Rabbie Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I have, like all my friends, colleagues and acquaintances, used Allianz for years. Excellent service, excellent reviews. Last year I went with Insure4music: on paper they offer the same service but the price is £80 cheaper!! No brainier or there’s something I’m missing? May I ask for your experiences? also, may I add, I have never put in a claim in my life. both covers are for UK wide touring, including theft from unattended vehicle. Both covers include instrument hire if something happens while on tour. thanks folks (may I please ask specifically about double bass specific experiences, less likely theft, much more likely skilled repair, etc...) r Edited July 9, 2018 by Rabbie Added info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Anything that saves on the vast Allianz premiums would be a good thing to have! I have claimed off them (or maybe their predecessor British Reserve) once, in 30 odd years of cover) and they paid up direct to the menders, but only after an argument that ended with me upping the value of my bass ... rather a lot. But with a 'cello, a bass and now my better two bass guitars on there .. it's more than my car insurance! It seemed worth the extra when they were real specialists and you could talk to a real person in Tonbridge who knew what a double bass was .... not sure Allianz is anthing different from any other insurance co now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart3442 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) I was with British reserve/Allianz for 20 years. On the recommendation of Steve Berry, I changed to New Moon last year. Same cover for 1/3rd of the Allianz renewal..... Edited July 24, 2018 by mart3442 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpea Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I'm with New Moon. They're absolutely brilliant, I've had to claim twice in 6 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
