We have short-term policies that will provide animal life insurance while in transit which includes driving and flying. This type of coverage would protect you against the financial loss for the established value of your insured animal if it were to die while being transported. Coverage is determined by the classifications below.

1. Single Trip Transit Insurance is available as a separate policy.  This insurance generally goes into effect when the animal is being loaded and coverage terminates when the animal is unloaded at it final destination.

Two types are available:

Depending upon the age of the animal and other criteria, this type of insurance may be purchased for Full Mortality (Illness, Disease and Accidental death) during the transit period.  But Basic Perils may also be chosen which insures for loss caused by specific accidental causes, which include collision, derailment or overturn of certain conveyances, including loading and unloading.

2. International Air Transportation Insurance is applied by endorsement to an animal already insured under a Full Mortality Policy.  This coverage extends insurance to include international air transport of the animal.
