Insurance on the household: how it works
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Is it compulsory? | No, optional |
| How is it calculated? | A percentage of the value you declare on the list |
| On what basis? | A numbered list with each valuable pieceโs value and photo before loading |
| When is a remark recorded? | At delivery, on the report, before signing |
| What is usually not covered | Items packed by the customer, pre-existing defects, cash and jewellery |
๐ก When is insurance advisable?
For valuable pieces: fine furniture, antiques, expensive appliances and the car. And for anyone moving a whole home in a shared truck.
Temporary storage in a secured warehouse
Many people moving hand over the Riyadh home before they receive the one in the UAE. In that case the household is stored between the two dates: packed as if for shipping, raised on pallets, entered on a signed list and then loaded on the day you set.
- The warehouse: enclosed and secured.
- Charging: by time and volume.
- Release: against the same list it was stored under.
The stages of a move from Riyadh
- Survey: at your Riyadh home, measuring large pieces and the lift.
- Price and date: itemised, with loading and delivery dates.
- Dismantling: a carpenter takes apart bedrooms, wardrobes and the kitchen.
- Packing: blankets and film for wood, bubble wrap and corrugated card for glass.
- Loading and sealing: in half a day to a day.
- The road: Al Kharj, Haradh, Al Batha, Al Ghuwaifat.
- Assembly: at your UAE home, with the list checked.
A crane for upper floors in Riyadh
Riyadhโs older blocks have small lifts, and some villas reach the upper floor by a narrow stair. Large sofas, tall wardrobes and heavy bedroom sets are lowered by crane from a balcony or window. The pieces are identified at the survey, and the crane is counted in the price from the start.
Moving the car with the household
The car ships in the same order: from SAR 1,090 on a shared carrier in 2โ4 days, and from SAR 2,275 on a dedicated enclosed carrier. It is handed over empty with a quarter tank, along with the registration and export plates.
Air freight for what goes ahead of the household
Anyone travelling ahead of the household sends a suitcase or a box by air from King Khalid airport: from SAR 45 per kg, arriving in 24โ48 hours.
Documents and customs
- Documents: ID or Iqama, packing list, the Fasah authorisation, and a UAE residence permit or tenancy contract if requested.
- Exemption: used effects for someone relocating are usually exempt.
- New items: listed separately, at 5% of value.
