Whether you rent out heavy machinery, party supplies, tools, or audiovisual equipment, the equipment you provide is valuable and your business can face serious liability if anything goes wrong. From damage to property, injuries to others, or lost or stolen items, the risks are real. Without proper coverage, your business could face financial setbacks that threaten its future.

Equipment rental businesses face hazards that other businesses may not. For example:
Customers may injure themselves or damage property while using your equipment.
Rented equipment may be lent to someone else, increasing your liability.
Equipment may be lost, stolen, or not returned, creating financial losses.
Each type of equipment and client relationship adds a layer of risk that your insurance needs to account for.
No two equipment rental businesses are exactly alike. Factors that affect coverage include:
The type of equipment you rent (bicycles vs. cranes vs. audiovisual gear).
The skill and experience of your clients.
Duration of rental periods.
Legally binding rental agreements outlining client responsibilities and required coverage.
By assessing these variables, we can design a policy that protects both your equipment and your business operations.
