Hi Henry, thank you for your feedback and leaving us a review. 

I’m sorry to hear that you feel this way. We understand that our pricing may not suit everyone, but we always encourage customers to contact us if they have any concerns so we can discuss the situation further and see if there’s anything we can do to help.

Just to clarify, the lower price you’re referring to was part of our special introductory offer for new customers, which you would have received during your first year with us. This is why the discounted rate is currently shown on our website for new members.

When your policy comes up for renewal, that introductory discount unfortunately comes to an end, as it is only available for the first year. This is because our underwriters provide this offer exclusively to new customers, and after the initial period the policy moves to the standard pricing.

Please contact us via the below link if you'd like to discuss this or anything else further.

Kind Regards,
Ripe Photography Team

Insurance always "Ripe" and Ready

I have used Ripe Insurance in the past and have been happy with their service.
So when I wanted to insure my photographic equipment I was pleased to see that Ripe could provide it.
Very easy to get all my stuff covered and at a realistic price.

You made it very easy

You made it very easy for somebody that doesn't really understand computers and gave me the cover I wanted at a good price. At my age, you can't ask for more.

The best insuarance for photograpy.

I have insured my camera equipments with Ripe insurance for 2 years now.I didn't know that filters are covered too. Accidentally one of my LEE ND filters dropped on the floor and broke.I contacted customer service with doubt. They are very helpful and the claim procedure is very straightforward.Once I submitted evidence of damage, Proof of purchase and cost for replacement claim was sorted. I am really satisfied and recommend this photography insurance.

DON'T USE THEM

This is the second year that they have automatically renewed my policy without sending any renewal notice only the policy documents. last year i advised them that i did not want to auotmatically renew this year. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. I am writing to my bank and also Aviva that underwrites the policy.

Great price with flexabilty on cover

loved the ability to tailor a quote to different areas of the world. Easy system to use. Thoroughly recommended rather than sticking high value items on home insurance

I tried to stop renewal of policy next week as my husband has died. Very unhelpful couldn’t tell me if money will be taken out of account automatically or not. I now have to send copy of death certificate.
This is the only company I have had to do this for.

Good afternoon Phyllis, thank you for your review.

Please accept our condolences at this difficult time.  I've attempted to look into this for you but unfortunately i'm not able to locate your husband's policy from the information available to me.

So that we can process the cancellation for you, please send your Husband's policy number and death certificate by email to us at photography@ripeinsurance.co.uk

Kind regards, Lawrence.
