At Liberty, we specialize in providing coverage for the film production and event industry.
With our expertise, we can help you find the right coverage to protect your valuable equipment and ensure your production goes smoothly.
If you rent equipment for a film or production, whether you’re a professional studio or an independent filmmaker, you should consider purchasing rental insurance. This coverage can help protect against damage, theft, or loss of equipment while it’s in use.
Even with proper precautions of obtaining certificates of insurance to transfer risk, accidents can happen on set or during transportation, and repairing or replacing equipment can be costly. Without the proper insurance, you may be responsible for paying these expenses out of pocket. Furthermore, some rental companies may not offer sufficient coverage or have exclusions in their policies that may leave a production company exposed to financial risks. Purchasing rental insurance can help mitigate these risks and provide peace of mind for a smooth production process.
Furthermore, if a third party that is liable for a loss has overage that is limited or may have expired having the right coverage in place will protect your financial interest.

Film and production equipment rental insurance can cover damage, theft, or loss of equipment while it’s being rented or leased. It can also provide coverage for third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury, as well as legal claims related to mistakes or omissions in the production process.
While rental companies may offer insurance on the equipment you’re renting, this coverage may not be enough to fully protect you in case of an accident. Purchasing your own rental insurance can provide additional peace of mind and ensure that you’re fully covered.
