CG&B handle a lot of people here in Toronto http://www.cgbgroup.com/business_insurance/media.html. You can talk to Judi Heron. They know our industry.

I second CG&B. Been dealing with them since the beginning. I've never had a claim myself, but several people that rent from us had incidents with their insurance also under CG&B. Super quick, friendly, and relatively cheap.

Hi Guys, can you please discuss what you find here. It's a help full thread, and I'd hate to miss something valuable. When you say CG&B is cheap, what is cheap? I have a policy with them and would second Judi Heron being easy to work with, but the policy is freakin expensive compared to the USA, also they made me take out a liability policy on my camera which is NUTS (considering I shoot wildlife in Africa) and expensive. My policy was around $2000. I'd love to find a much better option.

The guys in the states have posted about a company called insuremyequipment.com and they pay about 500$

Actually I said "relatively cheap" :) Like my first follow focus for $600 was relatively cheap in comparison to say...my FF4. My policy offers world coverage at no additional cost, you just have to let them know you're going overseas beforehand. For mine it's $4500/year, but we're a production house first, rental house second (note our policy does not cover renting to 3rd parties). So we tend to have a lot more gear than your typical owner/operator. I've dealt with Louise for the better part of a decade and I'm always happy with her work.

Since you shoot all around the world, pay careful attention to the small print. Your policy will probably require specific add-ons when you shoot in the U.K. etc.

Cheers.

I third, fourth, whatever - Judi Heron at CG&B. They know their stuff and respect our industry.
