UK pros: Who insures your gear?

[StewartR]

I'm mulling over the possibility of starting a lens rental business in the UK (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=353608). Obviously insurance is something I'd need to budget for. I'd be grateful if UK-based POTN members could let me know:
- who insures their equipment
- what does it cost (per £1000 or whatever)
- what you think of the company.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Photoguard, but the value depends on the amount largly on how much you cover. But mine is around £40 per £1000 insured, however, this is a standard policy, you may may a totally different business insurance. Speak to a broker or the companies directly.

I've never had an problems with Photoguard but at the end of the day they are an insurance company :rolleyes:

Was with photoguard but now with photoshield, changed as I needed indemnity, liability and gear insurance all as one poilcy where as photoguard now has sister company called indemnityguard you have to go through. Overall I would say photoshields policies seem more professional of the two.
