Transport insurance is a type of insurance that protects transport companies against claims arising from damage to their customers' property during transport. It covers loss of or damage to property, as well as claims arising from accidents involving third parties during transportation.

If such a claim is made against an insured transport company, the insurance covers the legal costs and indemnities for which the transport company is held liable by law. This coverage is often required by contracts of carriage, and can help protect transport companies against the significant financial costs that can arise from liability claims.
