Video Camera Equipment Rental Insurance

What is video camera equipment rental insurance?

Renting video camera equipment is an affordable way to use expensive gear, but the rental can quickly become expensive if something happens to the gear. Videographers may be financially liable should their rented equipment be damaged or stolen. To help protect against such a risk, videographers can get video camera equipment rental insurance. 

Video camera equipment rental insurance is specialized coverage for videographers who rent gear. The insurance typically covers gear against several potential causes of damage or loss.

Who should consider video camera gear rental insurance?

Video camera gear rental insurance might help anyone who rents videography gear. Professional videographers, marketing firms, hobbyists and film students all can get a policy.

New and smaller independent videographers may need coverage for any project they undertake, as they sometimes rent all of their equipment rather than buy it. Hobbyists may purchase coverage if renting gear for a single project too, and students occasionally need to rent equipment that their school doesn’t have.

More established businesses in videography usually have their own equipment. They might rent equipment temporarily if theirs malfunctions, though, or for a more specialized shoot. 

In all of these cases, video camera gear rental insurance should be considered anytime equipment is being rented.
