Insuring my Canon 300mm (1 Viewer)

[Black_lab]

Iam also with Glover & Howe and have been for 3 years now like others here being covered in the car is a must and my house insurance would'nt cover my gear for the amount i wanted (£8000) and it has to be specified.

Just looked at the Glover & Howe policy, its got a £6500 limit on theft from your car ! A 500mm & a Pro body would be above that figure.

I'll stick in another vote for cover under your house insurance, make sure its covered for accidental damage too.

I think the reason specific insurance is more expensive is your (usually) getting cover for kit hire until your claim is sorted out either by repairs or replacement. You wont get that with house contents cover.

Hi, is there any insurance companies that will cover for mechanical/electrical breakdown, you see the rest (accidental damage etc) will be covered on my house insurance..

Thats more like an extended warranty, the dealer selling you the lens may offer that.

Glover&Howe will cover up to£8000 in a car but you have to ask
