Africa-GIT
As a Lloyds Open Market Correspondent we have partnered with Africa-GIT to provide an innovative Goods in Transit solution for the South African Market. We are very excited about this partnership as we see it adding massive value to our market as well as our product offering.
Who is Africa-GIT:
A consortium of Industry professionals with over 50 years GIT (Goods in Transit) experience in Africa. We bring together our local knowledge across the continent with leading global insurance capacity (including Lloyd’s of London).
We provide high value GIT coverage, leading terms at cost effective premiums, underwritten locally by our domestic insurance partners across the continent but 100% reinsured internationally.
What they do:
Many companies when transporting their goods from Point A to Point B frequently make the mistake of believing that their goods are insured by their chosen transporter.
More often than not this is not the case. Transporters will normally cover their own needs and even when they say they have goods covered it is usually insufficient to cover any likely losses.
If goods are lost in a hijack, traffic accident, fire, flood or any other disaster without a dedicated GIT policy these goods may not be properly or fully insured. This is where we come in.
How do they work?
Africa-GIT has partnered with a number of leading insurers across Africa to provide local policies backed by internationally renowned insurance companies. Queries can be submitted via our website or direct to our partners.
The map below shows where we operate and the local contact details of our domestic insurers which offer our policies. We aim to respond to all requests for a quotation within 48 hours either via our partners or direct. We also welcome portfolio transfer opportunities.
