Insurance Options
Insurance is required whenever you hire equipment, regardless of the hire company you use. Some companies just leave you to find this information from the small print in their terms and conditions. While you are using hired plant/equipment you are liable for it. Domestic users/homeowners may have cover on their existing insurance policy or can temporarily add cover. You can contact your insurer to discuss this. Business users should have 'Hired In Plant' cover on their business insurance. If you do not have the appropriate insurance then we can offer cover for you via our insurance company in the form of a waiver. The cost is 15% of your hire charges (hire only fee, it doesn't include delivery fee) and this gives you full cover in the event of loss or damage of equipment. Cost example: £100 hire fee - 15% waiver cost £15.00 You can download a waiver form here:
