You can check how much your multimedia equipment should be insured for by finding the price of the equivalent model on the market today. Because we replace your items on a new for old basis, the price for the latest equivalent version of your equipment is a good place to start when deciding new for old values for insurance. Don’t forget, if you are VAT-registered you can deduct this from your value.
If you are hiring equipment the hire house will usually provide an insurance value they require you to insure the kit for.
You will need to tell us where you are working geographically to make sure we can cover your production. We are able to provide a worldwide extension to cover the full production for all your equipment and liabilities.
We can tailor-make you a policy which includes the right levels of all types of public and employer's liability insurance protection.
If you prefer to spread the cost of your annual premium, we offer a quick and easy Direct Debit scheme.
When you choose to pay premiums in instalments, you will be paying under a Premium Finance plan. We will give you full details of the finance provider, and the additional cost of finance, when we provide you with your payment plan quotation. This will include the total payable, the number of monthly instalments and the cost of each, as well as the representative APR.
