Direct Answer
Rented production gear is a property problem, not just a liability problem.
What is film equipment insurance?
Film equipment insurance is a production inland marine coverage review for owned and rented production gear. It may address cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, grip, drones, props, sets, wardrobe, rented equipment, storage, transit, temporary locations, rental-house certificates, and loss payee requirements.
Is rented equipment covered by general liability?
Not necessarily. General liability is usually focused on third-party bodily injury or property damage. Rented production equipment, owned gear, props, sets, wardrobe, and equipment in transit should be reviewed under inland marine or production equipment coverage rather than assumed under liability.
Why do rental houses ask for certificates and loss payees?
Rental houses want proof that their gear is insured and that the certificate wording matches the rental agreement. They may ask to be listed as certificate holder, additional insured, lender loss payee, loss payee, or otherwise scheduled depending on the contract and policy terms.
Inland Marine Lens
Equipment coverage follows the gear from rental counter to wrap.
The file should show values, contract wording, storage, transit, deductibles, pickup and return dates, and who needs to appear on the certificate.
Rental Counter
The rental agreement drives the wording.
Loss payee, lender loss payee, certificate holder, deductible, and replacement cost terms need to match the contract.
Camera Package
Values should not be guessed.
Owned gear, rented gear, lenses, sound, lighting, grip, drones, and accessories should be separated before review.
Production Kit
Storage and transit can change the answer.
Gear in vans, hotels, studios, temporary storage, shipping, and unattended vehicles should be surfaced early.
Full Production
Equipment ties back to the shoot.
Dates, locations, crew, vehicles, and declared scenes tell underwriting how the gear is actually used.
Equipment Risk Map
Gear coverage starts with what is owned, what is rented, where it moves, and who needs proof.
A production equipment file can fail because values are vague, certificates are late, storage is unclear, or the rental agreement uses wording the policy has not reviewed.
Rented equipment
Rental-house agreements, replacement cost, deductibles, certificate wording, loss payees, scheduled values, and pickup/return dates.
Owned equipment
Cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, grip, drones, computers, editing gear, production property, and recurring annual values.
Transit and storage
Gear in vehicles, temporary locations, storage units, studios, load-in, load-out, shipping, theft, and unattended vehicle concerns.
Contracts and COIs
Rental houses, location owners, lenders, certificate holders, loss payees, additional insureds, and contract wording deadlines.
Deductibles and valuation
Replacement cost, actual cash value, scheduled equipment, blanket limits, deductibles, sublimits, exclusions, and proof of ownership.
Production context
Project type, location schedule, annual production activity, declared scenes, vehicles, vendors, and whether gear travels internationally.
Equipment Universe
Film equipment insurance should name the gear, not hide it behind a generic property label.
This page gives production equipment its own search target and gives the main film page a natural support page for inland marine intent.

Submission Dossier
What to send before Eventure reviews production equipment or rented gear.
The goal is to let underwriting see the equipment, ownership, contract wording, valuation, storage, transit, and production context before certificates are rushed.
Gear list and values
Rented and owned equipment values, schedules, replacement cost estimates, serial numbers if available, props, sets, wardrobe, and specialty gear.
Rental-house contract
Certificate holder, loss payee wording, additional insured wording, deductible requirements, replacement cost terms, pickup and return dates, and rental agreement.
Storage and transit
Where gear is stored, how it travels, vehicles used, overnight storage, unattended vehicle concerns, shipping, studios, and temporary locations.
Production details
Project title, production company, dates, locations, annual or single-project basis, crew, vendors, declared hazards, and international travel if any.
Prior coverage and losses
Current policy, claims history, theft history, requested limits, deductibles, carrier requirements, and any contract deadlines.
Rental House Requirements
The rental agreement usually tells you what the equipment certificate needs to prove.
This is where many competitors stay vague. Eventure should review the exact wording before assuming the policy can satisfy the rental house, lender, location owner, or production contract.
Certificate holder
The rental company or location may need to appear exactly as shown in the contract, including address and project reference.
Loss payee or lender loss payee
Gear owners may request loss payee wording so their financial interest in the rented equipment is visible on the certificate.
Replacement cost
Some contracts require replacement cost language instead of actual cash value. That should be checked against policy wording.
Deductible confirmation
Rental agreements often require the insured to absorb the deductible. The requested deductible should match the policy terms.
Dates and territory
Pickup dates, return dates, travel, storage, and international or out-of-state use should be disclosed before certificates are issued.
Scheduled vs blanket limits
Underwriting may need to know whether equipment is individually scheduled, covered under a blanket limit, or subject to sublimits.
Gear Schedule Checklist
A clean gear schedule can prevent the quote from becoming a guessing exercise.
Send enough detail for underwriting to understand value, ownership, movement, and contract requirements. The schedule does not need to be fancy; it needs to be clear.
