Prices for both types of insurance with vary widely based on value of insurable items, distance to travel, and weight of total cargo. With so many variables to consider the best rule of thumb is if you have more than 2000 total pounds of items or over 150 miles to travel it will often favor airline cargo insurance. As there are no set prices in the insurance industry, it is worth your time to get several quotes and encourage a bidding war.
