If you’re a budding Annie Leibowitz, then you can’t do without your camera. Losing it, accidentally breaking it or having it stolen are all situations that you’d like to avoid but if they happen, our camera insurance is there to help.
Your insurance doesn’t need to only cover your camera. As well as your lenses, everything you need to make your photography can be put on your policy (up to 10 gadgets, each valued at up to £1,500). That could be your laptop for editing, capturing spectacular landscapes on your camera or your GoPro, all protected on one policy.
We’re proud of our pay-as-you-go policy. So if you sell your camera and cancel your cover, you won’t incur a fee
Photography isn’t only about cameras. And virtually all of the tech that you need can be covered on a single gadget insurance policy
Our cover is worldwide, meaning that you can jet-set the world taking pictures and not worry about being covered
Okay, some are. But if yours isn’t and you drop it into a lake while getting that perfect shot, you’ll be covered under our liquid damage cover
No one knows when something might go wrong, so our online portal can help you out whenever and wherever you are
If other members of your family have cameras or other gadgets they’d like to protect, our Family Bundle can help you save money
Let us know which devices you want to cover by providing their device, brand, make and model
Select from economy, standard and premier cover based on how much excess you want to pay
Pay monthly or pay annually to get 12 months for the price of 10^
Simply give us your details, set up a payment method and you're done
^ Price quoted includes the discount of 12 months for the price of 10
You can’t do much photography without a camera. And if your camera breaks, gets lost or stolen or is damaged then without insurance it can be very costly and take a lot of time to sort everything out. Insurance is there to help get you back to snapping away as quickly and easily as possible.
Whether it’s repairs, replacements or a payout to cover costs, Post Office Gadget Insurance is a safety net should something go wrong. And with a policy that can accommodate up to 10 devices*, you can have cover for the rest of your photography suite – from your laptop to your camera.
Our pay-as-you-go policy means you’re in control. If you sell a camera but it’s a while before you can upgrade, simply stop your policy. We’ll be ready for when you come back.

Let’s find the protection that’s right for your camera. Get a quote for Post Office Camera Insurance
Camera insurance is a means of protecting cameras and camera-related equipment in the event that they are damaged, lost, stolen or suffer the result of a range of circumstances. A successful claim might help you by repairing broken or damaged equipment, replacing it, or offering you a cash sum. Gadget insurance, which covers cameras and camera equipment, offers this protection to a large range of gadgets.
Your home contents insurance might have exclusions for gadgets or the situations in which you can make a claim. There may be a single article limit (the maximum value an item can have for it to be insured) and certain pieces of technology you own can exceed that value.
You might have opted for away from home cover on your home contents insurance, which means that specific items on your policy are covered when you take them abroad.
Gadget insurance covers devices up to a pre-defined value worldwide. Your cover level will dictate what you are covered for, and it’s important to compare different types of policy to decide what type of insurance would best suit your needs.
Not just water; all manner of liquids. But yes, our gadget insurance covers liquid damage as standard.
