As a professional musician, you depend upon your instruments and equipment. Just think of the exorbitant costs of replacing equipment if it is lost or damaged. Most homeowner’s and renter’s insurance is not enough to protect from loss, theft or damage on location. Thus, the AFM provides access to the “All-Risk” Musician Instrument and Equipment Insurance Plan. Your instruments and music-related equipment are protected from vandalism, breakage, water, fire, lightening and theft up to the full replacement value.
- Annual Premium Per $100 of Replacement Value
- Your first $1,500 of equipment: $2.20 per $100 value
- Over $1,500 of equipment: $1.00 per $100 value
NOTE: Minimum premium is $75. Total values in excess of $100,000 must be submitted for individual analysis, and acceptance may be subject to additional information. There is no limit to the amount you can apply for. Coverage will become effective for $100,000 or more upon approval by the underwriting company. Program is subject to a deductible of $100 for each loss.
