what are you paying for tool insurance

[gibbon]

Ho much do you pay to insure tools against theft? Need insurance on 2 chippers, 1 grinder, saws, etc. Been quoted nearly 900 which seems quite a lot. What do other people pay and who with?

[Wolfie]

I was quoted about £650 from Trust last year. That was for about £20k of cover. Market value for Chipper and new for old on chainsaws. I thought that was a little steep but will have to look into getting cover again with all these posts of thefts.

[Mark Bolam]

You will save a lot if you lump it all in with your PL and EL insurance.

[arbwork]

Usually about 10% of value seems to be the going rate can depend on what and where you want the cover, care most company’s only insure when tools are in a secure place:sneaky2:

i think you get what you pay for,i pay 600 quid a year which seemed a lot until all my saws and hedge trimmers were stolen last Wednesday night, the replacements arrived yesterday and i was back to work today i cant recommend clear insurers(formerly bryant kesek) enough and the underwriters Zurich were great to
