Hey gang...
Got a question about insurance here... specifically how do you guys deal with the insurance necessary to cover rental equipment...?
The problem is, we are a little out of our realm here because we hardly ever rent anything... we own a relatively decent camera/support/grip inventory so dealing with rental houses is not something that we have to deal with more than once every few years.
However we have a big shoot coming up that requires more than our meager grip inventory so we have to rent about a quarter million bucks worth of someone else's stuff. Our "regular" insurance company (who normally handles our equipment, vehicles, liability, etc.) is taking care of it this time... but there are
all kinds of hoops to jump through and we get the distinct impression that they are somewhat ill-equipped (and unmotivated) to write small short-term policies like this.
There's got to be an easier way... but we just don't know what it is.
Suggestions anyone?
