-
Yes, there are some security requirements for the location where you store your photography equipment, both in the home/premises and in a vehicle.

Of course! We specialise in providing speedy Public Liability only quotes. Get a quote here.
Generally, there isn’t a set limit, and it will depend on the type of photography you specialise in and the risks that your work might include.
Semi-professional and professional photographers may work at events where a certain public liability limit is required. For example, a wedding venue may insist that you have at least £5m worth of cover in place.
You can choose an amount that suits you, from £1m, £2m, £5m and £10m.
It’s probably a good idea to check with your clients and customers to see if they have any specific requirements for the level of Public Liability.
You can always amend your cover with us later, just contact us and we’ll take care of it.
NOTE: (Admin fees apply to all policy changes as per our Terms of Business)

-
The reason for having 2 monthly payments around the same time is that these are the first 2 out of your 10 monthly payments for your policy.
When a policy renews with the monthly payment option selected, our partners at Premium Credit will collect the first 2 out of the 10 monthly payments from you around the same day.
This is due to the first payment after renewal taking up to 10 working days to be set up and then your payments continue as normal, on the usual payment date. This means that the first 2 payments will be taken close together or even on the same day.
Please be assured that this does not impact the cost of your insurance in any way and you would now have only 8 monthly payments remaining this year.
-
If you are seeing any additional fees on your statement and have a monthly instalment plan with Premium Credit, you will need to contact them on 0344 736 9836.
-
You can select optional worldwide or EU cover when you get a quote, which will cover you whilst abroad, for up to 60 days in any one period of insurance.
Please note if you do not select this option, your cover will be limited to the UK only.
