The hazards associated with traveling can be costly. Personal belongings and even company property could get lost or damaged, trip cancellation can result in additional expenses and medical expenses can quickly mount up when a company staff is injured or falls seriously ill overseas.

Professional Photography & Filming work are NOT covered by most travel insurance...
Travel insurance is a low-cost way of getting the necessary protection. Nonetheless, with so many products in the market, it is important that one chooses a suitable plan. Most off-the-rack travel insurance plans cater to leisure trips. Hence, it is not surprising to find professional photography or filming work in the “Exclusion List” of these policies.

Does travel insurance covers damage to equipment?
​
Though travel insurance protects personal belongings such as cameras and laptops, the claim limit for such items is very low and is unlikely to be sufficient for your equipment. To find out more about insurance coverage for equipment, please visit our Equipment page or Drone page.
