What’s Covered
As we tailor each policy to the individual customer by using our panel of insurers rather than just the one insurer, the terms and conditions of cover may differ from customer to customer but in brief:
- Photographic and video making equipment, lighting, processing equipment, laptops and portable devices, computer and electronic office equipment, stock and materials, props, sets and wardrobe and other business property
- Damage to goods in trust and equipment you have hired in
- Costs incurred to hire alternative equipment to fulfil your business commitments if your own kit or hired-in kit is damaged
- For claims arising from damage to third-party property or bodily injury to a member of the public
- For bodily injury, illness, death or disease of any of your employees
For claims arising from negligence such as making a mistake in your work for which you are held legally responsible.
- Legal advice on UK law 24/7
- UK tax advice between 9.00am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday (except bank holidays)
- Counselling assistance 24/7
We can arrange cover to your specification anywhere in the world. By specifying particular equipment and locations, you can keep your premium cost down so you only buy the cover you need.
If you select cover for the EU or UK you will enjoy free cover for up to 60 days anywhere in the world (see terms).
FAQs
Our clients often ask us:
Yes, if the items cannot be repaired. The policy will replace items that are lost, damaged or stolen with brand new items. If we have agreed to insure your items for a second hand replacement however, a claim would cover second hand replacement. Subject to the amount for which you have insured.
Theft and accidental loss of, or damage to, your equipment is covered.
You can extend cover on your equipment whilst away from your premises to any territory worldwide (except where the UK Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel, and specifically excluded countries).

Yes, but it depends upon the type of policy as to the amount of cover and the terms and conditions applicable including cover for items left in your vehicle when you’ve finished working or overnight. We will tell you the extent of cover and the terms applying to this.
