However, if you are shipping a car overseas, car insurance is optional at cost of 1% of the car value in cases of the cargo gets smashed or drowned.
shipping a car overseas is usually seen as a safe and reliable way of transportation. Of the 120 million containers transported every year, only 10,000 are estimated to be lost on the way. While that is indeed a small ration with the overall volume, Would you like to be stuck with the bill if your container falls overboard?
