Film Equipment Insurance....

Hi,

We have a shoot for a s-16mm short coming up in April 2004. We have public liability, etc,etc, but are getting some equipment VFG and need to take out an insurance policy to cover the hired equipment (£300,000 + 13 weeks loss of hire).

Can anyone please recoomened some UK based insurance companies for this line of work. We are shopping around for quotes at the moment.

Thanks y'all.

For 13 weeks, you're probably best getting an annual policy. Sorry, I don't know UK companies. Call 1 - 918 289 - 7927 in the US, and they may be able to help.
 
Ah, yes my colleague delta1010 was talking about loss of hire cover which means that if we were to claim we have to cover the equipment plus the costs the hire company would be loosing while the equipment is not being replaced... for example if we broke a camera, it would take them 10 weeks to replace it, so we would have to claim on insurance to cover their losses for not being able to hire out the camera for 10 weeks.

We're not looking for 13 weeks cover... we're looking for cover for the equipment we're looking for 9 days cover.

All very radical.
 
Yes...

Cheers Nathan,

It is 13 weeks loss of hire, but thank you for your reply Mr. Indie Talk!

Basically the cover would be as follows:
9 Days Cover @
£200,000 (not £300,000 now) replacement value for equipment
+ 13 weeks loss of hire.

Any decent UK companies anyone? Thanks y'all.
