Surveying Equipment Insurance

Electronic equipment is vulnerable to theft as well as accidental damage. This is especially the case for portable equipment that is not always located in secure premises. Portable equipment is at its most vulnerable when you are travelling or on site.

With the wide variety of environments and situations Surveying equipment is exposed to, it can easily get accidentally damaged and occasionally stolen. Repairing damage to sensitive and highly accurate equipment can be expensive, so having your equipment covered by a fully features, specialist policy makes sense.

THEFT COVER
Electronic equipment presents an easy target for thieves and can often be easily resold, so the underwriters see a lot of claims for electronic equipment.

Provided your equipment is supervised or in a secure environment like your home, office or a locked vehicle, our insurance will protect you against theft.

This cover operates worldwide for up to 28 days and can be extended if required. Please call us for more details.

LOSS in TRANSIT
Electronic equipment can be tempting and lucrative targets for thieves while you are travelling.

The Protecsure policy will cover your equipment for both theft and accidental damage while you are in transit.

THEFT FROM A LOCKED VEHICLE
Most insurance policies will not cover electronic equipment against theft from a vehicle, but this does occur and claims are received due to this occurance.

Our policy will cover your equipment if it is stolen from a locked vehicle by forced entry.

Other policies stipulate that electronic equipment should be out of sight, preferably in a locked boot. Though we always encourage people to protect their equipment from view, sometimes this is not always possible, but we will pay claims if your electronic equipment is stolen via forced entry into a locked vehicle.

ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE COVER
More claims are received for accidental damage to electronic equipment than for theft. Typically claims are received for equipment that have been dropped, suffered liquid spills or fallen.

Having a fully featured insurance policy that covers repairs to electronic equipment makes sense.

WORLDWIDE COVER; 28 days per trip (extendable)
Business often requires overseas travel and the average insurance policy does not cover electronic equipment whilst travelling abroad.

Electronic equipment is often beyond the scope of travel policies and other general equipment policies may have high excesses if they include overseas travel cover, so can leave you significantly out of pocket.

With this Protecsure policy, your electronic equipment is automatically covered for trips of upto 28 days and this is extendable by an additional premium.

POLICY EXCESS from $100
Many home, contents and business policies have an excess of $250 or more, which adds to the financial burden when you have to make a claim.

Our insurance policies offer an excess from as little as $100, meaning you will be far less out of pocket in the event of a claim.

USE YOUR OWN REPAIRER
Many insurance companies have preferred repairers and will shop around for the cheapest price to repair or replace your equipment, you may find this unsuitable.

With our policy, we simply ask you to go back to where you purchased your electronic equipment and obtain a quote from them. In 99% of cases this will be approved, allowing you to select the repairer of your choice. You can of course take your equipment to any repairer, so long as their quote is reasonable.

48hr CLAIMS APPROVAL PROCESS
Many insurance companies can take up to 30 days of longer to approve and complete a claim. This can be very frustrating when you want to get repairs or a replacement underway as soon as possible.

Protecsure's normal service standard is to respond to claims within 48hrs. They want to process your claim as quickly as possible.

Claim forms and instructions are downloadable from this site together with the contact numbers you may require.
