What insurance do I need to rent equipment from a tool rental yard?

When you rent equipment, the rental yard wants protection for their asset. They typically offer their own damage waiver (expensive) or accept a certificate of insurance showing you have coverage for non-owned equipment in your care.

A rented equipment endorsement on your tools policy provides the coverage the rental yard wants — at a fraction of what their damage waiver costs. Trade Safe issues COIs same-day, so you can provide documentation quickly when needed.

Some rental yards have specific requirements — minimum limits, specific policy language, or require themselves listed as additional insured. Review the rental contract and share requirements with your agent before heading to the yard.
