Camera insurance for residents of Ireland

[gorka_ibanez]

Hi!

I am planing to go travelling around Asia and Australasia for the

next two years and I am looking for some kind of insurance for my

photography acquitment. I found a few companies catering the U.K.

but they don't offer their service to the residents of the Republic

of Ireland. Anybody knows where can I get one?

Thanks

Hi there Gorka,

 

I've been looking for this info too, but no-one I ask in Cork seems any the wiser. I will be speaking to a couple of professionals today or tomorrow hopefully and I'll ask them what they do. But I have a feeling it is different for pros since it is thier livelihood, and the equipment is expensive.

 

Hope somebody else has an idea

 

Good luck, GEAROID

After the results of the latest election I'm wondering if you'll be able to buy ANY KIND of insurance in Ireland!

Hi again Gorka, the people I asked have their equipment insured under a business policy since it is their job.

 

I have also contacted a few insurance brokers and they are looking into it for me. I'll know sometihng more tomorrow. I got the impression that the only way they knew of is to have the equipment listed under a household policy under all risks. For costly individual items it requires giving them an itemised list and approx evaluation.

 

No-one seemed to know of a way to insure my personal camera equipment seperately (since it is only a hobby).

 

Hopefully I'll have more answers tomorrow.

 

All the best, G
