My photo equipment is all insured for replacement value, but with a £50 excess.
Can you not insure your equipment for replacement value? Or are you merely
being careful to protect a favoured piece of equipment? I *think* that I
know the feeling, but I don't have anything as valuable as a ...Ti! ;-)
I had some problems with Insurance in the US (for cars) when I was there in
88-90. They would not accept my insurance history from the UK and Germany,
so they (State Farm in Florida) put me on some tiny indemnity ($10/10/30k I
think it was) for 6 months until I had a US history. Then they put me on
the proper indemnity of 100/100/300!! ... in the UK and Germany the
personal liability is unilimited! Is it the same with other insurance
policies?
Regards
Chris
