Insurance

Our booking team will assist you through insurance requirements. The following points are useful to provide you with an overview:

  • You will need hired in equipment insurance cover to be able to begin your rental.

PROVIDING INSURANCE FROM ELSEWHERE

You may work for a production company who have an existing annual policy already, in which case, send it to us and we will check it over. If you don't have an annual insurance policy, you can get a 'one off' cost effective cover for your shoot, which is quick and easy to get. We recommend 'Performance Film & Media Insurance - Aston Lark'.

Remember, it's 'hired in equipment cover' we are looking for, anything else such as public and employer liability, producers indemnity, own contents cover etc is down to your own needs for your production.


3 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN PURCHASING:

We go over numerous policies and are familiar with common mistakes. Here are some useful pointers:

  • The Name And Address On The Policy Should Be The Hirer: Whether you're a company, charity, or individual, the policy must reflect the hirer's details, not a production title, client's name, or another individual's name.
  • Ask Us For The Equipment Valuation: Please don't rely on online sources or guesswork. Reach out to us to get the necessary valuation to ensure you're completely covered.
  • Include Pick-Up And Drop-Off Dates: Insurance coverage should extend throughout the duration the equipment is in your possession, not just during shooting. So the policy should include the start date upon collection (or delivery) and the end date which is when it returns to us.
