UK - anyone recommend a photo insurer?

02/27/2006 02:47:54 PM · #1

I did a quick search but couldn't find anything here.

After a few words with my household contents insurer today I'm thinking of going with a photographer insurance company. I'm about to google UK companies but hearing who others use can only help.

Any help, advice gratefully received.

Took a bit of digging even though I knew it was there!...

Actually I wouldn't mind opening up a new thread here about this... I'm shopping around for professional insurance now, anyone have any experience in the UK?

In the end I went back to my home contents insurers, I currently have Â£20k of home contents insurance with Â£4k 'off property' insurance (and Â£500 of plant/bonsai insurance). All of which has accidental damage coverage (not the plants of course).

Today I added 3 itemised bits for 'on/off' property coverage, the 1DMKIIn, 10-400L IS ISM and 70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM (Â£4679), these three items cost an additional Â£42pa to insure with a Â£50 excess. I'm pretty pleased with that :)
