Production Insurance
Comprehensive insurance solutions for film productions in Austria.
Here is how this works in practice. Production insurance protects against the financial risks inherent in filmmaking. In Austria, AUVA (Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt) covers required workers' accident insurance, and heritage locations managed by the Bundesdenkmalamt mostly need specific liability coverage before granting filming access.
Here is the short of it. We set up production insurance through Austrian and European brokers skilled in film and television coverage. Our team assesses your production's specific risk profile and arranges full policies that satisfy AUVA needs, heritage site mandates, and global distribution obligations.

On Location
Production insurance in Austria combines mandatory workers' accident cover, EU-recognised liability policies, and specific coverage that heritage sites and incentive funders require.
Here is the breakdown. We set up production insurance through Austrian and European brokers skilled in film and television, assessing each production's risk profile and arranging policies that match it. Cover mostly spans gear, cast and crew, third-party and public liability, props and sets, errors and omissions, and extra-costs protection.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We make sure policies meet Austrian needs. This includes the required accident insurance that protects workers, and we arrange the specific liability cover that landmark and heritage locations demand before granting filming access, since sites such as Schönbrunn, the Belvedere, and other covered sites commonly set their own limits.
Where shoots draw on the ÖFI+ or FISA+ rebates, we make sure insurance and any completion-bond plan satisfy the conditions funders attach.
Here is how this works in practice. Austria's risk landscape shapes the cover a production needs. Shoots that move into the Tyrolean Alps, onto glacier locations near Sölden, or along the Grossglockner High Alpine Road carry weather, altitude, and access exposures that policies must reflect. While water work on the Wörthersee, the Neusiedlersee, or the Salzkammergut lakes adds further risk. As an EU member within the Eurozone, Austria gives insurance recognised across the bloc.
Here is how the picture comes together. This simplifies cover for global and co-produced projects. Personal data handled in cast and crew policies falls under the Datenschutzgesetz and GDPR. The country's skilled production sector and its track record on major shoots, from ORF drama to global service shoots, mean brokers know film risk well. We use that expertise to place full, competitively priced cover with trusted claims support.
