Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some questions commonly asked by clients.
Will this Canon Policy provide cover for camera equipment that is not produced by Canon?
This policy can cover all brands of camera bodies and lenses EXCEPT drones, Go- pros, accessories and any items that cannot be replaced with a Canon branded product.
Do professional photographers need public liability insurance?
Public Liability is an important cover for any business that interacts with members of the public. A client or a member of the public could walk onto a shoot or into your studio and trip, slip, or fall on a piece of your equipment, causing themselves bodily injury and/or damage to their property. Public Liability insurance includes cover for legal liabilities if a member of the public makes a claim that they were injured, or damage was caused to their property because of your business dealings or on your premises.
Am I able to cover equipment that I hire temporarily?
Yes, upon prior notice, we may be able to arrange to add hired equipment onto your policy for an additional premium.
Can I pay my premium on a monthly basis? (Entertainment)
We are able to arrange periodical payment solutions including monthly payment through our premium funding option. This option is not available through our online quoting system, so if you are interested in premium funding, we ask that you please contact our Entertainment team on 1800 806 584 or [email protected]
Is camera equipment covered whilst in use under water?
Underwater use of camera equipment where oxygen tanks are not required, will be covered as long as the appropriate housing/casing is in place. Please note, recreational use of underwater equipment and/or use of oxygen tanks will not be covered under your policy.
When will I receive my certificate of currency?
When you purchase your insurance online you will receive your certificate of currency in minutes to your elected email address. If you purchase your insurance with one of our experienced brokers, the time line may vary.2
