:eat:Hi - I looked into this just the other week and the cheapest/best place to get my cameras/lens etc insured was by having a 'all risks away from home' clause (cant remember exactly the phrase that was used) in my HOME (the Pru) contents insurance. I choose to have a limit of £2000 (and only anything over £1000 needs declaring) but I could have gone lower and higher. For £2000 coverage I only pay just over £2.50 per month and this will insure ANY items not just photographic etc.

Yes .... on my home insurance also ... abbey national & Barclays both do 'away from home' cover

Yep. Me too.

Cost of cover was about an additional £20 per year on the annual policy.

I go with a specialist and use Glover and Howe.

I had mine covered on my house insurance which is with Norwich Union. Just as well as I trashed my scope on the Pompey/Bilboa ferry in the autumn and I didnt have any problems with them coughing up 1300 quid for a new one. So I can recommend them.

Golden Valley Insurance specialise in this type of cover so I'm told - not sure how pricey they are though.

Wouldn't recommend Barclays.......having no end of problems with them.....Very poor customer relations.
