Frequently Asked Questions about Equipment and Gear Insurance for DJs
How Much Is Equipment Insurance?
Insurance Canopy offers two different policy options and two different prices when it comes to protecting your equipment.
- $2,000 policy year (+$6.00 / month)
- $5,000 policy year (+$12.50 / month)
An increase in the coverage amount for your gear and equipment per year also increases the price of the equipment insurance. So if your policy price for the year is up to $5,000 in equipment coverage, your policy price would increase by $12.50 per month.
Does DJ Equipment Insurance Cover Theft Or Damage During Transportation?
If your DJ equipment is left unattended, it is not covered for theft or damages, which includes if it is left unattended in a vehicle or trailer overnight. If the equipment were to be stolen by an employee, this also wouldn’t be covered under a DJ equipment insurance policy.
Depending on the situation, damage to your equipment may be covered but equipment claims will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
How Is The Value Of My DJ Equipment Determined?
The value of your DJ equipment will be the lowest of the following amounts:
- The cash value of the equipment
- The cost of what it would take to restore the property to the condition that it was in before the damage happened.
- The cost of replacing your equipment with identical equipment.
