Camera Insurance

[riz]

I just took out insurance for my camera and stuff up to £1000. Cost of £32 for the year inc loss,theft. My travel insurance only goes up to £500 on cameras and my house insurance doesnt cover me abroad.
Thought i would let you guys know. I think its alot more expensive if you make a living from photography. Seems reasonable to me.

If you work as a photographer there is public liability and all other manners of 'extras' to add to a policy which bumps up the price. I am currently with aaduki but will be changing to glover & howe as they do virtually the same as mine but about £100 cheaper.

Iv been looking into camera insurance but have a question, (may be a dumb one)

I believe its a good idea if it get stolen ect but don't understand the accidental damage? say i never had insurance but i smashed my £400 lens could i not just sign up to insurance then claim within a week or so?

As you could with any insurance policy. But that is insurance fraud and illegal.

Dont whatever you do go with E&L. They're f**king terrible.

I used to do it separately but now just do it through my house insurance, £2.5k worth of photography equipment cover (I change my kit a lot but it rarely strays over £2.5k any more) which sorts me out home or abroad, I think it cost somewhere in the region of £12 for a year on top of our usual policy...couldn't argue with that.

Thats what i hate about insurance they should have a feedback page for people that have claimed to write how good they are instead of paying lots of money and them being crap.

You can find lots of people that dislike most companies if you have a search about. Much as you can all car manufactures for example.

Those that are upset complain the loudest. I know lots of people don't recommend photo guard - but I've never had an issue with their service - maybe that will change if i need to make a claim. But i can't fault them up to this point.

100% this. They are awful for paying out and dealing with.
