• Total Loss is declared if the repairs are equal to or higher than the DRV.

What is not covered by Premium Insurance?

• Cleaning and Contamination charges are not included in the Premium Insurance - cleaning costs are covered by the user.
  
  
• Wear & Tear (W&T + OLD) refers to normal wear & tear of the container unit over its lifetime and its related cost is allocated to the Supplier account or the container unit’s owner account.
  
  

When are insurance costs charged?

The insurance costs are billed on a monthly basis to the User’s wallet.

Premium insurance costs depend on container type. The first 60 days start from the container pickup date. After the 60 complete days have gone by, the insurance is billed daily until the user or the supplier reports the container as empty returned (dropped off) on the leasing deal. You can learn more about the insurance rates here. For further reference, you can also review the complete xChange Container Insurance Policy here.

Upon approval by the insurance surveyor, the damage amounts are processed by xChange. In case both parties are xChange members the revised total estimate is settled through the wallet immediately.

Following, the refund amounts are approved and added to the wallet of the insured party. The total claim amount is usually settled completely with the accepted refund and your xChange DPP.
