What happens if your music equipment is damaged?

If your instrument is stolen from your home or studio or has suffered damage, musicGuard is there to help you. Our cover includes theft and accidental damage, vandalism, and attempted theft. Security requirements apply.

How can we replace your music equipment?

We understand what your instrument means to you, which is why we offer genuine new for old replacement, and we don’t depreciate the value of your instrument when you make a claim. Included with all polices purchased after 23/09/2019.
