For this, I will assume you meant for US domestic travel, since you are probably in the US and travel mainly in the US The answer is $2800 and found on the websites of many airlines, travel agencies, and directly from the government.

Any ideas of what extra insurance may cost per $1,000 worth of coverage for photography equipment on a transatlantic or transpacific flight? I am sure the gear I always carried onboard in a backpack will have to be checked. I have about $15,000 worth of photo equipment I use during my travels. I'd be interested in this - it's been difficult finding a policy to cover photo equipment carried in the hold. |

Lost luggage allowance
I have a separate binder on my equipment that is lost or stolen while under
my control, which costs me $50 a year. This would include equipment stored in my home, my car, even in my hotel room - but not airline baggage. My insurance company told me that the equipment is NOT covered when under the control of the airlines. They are probably wise to the losses created by the industry. rg "S Viemeister" wrote in message ... sharkbait999 wrote: Any ideas of what extra insurance may cost per $1,000 worth of coverage for photography equipment on a transatlantic or transpacific flight?

My insurance company told me that the equipment is NOT covered when under the control of the airlines. They are probably wise to the losses created by the industry. "Statistically", airline losses are pretty minimal, given the number of pax hauled and the value of the potential number/value of claims. Were I you, I'd check with some other insurance carriers. There are a number which write business insurance for equipment such as you describe, and in case of claims, will have you subrogate your rights. If you're carrying that much photo equipment, you should expect that coverage is going to cost more than $50. a year, barely a rider on your homeowner's policy and likely to come with small print clauses which leave you "Katrinad" as the current expression goes.

Lost & Receipts
Now I read they ask for the original receipt of purchase...I hardly ever
keep receipts unless its an item where warranty issues could arise..surely not things like prescription glasses, pills, expensive pills by the way, binoculars, shoes, razors, belts, shirts trousers, etc...who keeps receipts for these items?? |
