Business insurance
Insurance for Equipment Hire Providers
A hire yard's risk follows the gear out the gate — your plant can be damaged, stolen or cause injury on a customer's site, often far from your control. You need cover on the fleet itself (including while on hire), plus public liability for incidents involving your equipment and yard. Theft and damage cover, transit cover for gear in transport, and workers' compensation for your team all matter, and you will want to be clear on hirer liability for damage. With hire policies commonly renewing around 30 June, review your fleet values and limits before the new financial year, especially after adding plant.
Common questions
Equipment Hire Providers — insurance questions
Is my gear covered while it is out on hire?
Only if your policy specifically extends to equipment while on hire, including damage and theft off-site. This is essential for a hire business, so check it is included rather than assuming your yard cover travels with the machine.
Who is liable if a hirer damages a machine?
Your hire agreement should make the hirer responsible for damage during the hire, but your own cover protects you if recovery falls short. A clear damage waiver and bond process, backed by insurance, is the safest combination.
