident or disaster having damaged someone’s belongings while in transit or storage, the best way to maintain your good name is to make sure the customer is satisfied with the resolution. Is there any substitute for full reimbursement of the value of the damaged items?
5. Synergy – Partnering with an insurance broker like Relocation Insurance Group offers more than just a service to your customers. We are constantly looking for new ways to leverage our industry relationships for the mutual good of our affiliates and our own business. Additionally, our program offers periodic advertising and promotional opportunities to help drive more business your way. When our affiliates succeed, so do we.
