Transport Insurance

[Gav]

I've got a quote for transport (shipping) insurance for the R32 GTR that I'm bringing over.

2.5% of the value with an XS of $500 (exlcudes any rust, oxidisation or discolouration). Cover is from Port to Port.

I'm trying to weigh up the risks of this insurance - anyone had bad damage done during transit?

BTW - The car is stock with no aftermarket "goodies"

There was no damage done to my car on the way over. No theft either. My car came via Kiwi Car Carriers.

I've heard stories of theft and cars going into the ocean not sure how you would prove that the rust was caused by the two weeks on the ship.....

HEy,

Mate get insurance trust me... with all the problems and stuff you can run into with importing.. the last thing you need is a damaged car which is not covered by insurance.. if you dont have insurance the 2 weeks or so (time taken to ship it over) will be the longest 2 weeks of ur life.. just worrying and stuff..

i just had mine imported and they stole the gearknob and the radio... not sure what i could do about it.. but apparently not much can be done about it.

Some arsehole stole the TV and radio from my mates GT-R on the boat. Whether you have insurance or not, you can make a claim with the carrier but it would help if you have before and after pix.

hey..

yeah i have before and after pictures but i picked up my car last week... so would it be too late... to claim for insurance???

what do i need to do??? that sux about ur mate i know how he feels.. the bastards left the user manual in for the stereo in my car as well prolly just to rub it in.. at least they took it out neatly without breaking anything...

Hey how did ur mate go? did he get all his stuff back??? what did he do??? i want to claim mine now but i got told not to bother....

its depressing when you look at ur new car and think hell yeah.. then u look at the big hole where the stezza used to be and its damn depressing.... let me know how ur mate goes.. be good to hear that someone got their stuff back...

is it too late for me to claim?

He bought it thru Geoff Risbey. He contacted the shipping company and they are 'assessing' it. He will probably get a compensation cheque - not much, but better than nothing.
