Motor Truck Cargo Insurance is not required for bicycles, motorcycles, and cars; however, it is mandatory for higher vehicle categories such as vans and box trucks. This coverage provides financial protection in the event of damage to or loss of freight. DAGO requires transport partners to maintain a Cargo Policy with a minimum coverage limit of $50,000 per occurrence.
Note! Do not confuse Cargo Insurance with:

Carrier liability insurance covers damage to cargo that occurs during transport. This protects the owner of the goods from financial losses due to damage, loss, or theft. This insurance is especially worthwhile if you are transporting valuable goods with a high risk of loss or damage.
You can use insurance companies such as AXA, Allianz, or Ergo Hestia, or simply search for the appropriate contact in your country using ChatGPT or Google by entering the keyword: Carrier liability insurance [Country] Contact.
Yes, carrier liability insurance and carrier insurance are the same product. The goods are insured for the entire duration of transport. A coverage amount of €50,000 is recommended. This allows you to transport standard commercial goods. In contrast, motor vehicle liability insurance only covers damage to your own and other vehicles, not the goods being transported.
Business liability insurance, on the other hand, covers risks for business owners and protects you against damages caused by employees to third parties or their property in a professional context. This includes personal injury, property damage, or financial losses as a direct result of personal or property damage.
A business registration is required whenever you want to officially and legally carry out self-employed activities. Anyone starting a business must register it with the relevant authority.
To register your business, you need to make an appointment with the relevant trade or regulatory office. You must provide all information relevant to your business. After registration, you will receive a business license, which allows you to work with us.
It is advisable to always carry a blank CMR form with you for such cases. The recipient can fill out and sign the form at the loading point. Blank CMR forms can be ordered online.
Note: If there are no documents at the loading point, you must fill out a CMR form yourself and have it signed by the recipient. This proof is required later for the release of your invoice.
If you foresee a delay, please contact us immediately. Our team will then get in touch with the loading or unloading point to coordinate and ensure a smooth process.
If a shipment is damaged during transport, we expect you to inform us immediately. Document the damage with a photo and send it to [email protected]. A phone call would also be appreciated.
To ensure smooth and timely processing of your invoice, please consider the following information:

If the courier partner’s company is not based in Germany, the reverse charge procedure applies. In this case, the recipient of the service bears the tax liability. Here, DAGO Express GmbH is the recipient of the service, as our transport partners provide a service (the transport of goods) for DAGO Express. Therefore, when invoicing, the courier partner should only invoice the net amount for the transport assignment and should not show any VAT.
Small business owners must not and may not show VAT separately according to § 19 UStG. Only the net amount appears on the invoice.
The proof of delivery, also known as a CMR, confirms that a delivery was made at a specific time to a named recipient. This type of document is often used in logistics and freight management. It documents the delivery status and later the confirmation of proper delivery. Without this documentation, it is impossible for the recipient to determine whether the damage to the goods occurred during pickup or transport. The proof of delivery is often referred to as "POD," which stands for "Proof of Delivery."
No, we require the corresponding proof of delivery for invoicing an assignment.
Yes, you can easily change or edit your vehicle data in your profile under "VEHICLE FLEET."
