Damage Waiver for Hired Equipment
Simple Protection for Your Hired Plant and Powered Access
Our optional Damage Waiver gives you straightforward protection against loss or damage while hiring plant, powered access or site equipment. It is designed for contractors who do not hold their own hired in plant insurance and provides added peace of mind during day to day operations. The waiver covers accidental damage or theft when equipment is used correctly and stored securely, helping you stay compliant with CPA hire terms. Our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure your hire is protected from the start.
Damage Waiver Questions Answered
If you hold valid hired in plant insurance you do not need to take out our Damage Waiver. If you do not have your own policy the Damage Waiver becomes compulsory and is charged at 20 percent of the hire cost. This ensures the equipment is protected against accidental damage or theft while on hire.
The waiver does not cover misuse, overloading, contaminated fuel, vandalism during non-working hours if equipment is not locked away, failure to maintain coolant, lubricants, batteries or tyre pressures, paint overspray, chemical damage, fire caused by hot works or any damage to third party persons or property. It also excludes any loss while the equipment is on unauthorised hire or loan to another party.
You must notify Quotemehire immediately with the date and time of the loss and the full circumstances. In cases of theft, malicious damage or riot you must also contact the police within 24 hours and obtain a crime number. These steps are required to progress any claim under the waiver.
