Reading the fine print of the DAN suggested travel insurance Sporting Equipment coverage, I found that unless you have receipts for your equipment, they will only reimburse you 75% of the value.
I don't know about you, but I'm not so much of a pack rat that I keep receipts for everything I buy, for life. That is a level of paperwork that is inhuman and borderline OCD.
I sort of understand why they might need that for auditing purposes, or to prevent fraud or something, but if I have a Zeagle F8 regulator that was lost in my baggage and I can prove it was there (I will be taking pictures and make a manifest of everything), its pretty easy to look up how much that is worth and reimburse me for the full price. If there is actual fraud of people proving they had equipment, but what... stealing it instead off buying it? that they need to ding except bonafide paper pack rats for 25% to cover that, then I'd like to see receipts for that!
