InformationRental Protection Plan

Rental Protection Plan: avoid extra costs

If you rent equipment from us, you are responsible for the costs of any damage, loss or theft. That’s why we offer you the Rental Protection Plan, including the Damage Waiver & Fire/Theft (DW/FT) waiver scheme. This eliminates these costs for you as a customer. Allowing you to rent from us, hassle-free.

How does it work?

With the Rental Protection Plan, you pay a percentage on top of the equipment rental price. If the tools are stolen or damaged, you only pay the deductible. We then pay the costs of repairs or replacement. Of course, we will provide you with new tools or equipment straight away.
