Sorry it's a bit of a mundane subject, but now I've got quite a bit of pricey gear I've realised it's impossible to get decent travel insurance in case it's damaged, lost or stolen, so I wondered what you all do, The personal possessions totals don't cover it, but they restrict it even more to pitiful valuables and single items limits that wouldn't cover oe body.
So I've upped by home contents as that seems the only thing, but my main concern was theft of the gear or perhaps if someone broke into your room or car they'd take even more by walking off with the bags/cases. The issue then was that it's not covered in a locked vehicle, or very little cover, and particularly in a hatchback/SUV/mid-size car for the family without a self-contained boot.
Sometimes you don't want every lens on you and tripod every time you leave the car, particularly if you're going to a shop/cafe/beach where sand or water may cause more damage if you never let go of it. If I go on a long walk, possibly overnight, I often don't want all that weight, certainly not every bit of gear, and if you're not based in the same room all holiday, say a fly-drive, there'll be days you move in with every possession in the car and you may stop off somewhere.
So any recommendations for a really good cover that doesn't cost hundreds as it's just for a few weeks holiday (even better if it includes pricey non-camera valuables like prescription glasses, GPS, expensive hiking boots etc). Thanks in advance
