Camera & Camcorder Kit Insurance

We want you to enjoy using your new camera or camcorder for years to come. Your manufacturer’s product guarantee provides cover for mechanical and electrical breakdown but will be limited to a year and may not cover parts or breakdown through mishap.

One of the best ways of protecting your camera or camcorder now and in the future is with a Kit Insurance; providing peace of mind should the worst ever happen.

Alternatively, if your camera or camcorder costs less than €150 you can purchase Instant Replacement. To find out more click here .

Key benefits:

  • Protection against breakdown or mishap
  • We’ll fix or replace with new
  • 24/7 freephone help & advice
  • Worldwide protection

Ask yourself these few simple questions:

  • Will you take your camera out and about and abroad often?

  • Do you agree the cost to fix or replace a camera is expensive?

  • Will you be using your camera in all kinds of environments?

  • If required, would you want an experienced engineer to fix your camera?

If your answer is yes to any of the above, don't leave things to chance. Kit Insurance will give you the assurance you need should anything go wrong.

See the table below for the key benefits of the plan.
