  • Does all of my equipment have to be insured?
    No. You may select which equipment to insure. If you work for a firm, they may have a policy to cover your equipment while in the office but once it's taken out of the office, it may not be covered by the firm's policy. Our policy protects your equipment no matter where it's located.

  • What if new equipment is purchased?
    If your newly acquired equipment is less than 25% of your policy limit, you will receive automatic coverage for up to 30 days from the date of purchase. You have 30 days to notify Association Member Benefits Advisors (AMBA) of the newly acquired equipment and you will need to pay for any additional premium to add the item. If your newly acquired equipment exceeds 25% of your policy limit, you will need to notify AMBA immediately to add the equipment to your policy.

  • What kind of reimbursement can I expect?

    This Plan pays you the actual cost of replacement. As long as your item is scheduled for its full value, no depreciation factor is taken into account. Claims are settled on a 'new-or-old' basis, up to the limit applied for on the application.

     
    In addition, there is up to 30 days of coverage for short term rented or borrowed equipment up to $2,500, without scheduling the item.  

  • Do I need this insurance if I already have coverage under any homeowner's policy?
    Yes. Your homeowner's policy does not cover any equipment used for business purposes. Your computer equipment may be covered if you also use it for personal matters. Your equipment used for business purposes is not typically covered under your homeowner's policy.

  • What's the minimum premium required under this plan?
    Unlike many other business equipment policies that require you to pay a minimum premium in the hundreds of dollars, this plan has a minimum premium of only $50.00.
