  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Canadian Insurance

Hey Rob, thanks your mail box is full... could you email me at rory"at"minefilms"dot"com

Cheers

I second CG&B. Been dealing with them since the beginning. I've never had a claim myself, but several people that rent from us had incidents with their insurance also under CG&B. Super quick, friendly, and relatively cheap.
 
Since you shoot all around the world, pay careful attention to the small print. Your policy will probably require specific add-ons when you shoot in the U.K. etc.

Cheers.

Hi Guys, can you please discuss what you find here. It's a help full thread, and I'd hate to miss something valuable. When you say CG&B is cheap, what is cheap? I have a policy with them and would second Judi Heron being easy to work with, but the policy is freakin expensive compared to the USA, also they made me take out a liability policy on my camera which is NUTS (considering I shoot wildlife in Africa) and expensive. My policy was around $2000. I'd love to find a much better option.

The guys in the states have posted about a company called insuremyequipment.com and they pay about 500$
 
I am currently insured through CG&B with Louise. My yearly coverage is under $2000 and I couldn't find anything in Canada in that price range. And it is a big bonus they know the industry and not just selling insurance on "x" value amount of electronics. I would recommend looking into them

Actually I said "relatively cheap" :) Like my first follow focus for $600 was relatively cheap in comparison to say...my FF4. My policy offers world coverage at no additional cost, you just have to let them know you're going overseas beforehand. For mine it's $4500/year, but we're a production house first, rental house second (note our policy does not cover renting to 3rd parties). So we tend to have a lot more gear than your typical owner/operator. I've dealt with Louise for the better part of a decade and I'm always happy with her work.
