FAQs

Freight or cargo shipping insurance protects the value of your goods while in transit against loss, theft, or damage. Whether you’re shipping domestically or internationally, our coverage ensures peace of mind that your cargo is financially protected.

Standard carrier liability is often limited and may not fully cover the value of your shipment. Purchasing cargo insurance offers full-value protection so you’re not left out-of-pocket in the event of unexpected damage or loss.

 
We offer insurance for a wide range of freight shipments, including:
  • Full Truckload (FTL)
  • Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
  • Intermodal (rail + truck)
  • International ocean and air freight
  • High-value or fragile goods
If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll assess your eligibility for coverage.
The cost depends on several factors including:
  • Declared value of the shipment
  • Type of cargo
  • Mode of transport (rail, truck, ocean, or air)
  • Destination and origin
  • Risk level associated with the cargo
We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees.
Our policies typically cover:
  • Loss or theft during transit
  • Physical damage due to handling or accidents
  • Natural disasters affecting transit (with some exceptions)
  • Loading/unloading incidents (in most cases)
Please review your specific policy for detailed terms, conditions, and exclusions.
Common exclusions may include:
  • Improper packaging
  • Pre-existing damage
  • Delays not resulting in loss or damage
  • War, strikes, or government action (unless specifically included)
  • Unauthorized shipments (e.g., restricted or prohibited goods)
Always ensure your shipment complies with shipping and insurance guidelines.
Filing a claim is easy:
  1. Notify RailGateway as soon as possible.
  2. Provide supporting documents: bill of lading, photos of packaging and damage, commercial invoice, and proof of value.
  3. Submit the claim within the timeframe outlined in your policy (usually within 30 days of delivery or expected delivery).
Our team is here to assist you through the process.

No, you can choose to insure shipments individually or set up a blanket policy for ongoing protection across all shipments. We’ll work with you to find the most cost-effective and protective solution for your business.

  • Competitive rates
  • Full-value coverage
  • Fast and easy claims process
  • Dedicated support
  • Custom options for high-value, fragile, or time-sensitive cargo
  • One-stop-shop for intermodal logistics + insurance
