Moving within the US can be a challenging time in a service member’s career. A PCS move to a completely new country or continent is on a whole other level.
Something as simple as automobile or apartment rental insurance takes on added complexities when you are moving overseas.
We’ve broken down the ins and outs of insurance while OCONUS gives you one less thing to worry about with some added peace of mind.
Before You Move
Before the move you are likely to be very busy, getting everything ready both at home and abroad. One of the toughest and most time-consuming tasks is packing up your belongings. These are your prized possessions so, it’s important they are protected every step of the way. Packing them safely can only do so much to protect them – after that you need international insurance.
Just in case the people moving your items are not as careful as you were when packing them, there is home contents insurance with transit coverage, which is a great way to ensure your belongings are covered from your current home to your new home abroad.

Arriving abroad is an exciting time and you will be keen to settle in and explore your new surroundings. You may be eager to unpack and set up your home, in which case you want to ensure you have robust insurance in place to protect your newly arrived belongings.
Local insurance may be available but why search in a new country to find someone when Clements can reliably insure your belongings while overseas.
