Instrument Insurance

Musical instrument theft is an all-too common occurrence which you should be aware of. Most home contents policies provide cover for named items; however, it pays to check the small print carefully. We've made a list below for you to check with your current insurer.

Even if you have a home insurance policy that includes named item cover, there are still many advantages to having a policy with a specialist insurer, as they usually offer cover for a much wider range of situations, and often with a lower excess than standard domestic policies.

Insurance policy checklist

  •  Does a child take the instrument to school or college? If stolen from a classroom or locker, household insurers tend to class this as loss and are unlikely to pay out. Newmoon covers loss.
  •  Do you use your instrument professionally? If playing or teaching with your instrument, household cover is unlikely to cover you in the event of a claim. Newmoon covers professional use.
  •  Do you sometimes take your instrument abroad? Unless you notify your insurer first, you may not be covered. Newmoon covers you for 60 days' travel outside the United Kingdom.
  •  Do you take your instrument out by car or public transport? If stolen from a car or left on a train, household cover may not pay out. Newmoon covers theft from a locked car as standard.
  •  What is your current excess? Newmoon has zero excess as standard.
  •  Repairs and replacements Will your household insurer know the best place to repair or replace your instrument?
  •  Replacement value Will your household cover pay out enough to replace your instrument? Newmoon policies are on a "New for old" basis.
