Jono Bolton Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm thinking about getting my gear covered against theft, breakdown etc. and I want to know what my options are. I'm currently looking at the Musicguard website and for the total amount of my gear (£1200-ish) I'm looking at £6.59 a month via Direct Debit, or £70 in one go. Clearly at that price it's pretty much a no-brainer, and that's including my gear being covered away from the 'insured location' (my house), in-vehicle and breakdown cover. Does anyone else use Musicguard, or what alternatives are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I use Musicguard. It costs a bliddy fortune, but... I try to only think of the benefits..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viajero Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I get my cover for my basses from Endsleigh, a UK policy which I extend to conver Europe when I need it. Covers theft from a locked car etc etc, all for about 20 quid a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that won't suit everyone, but it's a cheap option for those it does suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestar Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Musicguard. Don't forget to get the public liability if your gear is on the house insurance and you're out and about gigging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
