Beyond the “All-Risks” Illusion: Why War Cover is the New Standard for Kenya Imports

In the logistics landscape of 2026, the term “All-Risks” has become a dangerous misnomer.

For years, the Institute Cargo Clauses (A)—commonly known as ICC-A—have been the gold standard for marine insurance. But for organizations moving high-value assets through increasingly volatile trade corridors, there is a hidden asterisk in the fine print: Standard ICC-A excludes war, strikes, and civil commotion.

At Cars Kenya, we believe that in a world of shifting geopolitical tides, “standard” is no longer enough. Through our strategic partnership with Geminia Insurance, we are closing the gap with integrated ICC-A + War Cover.

The Gap in Your Protection

Most importers assume that an “All-Risks” policy covers any physical loss. However, should your vehicle or medical logistics unit be caught in a port strike, a period of civil unrest, or a regional conflict, a standard policy will remain silent.

Our enhanced coverage ensures that your mandate—whether humanitarian, diplomatic, or corporate—is protected against:

Hostilities: War, civil war, revolution, or rebellion.

Civil Unrest: Strikes, lockouts, and malicious damage.

Political Risk: Capture, seizure, or arrest arising from these events.

Why the “Cars Kenya” Model is Different

We aren’t just an import agent; we are a risk-management partner. Our framework is built on three pillars of institutional-grade reliability:

IRA-Registered Expertise: As a licensed insurance agency, we don’t outsource your risk. Our professionals structure your coverage to meet stringent international procurement standards.

ISO 9001:2015 Certification: Our entire import process—from sourcing to final delivery—is audited for quality management. This ensures that your documentation is as flawless as your vehicle’s condition.

The Geminia Partnership: By pairing our logistical precision with Geminia’s underwriting depth, we provide the capacity to cover high-value exposures in the most complex environments.

Who Needs This Level of Certainty?

Diplomatic Missions: Ensuring armored assets arrive without being sidelined by political volatility.

Humanitarian Organizations: Protecting life-saving logistics units in fragile corridors.

Corporate Fleets: Safeguarding capital investments against unpredictable trade disruptions.

“In 2026, hoping for a smooth transit is not a strategy. Insuring against the ‘unlikely’ is the only way to ensure the mission continues.”

Close the Gap Today

Don’t leave your assets exposed to the one risk that standard policies refuse to touch. Whether you are managing a fleet of one or one hundred, Cars Kenya delivers the intersection of logistical excellence and sophisticated risk transfer.
