The Loss or Damage Waiver scheme (Hire Protect) takes the worry out of hiring equipment, giving you peace of mind when you hire plant and equipment.
In this section, we cover the information you need to know about the scheme. If you would like any more details, please call us on 01284 788122 or come and visit us.
Policy Cost
Hire Protect is calculated as a percentage of your total hire charge – 15% on all equipment. For example, if the cost of hiring a 1 Tonne Excavator and a tracked power barrow for a day came to £100 the waiver would cost £15.
Excess Charges
In the event of a claim being made, you will be subject to the following excess charges:
Claim Value |
Excess |
| £1 – £500 | £25.00 |
| £501 – £1,000 | £50.00 |
| £1,001 – £2,000 | £75.00 |
| £2,001 – £2,500 | £100.00 |
