Musical Instrument Insurance Companies: How to Compare

November 20, 2013 • David Hamilton
Musical Instrument Insurance Companies: How to Compare

Musical instrument insurance is available from many companies but only a few provide the coverage that professionals require.

Questions to ask when comparing musical instrument insurance company policies:

  1. Is there a minimum premium? Some companies will charge you a minimum of $500 even if you are only insuring $2,000 worth of instruments.
  2. Is Worldwide Equipment Coverage provided? Most policies from North American Insurance Companies only cover your musical gear in Canada and the USA.
  3. Is Office Contents Coverage included? If you run your music business from home, your computer, printer, etc. may not be covered by your tenants policy.
  4. Are Valuable Papers & Accounts Receivable coverage included? A professional musician should have these coverages so that your records can be recreated.
  5. Is coverage for borrowed Musical Instruments and Musical Equipment included? If this coverage is not in your current policy, it is easily obtained.
  6. Is automatic inflation protection included for musical instruments?
  7. Is  coverage for newly acquired musical instruments and musical equipment included for up to 30-days before you tell your broker?
  8. Is full coverage for Earthquake and Flood included? Your homeowners policy will not cover your professional gear for flood damage and may not include EQ either.
  9. Is lost Business Income / Extra Expense Coverage included? This is good protection for a professional musician.

All of the above is covered when you purchase musical instrument coverage from Front Row Insurance Brokers' online musical instrument insurance program. A quote takes ~10 seconds. A policy can be downloaded in 5 minutes by answering 8 questions.
