Shotgun and rifle insurance

With the average cost of a rifle or shotgun now at £5,000, having insurance for when an unexpected event occurs is worth consideration. More often than not guns are well looked after; however, accidents can happen. With stock breakage or damage to the barrel a common cause of detriment, repair work, if at all possible, can often be costly.

We provide cover on an all-risks basis for specified shooting and sporting equipment. Newmoon not only provides shotgun and rifle insurance but policies can also be extended to cover: sights, binoculars, night vision and many other accessories.

Our policy includes special rates and extensions for BASC members. It also allows you to select on a gun-by-gun basis the level of cover you require, including new-for-old, indemnity, agreed value, and premises-only cover.

Some of the benefits of our policy include:

cover at home, gun club, at a shoot, transit to and from a shoot;
repair or replacement;
accidental damage, for example, barrel blow-out (many home insurance policies exclude this cover);
alternative hire cost up to £250 per year;
dedicated pairs and sets of clauses; and
cover against damage caused to a gun while being loaded by another person on a shoot with you.

cover for loaning your gun to another member of your association (conditions apply);
option for professional and commercial use;
standard gun cover includes accessories up to the value of £750;
£0 excess on your insured guns (except indemnity basis where an excess applies from 10% – 30% depending on the age of gun);
cover anywhere in the UK with an optional 21 days worldwide extension for an additional premium; and
sums insured up to £100,000.
