I used to ask about this to an insurance agent two years back. It falls under general insurance for theft.

The insurance company usually offer fire and burglary insurance for the premises only. This means that if the camera/equipment are stolen whilst outside of the studio, no cover will be provided. smile.gif

He told me that this is because not many studio is willing to pay the higher premium and they simply do not have much numbers that enables the insurer to provide coverage for theft outside of the premises.

This also means that we don't have insurance for accidental damage for local and during overseas travel. If you find one, do update me here. Because I wish to have my gears covered. biggrin.gif

Hope my own experience helps. thumbup.gif

I tried ask maybank insurance few days back, they got insurance policy that cover snatch cases but the amount of coverage is not so satisfying .
