How to Keep Music Insurance Costs Down
The cost of music insurance depends on what you're covering and how much risk you represent to the insurer. To keep premiums affordable, only insure instruments at their current replacement cost, choose an appropriate liability limit for your performance activities, consider higher policy excess in exchange for lower premiums, and bundle equipment and liability cover in a single policy.
Is Cheap Music Insurance Worth It?
The cheapest policy isn't always the best value. A policy that pays out quickly and in full after a claim is worth more than a slightly cheaper policy with exclusions that leave you out of pocket. Look for a specialist entertainment insurer with a strong claims record rather than simply the lowest premium.
What's the Minimum Cover I Need as a Performing Musician?
At a minimum, most performing musicians should consider public liability insurance to meet venue requirements and protect against injury claims. If you have significant instrument or equipment value, equipment insurance should be your next priority.
