WINDSOR, ENGLAND, June 03, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Online insurance specialist www.protectyourbubble.com have announced the launch of a new camera insurance policy, that will offer cover of up to GBP5,000 on camera equipment and lenses.
The move comes in response to demand from their clients, coupled with the recent rise in popularity of quality cameras and semi-professional photography. As www.protectyourbubble.com Director Stephen Ebbett tells us, "With advances in camera technology and the increasing ease of use of high-end cameras, more amateur camera enthusiasts are investing in top end cameras and lenses."
Quality cameras now retail for upwards of GBP4,000 and a serious photographer is likely to carry two or more lenses, meaning that a camera bag - with potential to be dropped, stolen or lost - can easily contain thousands of pounds worth of equipment. www.protectyourbubble.com has redesigned their policy to offer cover up to GBP5,000 on:
- Amateur and semi-professional cameras;
- Specialist camera lenses (individual policies);
- Video cameras and camcorders.
Policies cover accidental damage, theft, breakdown, and - for an extra pound a month - loss. They also provide worldwide cover, and offer one month of free cover when you sign up.
TagBak - a new innovative service in the UK market - is also offered as a complimentary extra with all PYB gadget policies. The system involves numbered tags which are attached to cameras, mobile phones and other gadgets, offering a reward to whoever returns it to the user via the TagBak system. The company's research has shown that 88% of people would return something they found, provided it didn't cost them anything, and the TagBak system has already helped recover many items thanks to the honesty and goodwill of UK citizens.
This element of goodwill is backed up by Ebbett: "It's our sincere hope that the new Camera Insurance offering will help consumers enjoy their cameras safe in the knowledge that if the camera is damaged accidently or stolen that they have specialist insurance in place."
