Our opinion on the DHL insurance
DHL offers insurance at a very high cost : between 1 and 5% of the insured value with a minimum of €12 for insurance taken out in France.
DHL being a very large company, their insurance terms are not the same everywhere. For example, you will pay 5% from the UK and only 1% in France. Excluded goods are also different and you may need to check their full terms and conditions each time you need to insure with them.
Why choose Secursus
Secursus offers a unique insurance at the lowest possible price: 0.7% of the insured value, with a €1,5 minimum per parcel.
Our exclusion list is very small, we currently cover 99% of items sold online, including risky products such as watches, high-tech or jewellery. Our maximum coverage goes up to €100,000 per package and our rate is fixed for everyone.
