Brisbane Removalist Insurance – What You Need to Know

📦 Is Your Stuff Actually Covered During a Move? Here's the Truth About Removalist Insurance in Brisbane

Most people assume that once the removalists are loading your fridge, TV, and couch into their truck, everything’s automatically insured.

Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

At Get It Cheaper, we make it easy to compare Brisbane movers who are upfront about insurance — so you don’t get stuck paying for damage that isn’t your fault.


🧾 Do All Removalists Include Insurance?

Short answer: No.

Some provide:

  • Public Liability Insurance (covers injuries and property damage to others)

  • Transit Insurance (covers your goods during transport — sometimes limited)

  • Goods-in-Care Insurance (covers accidental damage while carrying)

Others offer none at all — and if your items are scratched, dropped, or broken, you could be left footing the bill.

That’s why we recommend checking insurance before you book, or using a platform (like ours) that lists coverage upfront.

🔍 What to Ask Before Booking a Mover

  1. What kind of insurance do you carry?

  2. Are my items covered while being carried or only in transit?

  3. Is there an excess or limit per item?

  4. Can I purchase additional coverage if needed?

  5. Is accidental damage included or excluded?

If the mover dodges these questions — run.


🧠 Should You Get Your Own Insurance?

If you're moving high-value items (e.g. TVs, antiques, musical instruments), it's worth considering separate contents insurance or a transit insurance policy through your home insurer.

But for the average move, working with an insured mover through Get It Cheaper offers the peace of mind most people need.


🧼 Moving From a Rental? Don’t Forget Your Bond Clean

Damage during a move could also affect your bond return. If you scuff walls or floors while moving out, having your bond clean professionally done can help reduce disputes.
