LIST UPDATED: February 2013.

Like most of my work on REDUSER.NET, idea's like this one start from my own need to find reliable and affordable insurance. Feel free to discuss your experiences openly here. The good, the bad, the ugly. The included in the list are companies that at least one REDUSER has recommended, with my notes attached. Enjoy.

Users, please leave comments and shine the light on these companies, the good, the bad, the ugly. I'll continue to update the list from time to time.

I'm trying to find an insurance company that covers equipment failure as I have read on another thread that this is possible with some insurance companies.

Please could anyone who has this coverage post their insurance company details as I'd like to look into it for my cameras.

Rory,

I just sent an email to my rep. When I know i'll let you know.
 
Will,

www.buymyinsurancenow.com, as well www.insuremyequipment.com, www.insuremyrentals.com, www.Insuremyliabilityonline.com are websites from the same company: The internet business division of Heffernan Insurance Brokers www.heffins.com

Heffernan is NOT an insurance company, the actual insurance company you will be dealing with your claims is One Beacon Insurance Company (One Beacon Entertainment) http://www.ebi-ins.com/e/PortfolioDetail.aspx

Please ammend your list since some Redusers will get confused.
Thanks,
 
When I was actively doing production the one company that came through for me was Insurance West, the Rep was Ross Garner and when everyone else was ignoring my call he came to the OC from Simi Valley and took care of my needs. 805-579-1900

A lot of these companies don't care about independent producers and don't even bother to call you back. I don't know if Ross is still there but he is a great rep.
 
Christian, thanks for the heads up. Amended.

Give a call to a local agent in your area and let us know what you find out please. At least one user is using state farm.

Has anyone using this provider had to file a claim? Thats what I would like to know, how well they deal with claims. This seems to be a pretty damn good option.
 
Rory and Robert,

Just heard from my insurance agent. He says that wear and tear are not covered for equipment failure but if the camera were to break, say by dropping it. That would be covered.
 
Thanks Dave
Sounds like a standard accidental damage cover which isn't equipment failure.
I must say this whole warranty and red armor thing is a mess.
 
What company Dave?

Excellent job, thanks for posting. The company I was using before was just so slow, and we're looking into all of these for when our scarlet comes.
