Gear insurance

Prophet · 29 Dec 2014 at 11:44

I've just took the plunge and bought a 5D Mk3 which has considerably increased the cost of my photography gear. I'm looking for good value for money insurance to cover everything.

Who do you use?

Home insurance often covers it and is cost effective.

But first you need to take out home insurance

Home insurance - by far the most cost-effective method for my wife and I.

Will be interesting to see what other pay, to see if I am getting a good deal or not! Been with Glover & Howe for a few years now £10,000 kit / 2m PL / 75k PI - last year it cost £325.

I'm with Imaging Insurance. I found house insurance came out much the same once you add items worth many k, and I would think a dedicated "designed-for" policy should be better than a one-size-fits-all.

Midlville, mine is slightly less than that, but with more kit but no professional indemnity etc.

Home insurance and if you are in a share house you could get contents insurance. Just make sure that the home or contents insurance covers enough when out of the house as some insurers will pay different amounts for if it is stolen in the house or out the house
