kc Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Losing a no claim bonus on car insurance is likely to be much more expensive than the RC gear might cost! Note that a Protected No claim Bonus doesnt mean they won't increase your premium! I had the catalytic convertor stolen from my car and the Protected bonus didn't stop my premium being increased! My first claim on my car insurance in 59 years! Now the catalytic conv has been stolen a second time in just over a year...... Home insurance is likely to be the better way to cover theft or damage. Need to read the insurance small print & check if RC gear is included on the items taken out of the home - sport equipment, cameras etc are often covered that way but sometimes items above a certain value must be specified. Look for any comment about items being securely locked in a car boot & hidden from view as planes and Tx are often in view in our cars. Covering the planes in the car by a cover might be necessary to stop them being seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Walker Midgley of Sheffield do model engineering insurance for fire / theft from your workshop for both models and equipment plus transport of models. I believe they will do this for RC modelling as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I've added my fairly expensive transmitter to personal possessions on a couple of different house insurance policies over the years. They just wanted it listed as a specified item and the only major condition is that it has to be in a locked compartment if left in an unattended vehicle.
