It’s a common assumption that if you’ve got Home & Contents cover then you’ve got cover for your equipment.

This may not be the case if your Home & Contents policy is likely to have restrictions on limits and locations outside of the home and might even exclude damage to your equipment if you’re using it to earn an income. The venue you’re using may not likely have an insurance policy that will help you out either.

Did you know? You can also get insurance for equipment that you hire.

Ask yourself, does the insurance protect you from:

  • Accidental damage & theft
  • World-wide cover (includes in transit and storage)
  • Emergency Hire Cost – Up to 25% of your sum insured can be used for emergency hire costs
  • Hired/Borrowed equipment cover – Cover for when your hire gear
  • Does it include a low excess?
  • What other benefits does it offer?

This insurance policy can be ideal for the aspiring artist just starting out, or for a band who travels the world!
