Hi All,

Recently had a traumatic event of dropping my DSLR camera. Luckily the camera body was ok but the lens has had it. Does anyone know if it's worth claiming the £120 for a new lens or would I just get hit for renewal?

Obviously subject to my currently mystery excess.


Thanks,
D

    What is your excess?

    Do a dummy quote with and without the claim and see the impact. Assuming you've any excess then it doesnt sound like its worth claiming when you factor in the premium impacts over 3-5 years.
