If you mean just for two weeks while you are on hols I'm not sure. However these two are the most reputable. Photoguard and EandL HTH.

'All risk' items on house contents insurance are covered for use on holidays.

Have you spoken to your contents insurer?

Check your travel insurance (if you have any, and if not why not?) 'cos that might be able to extend too.

I had pro cover with E&L and it looks fine till you have to make a claim, then you might as well have used thugs n vagabonds are us!!!!

When I renewed my house contents I had my camera kit put on for "all risks" any where in the world , it put my premium up £6 .

Same with them all, insurance companies exist to take your money, not give you money.

Sound business practice really

Your camera gear may be insured under your house insurance - it's worth checking first.

I'd steer clear of EandL insurance. I had pet insurance with them, which seemed cheap at the time...until I tried to make a claim, then it's like trying to get blood out of a stone.

I use camerasure, I've not had to make a claim but I used them on the basis of good reports of fast payouts.
