How much does Electronic Equipment insurance cost? 

Electronic Equipment insurance costs can vary based on the cover options chosen, level of cover and other factors. Every business is unique, and so is the type and cost of its policy.

Get cover that works with the risks of your business

You can select different levels of cover.

This is the most you will be paid out if you need to make a claim. Choosing different cover levels may impact the cost of your policy.

Underinsurance

We know it’s tempting to select a lower level of cover to reduce premiums, but this can leave businesses shocked and insufficiently covered when making a claim.

Ways underinsurance catches business owners out:

Inflation

With inflation, the cost of living and doing business increases. Remember to cover you, your tools and assets for the rising costs of replacing or covering them, not what you paid for them – you may be surprised at the difference.

Not covering the full cost of your risks

If you select cover levels for less than the value you may be found liable – left out of pocket when it comes to claims time. It’s important to review your risks and determine how much you will need to cover any claim that may come your way.
