terminal
I am translating a one page automobile insurance form from French (Canada) to English.
I am not sure how to translate "terminal" in this context.
And, here is that context:
ASSURANCE DES MARCHANDISES EN COURS DE TRANSPORT – FORMULE STANDARD
Montant de garantie : 500,000 $
Montant catastrophique : 500,000 $
Montant par terminal : 500,000 $ Franchise : 10,000 $
Thanks for any help!

Non-PRO (2): Nikki Scott-Despaigne, Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: or "terminal" alon. In context it would no doubt suffice in EN as it does in FR.

: the word is the same in English and French but your explanation is dodgy and your link doesn't work. But you were first as someone likes to say

Discussion
Does the insurer specialise in any particular type of insurance or are there any other clues?
This sounds more like commercial haulage cover than an automobile policy.
