Buying insurance for a MacBook Pro with Mainstage?

Does anyone have experience buying insurance for their MacBook Pro when using it to perform with MainStage? I've found that renter's insurance won't cover a laptop when it's being used in a professional/performance environment.

Can you recommend some companies? An additional wrinkle: I live in the Czech Republic. Some companies can only insure when you live in, say, the UK or US.

thank you!

I live in Australia and can't speak about your situation in the Czech Republic but my performance laptop is covered by my musical instrument insurance policy (along with my saxes and all of my other performance equipment). I looked at a number of different insurance companies and policies to find a policy that covered everything I needed it to cover, and am very happy with my current policy.

Does anyone in the Czech Republic offer musical instrument insurance that might cover your needs?

Thanks for the response! So far I've only called one musical instrument insurance company (Evropska Pojistovna), and the guy was helpful, but said they don't cover laptops. According to him, because it's still a developing market, they don't have the kind of laptop insurance you can find in the west.... so I might be out of luck, but I'll keep on the path looking at musical instrument insurance companies.
