We recommend all providers of equipment obtain equipment insurance AND voluntary parting insurance before listing their equipment for rental. StageWing™ Members can purchase insurance through their own insurance provider or through our preferred insurance provider Athos Insurance. Go to the Insurance page to get a free quote from Athos Insurance. The insurance policy (at Athos Insurance) is also widely known as an “equipment floater”, meaning your insurance coverage ‘floats’ to follow your gear wherever it may be, especially if you’re taking your equipment away from your home. This type of insurance can play a HUGE role in the event that you need to make an insurance claim. Highlights of included and optional coverages: 1. Accidental Damages - Unintentional damages to equipment such as water damage, drops, and scratches are covered, as well as, damage caused by falling objects. 2. Theft - Equipment stolen from you is covered; theft could be from set, storage, your home, an auto, etc. 3. Damage caused by natural events such as lightning, fire and smoke, earthquakes, windstorms, hail and flood is covered. 4. Damage due to Nationally Declared Acts of Terrorism is covered. 5. (Optional but RECOMMENDED) – Voluntary Parting and/or Conversion - known as Fraudulent Renters coverage. If you rent out your equipment and the renter just never returns your gear, the renter’s insurance policy wouldn’t cover their criminal act. Voluntary parting coverage is meant to cover this very type of risk. 6. (Optional) – Equipment afloat or underwater -if you plan to take your gear on a boat or underwater (i.e. an underwater camera operator) you can add the optional Above or Underwater coverage. Snow would also be considered water. This coverage can be added annually or on a temporary basis on your annual policy by endorsement. 7. Worldwide Coverage - Your equipment is covered worldwide except for in countries with US sanctions. If traveling to Mexico the policy automatically includes coverage for equipment up to $25,000. Additional coverage for Mexico can be added for additional premium. 8. Damage or theft that occurs during transit and/or shipping is covered. 9. Replacement Cost Coverage - This means your equipment will be replaced with equipment of like kind and quality - you are not penalized for depreciation.
