Hi Folks,

Can any of you recommend a good insurance company (in the UK) who insure camera equipment?

I have recently upgraded some of my kit and I would like to make sure that it is sufficiently covered. (I have checked my home & contents insurance and it does offer enough cover).

Many thanks

Rich.

Make sure you have a good contents insurance which coveres for accidental damage and loss or theft outside your home or abroad for personal belongings. I am with Direct Line but there are loads of companies to cover you for home contents

have you tried getting cover just for your camera? some companies are reasonably and for a few pounds a month you would have some good cover..

Entertainment & Leisure will do it but beware the excess.......its usually a percentage of the sum insured with a minimum figure - which is often more than a usual home contents policy (i'm an insurance broker btw.....) - but it could be worth checking out.

As for the single item limit on your existing policy - most stuff we deal with these days is 1500. Spose it depends on the exact kit you've got but as a single item - that should be enough? My 10D comes in at under that......if u include the lens the it tips over.....but thats 2 items.....not 1! As for accidental damage cover - if you've got "personal possessions" cover - accidental damage cover comes with it.
