What’s sports equipment insurance?

Sports equipment insurance is part of what we call Personal Property Plus insurance. It helps protect your home gym equipment, golf gear and other things beyond what a homeowners or renters policy covers. Plus, there’s no deductible.

How it works

You can cover a single item for up to $2,500 or multiple items in a collection for up to $10,000. We call this a blanket policy. If you insure a collection, the policy won’t pay more than $2,500 for a single item.

Blanket policies are easy to get because you don’t have to describe your items or provide proof of ownership up front.‍ ‍ See note 1

 

What’s covered?

Here are some common things we usually protect:

  • Baseball bats

  • Bowling balls

  • Camping gear

  • Fishing poles and waders

  • Golf clubs and accessories

  • Guns and bows

  • Rollerblades and protective gear

  • Skis and snowboards

  • Stationary exercise bikes

  • Tennis rackets

  • Treadmills

  • Weights

Claims covered by sports equipment insurance

Sports equipment insurance could pay to repair or replace your covered items. Here are some examples of common claims.‍ ‍ See note 2

Theft

Someone breaks into your car and steals your new golf bag from the trunk.

Drops or breaks

You catch a big fish that causes your pole to snap in half.

Lost or misplaced items

Your kid can’t seem to find their gear after their last game.

Why choose us

No deductible

That’s right: there really is no deductible. This means you don’t have to pay anything extra when you make a claim.

Replacement cost coverage‍ ‍ See note 3

Your policy covers your things at their current value with no depreciation. If your stuff gets damaged, we'll pay to repair or replace it with another item similar in quality and value.

Is insurance for sports equipment worth it?

If you know you'd replace something if it's lost, stolen or damaged, sports equipment coverage may be a smart move.

This Personal Property Plus policy doesn't have a deductible and is inexpensive compared to the cost of replacing valuable gear.

Sports equipment insurance FAQ

Most homeowners and renters policies cover sports equipment, but there are often limitations.

You may pay a deductible as part of your homeowners or renters policy. For example: If you have a $2,000 elliptical machine and a $3,000 homeowners deductible, you'd have to pay out of pocket to repair or replace it. With a Personal Property Plus policy, there's no deductible.

Personal Property Plus insurance may help cover your gear if you accidentally drop it, break it or lose it. A homeowners or renters policy won't.

Here are some examples of items that aren't covered by a Personal Property Plus sports equipment policy:

  • Electronic sports and gaming items
  • Everyday eyewear
  • Fitness and athletic wear
  • Nonstationary bicycles and e-bikes
  • Scooters
  • Sports memorabilia

It also won’t cover mechanical breakdowns, or damage that’s intentional or caused by normal wear and tear.

If there’s a loss, sports equipment coverage for guns and bows on a blanket Personal Property Plus policy will only pay up to $2,500 per item.

If you want to insure a more expensive firearm, you can get a scheduled Personal Property Plus policy. It helps make sure you have enough coverage.

With a scheduled policy, you’ll need to give us a detailed description of your item and tell us what it would cost to replace it.

High-value guns and bows may need a receipt, an appraisal or other documentation to show proof of ownership and value.

Guard your game with the right coverage.
