Cargo Insurance Center
is provided by P.A.F Insurance Services LLC, a division (dba)
owned by Pacific Atlantic Freight
LLC. We are a fully licensed: Freight Broker, Freight Forwarder
and Insurance broker, originally established in 1984
in Los Angeles California. We specialize in domestic and
international freight/cargo
shipping services including cargo insurance and other
transportation related lines of insurance.
Being a
cargo shipping company also, we understand first hand the need to protect your
valuable cargo shipments against damage or loss while in
transit. Even the top leading freight shipping, cargo carriers and moving companies only provide the minimum
legal liability cargo insurance coverage of $0.60 per pound. For example, If your shipment is worth $5,000 but it only weighs
500 lbs, in the event of a loss you would only receive $300, no
matter what the actual loss value was. That's not sufficient and many find this out the hard way.
We established our Cargo Insurance division to provide our
clients with peace of mind by offering the much needed service
of primary
cargo insurance coverage based on the actual full value of the
goods (not weight) and on a custom per shipment basis. Through
our specialized freight forwarder cargo policies and access to
top A rated insurers, we are able to
issue customized insurance certificates for each shipment to
properly protect your goods during transit or if you are a
frequent shipper, we can provide you with your own policy for
annual coverage. You can choose from
total loss, to the broadest all risk coverage depending on what
you are concerned with occurring during transit and how well
your goods are packaged.
The cargo insurance
coverage we offer is provided and
underwritten direct from leading
A rated insurance companies, so that we can provide you with
full comprehensive primary cargo insurance coverage options not
provided by the freight carriers. This coverage is in excess to
the limited liability of the freight carriers and is primary in
the event of a loss. The insurer is rated "AA"
by the leading independent, third party financial analysis
companies such as AM Best, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, as a
result of their excellent financial strength ratings and claims payment history.
Most importantly, because we are also
a freight company,
in addition to being
an insurance broker and cargo shipper's insurance agent, we have access to this special type
of cargo insurance designed specifically for freight forwarders,
freight brokers & cargo logistics providers. Therefore, we are able to
acquire discounted rates direct from the insurer, based on our
shipping
volume, allowing us to
arrange coverage on your behalf usually at lower rates than sole insurance agencies or brokers.
We are happy to be able to
arrange & place coverage immediately upon approval and issue you your own
custom cargo insurance certificate/policy to print right from
your computer. Our easy online quote form takes just a few minutes to fill out. Get an
