Question Insurance for photographic equipment in Spain with Worldwide Cover

Hi all

I am moving to Tenerife, Spain in a month or so, however I have a certain amount of photographic equipment that I need to insure against theft and accidental damage (to the value of around £2,000). Problem is, most British insurers won't help as I'm moving to Spain whilst most tend to be for UK residents only.

I am at somewhat of a loss as to where to turn, I'm not that bothered if I can't get the cheapest insurance available, but I just need to have some kind of insurance for this equipment in place ASAP.

I'm posting here to see if anyone can point me in a good direction of a Spanish photographic equipment insurer or a British photographic equipment insurer who can support my residency in Spain as well as offer worldwide coverage too.

Thank you in advance!

Knights Insurance has been very expensive with my boat insurance, found out that Mapfre was about half price for same conditions.

I can only relate to my boat insurance, good for you Mitzy. I hope that the OP will be wise enough to compare various companies.
