Matson's Liability for Your Automobile We will make every effort to safeguard your automobile from damage. However, because unforeseen circumstances sometimes occur, we offer limited protection while your automobile is in our possession. If Matson is responsible for damage to your auto, our liability is limited to the amount of damage actually sustained to your automobile, not to exceed the market value of your automobile and, in no event, more than $1,000 per 40 cubic feet based on the size of your automobile (for the average-sized vehicle, this is approximately $8,000). This liability limit can be increased up to the full value of your automobile by declaring the value on your Dock Receipt and paying the appropriate additional freight rate. We do not provide any form of insurance. You should verify your personal marine insurance coverage for transportation damage and any other related insurance protection with your insurance carrier. 2004 Matson Inc., . | Matson Home • Terms & Conditions Household Goods - Matson Navigation Company Welcome Rate Tracking News Contact Us Matson Household Goods Shipment Calculator Determining your rate to/from Hawaii and or Guam has never been easier to calculate!
