insurance - HEEEELLPP!!

hi all,

i need to organise some insurance for my underwater equipment, but i'm a bit at a loss as to what to do because i spend so much time out of the UK. i used to rely on contents insurance from my house, but as that is now rented out i can't do that.

does anyone know of any reasonably priced insurers that will cover for long periods outside the UK?

any help appreciated.

Hi Mark,

I have just rung my insurance company which is Glover & Howe and they do not cover residents outside the UK, so that is one you can cross off the list.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi Mark

I use a specialist insurer to insure my camera gear

They're quite reasonable and provide cover for overseas trips too

I'm with www.photoguard.co.uk, its online but read the fine print for coverage.

Have you tried phoning BSAC and asking?

I use E&L (Equine and Livestock ) who are very reasonably priced and have an all risks, international cover policy available.

The excess is quite high, but thankfully I've not yet had to make a claim so can't tell you whether they are good in paying up

Just my two pence worth - I had major (read expensive) problems with E&L over an international claim. It was only because of the very strong guidance I gained from this site (thanks Richard) that I recovered anything at all.
Your milage may vary of course.

Just - 'Don't use Equine and Livestock'. Ok 'til you make a claim....
