Two small topics only for today.

Number one is regarding Ramadan. As you will need an export certificate from the chamber of commerce to get your personal effects shipped out of Qatar, try to get it before Ramadan. The forwarder I am using handed over the paperwork a week ago, but up to date he did not receive anything back from the chamber of commerce. And the export insurance for the car is running out in a few days. A renewal would be another QAR 160. I guess that the chamber of commerce will not re-imburse you even if they are the ones to slow down the process.

Number two is regarding the insurance of the car during shipment. If you request an offer, most companies will give you a quotation for total loss only, where the fee to pay is around QAR 800 for a car worth QAR 100,000. But as I wrote: total loss only.
Now more likely is that the car is getting scratched or damaged slightly when packing or unpacking it inside the container. Also there's an insurance covering it. Almost. Exclusion number one is that all damages below QAR 1500 are not covered. Exclusion two is that minor scratches and dents are not covered. So what's the point then?
