Insurance company recomendations?

[squishy]

Me and my parents have recently realised that i have amounted a fair value of equipment which is often all carried in one rucksack, and we are going to insure it.

I (my parents really) would like to know if any wabbers know of a good company for insuring your gear (mine will only be for around the value of £800 though)

Mine's insured along with the house contents. It's listed separately and valued at around £4,500 and the insurers (NFU mutual) added it with no addition to the premium.

Yes, see if you can get all risks on the household insurance.

[Lancashire Lad]

Most household insurers cover personal items whilst away from home as an "add on" to the normal house contents policy. (Look at your existing policy, you will almost certainly see a section for such things - you never know, it might already have been taken up).

Generally speaking, insurers don't require single items to be specified unless they are individually worth more than £1000.00 (in some cases considerably more), so your kit should fall comfortably within the normal terms, if your parents take up that option on their policy.

Regards,
Mike.

Hi Squishy,

I`ve just gone through this myself, and at no extra cost, the main items of my photography equipment ( totalling £17,500-00 ) are covered within my house contents Insurance.

I hope this helps,
