Insurance is not included in the price of transport. If you want to insure your consignment, you must purchase the insurance directly from the insurance company (separate cargo insurance). If you package your parcel with care, it is unlikely that it will be damaged in transit. As far as compensation is concerned, Matkahuolto is governed by the Road Transport Contracts Act, which defines the carrier’s liability and, among other things, the maximum amounts of compensation. In case of damage, the statutory compensation rate is €20 per kilogram.

Read and follow the packaging instructions with care.
