In the entertainment industry, every dollar counts—especially for independent filmmakers, production companies, and creative teams working within tight budgets. While insurance is a necessary part of protecting your investment, there are smart ways to save money on entertainment insurance without sacrificing the coverage you need.
At MovieInsure, we help productions of all sizes get affordable, tailored coverage. Here’s how you can reduce your insurance costs—while still keeping your project fully protected.
1. Bundle Your Coverages
The Tip:
Instead of buying separate policies for liability, equipment, cast, or location insurance, consider bundling your coverages into one package.
The Benefit:
Bundling often results in a lower total premium and simplifies your policy management. At MovieInsure, we customize bundled policies that include exactly what you need—nothing more, nothing less.
2. Only Pay for What You Need
The Tip:
Avoid one-size-fits-all coverage. Many insurers offer general packages that include coverage you may not even use.
The Benefit:
We help you identify which policies are truly necessary based on the type, length, and scope of your production. Short shoot? You don’t need a long-term policy. No stunts or high-risk scenes? You might not need that extra endorsement.
3. Provide Accurate Production Details Upfront
The Tip:
When applying for insurance, be as specific as possible about your production schedule, cast size, locations, and equipment use.
The Benefit:
Accurate details help underwriters assess risk more precisely—and that can lower your premium. Inflated or vague estimates can lead to higher costs or even denied claims later.
4. Choose the Right Deductible
The Tip:
Consider raising your deductible if you’re confident in your ability to manage smaller claims.
The Benefit:
A higher deductible typically means a lower premium. Just make sure you have funds set aside in case of a minor loss that doesn’t meet your deductible.
5. Work with a Specialist Broker
The Tip:
Don’t go through a generic commercial insurance provider—work with a broker who specializes in entertainment insurance.
The Benefit:
At MovieInsure, we know the ins and outs of the industry. We can help you avoid unnecessary coverage, find discounts, and get the most value for your budget. Plus, we often have access to entertainment-specific carriers and programs not available to general brokers.
6. Practice Good Risk Management
The Tip:
Implement safety training, proper equipment handling, and clear contracts with crew and vendors.
The Benefit:
Productions with a strong safety record are seen as lower-risk by insurers, which can lead to better rates. It also helps avoid costly claims that could increase your premiums in the future.
