Rental Shield™ covers a ton! Look to your right and see what we cover versus the typical coverage option.

Simple answer:

Price is 100% dependent on your unique situation.

Complex answer:

The price for coverage is based on 2 factors.

  1. Equipment Value
  2. Length of Rental

To find the premium for your policy, simply follow the formula below. Please note that a 3% credit card fee will be applied in addition to the total premium.

Sample Quote:

$100,000 (Equipment Value) x 8.0% ÷ 365 days = $21.92

$21.92 x 10 days = $219.20 Total Premium

*Disclaimer* Every policy is different. Therefore, the pricing is subject to change. Below is some specific information regarding minimum pricing and structure.

  • The minimum cost is $15/day.
  • The minimum premium for a policy is $105 + tax ($15 x 7 days) regardless of the equipment value.

Simple answer:

The deductible is dependent upon the value of the machine.

In depth answer:

We will cover equipment that is valued at up to $250,000. If equipment is valued higher than that, please contact us at rentalshield@jtbatesgroup.com so we can look at your case more closely.

However, for any equipment valued below $250,000, the deductibles are as follows.

Equipment valued from $1,000$99,999 = $2,500 Deductible

Equipment valued from $100,000 – $250,000 = $5,000 Deductible

In select cases the deductible may be higher due to the scope of work. We will evaluate each deductible rate on a per policy basis. The deductible rates are subject to change.

Simple answer:

Not yet.

Complex answer:

Rental Shield™ is physical damage that protects the piece of equipment. Even though Rental Shield protects against the most common causes of accidents, it is not liability coverage.

However, we are in the process of building this coverage option. If you have any questions about liability coverages, please get in touch with us.

Claims Process:

  1. Inform our Rental Shield™ team.
  2. Inform the dealer of the damaged equipment.
  3. Fill out the loss report provided by us.
  4. Pay the deductible (and any repairs not covered by Rental Shield™).
  5. Sit back and let us take care of the rest!

Our claims advocates work hard so that you don’t have to. We take care of the paperwork so you can get back to work.

Simple answer:

Don’t panic. We can change the certificate of insurance.

Complex answer:

Sometimes the equipment dealer will unexpectedly deliver a piece of equipment to you that is different from the one that you obtained coverage for.

In this instance, just call 1 (512) 866-7651 (option 2) and tell us the new information (make/model/serial number).

As soon as we deliver the COI to you, the equipment will be officially covered by Rental Shield.

* Please do not use the equipment until you have an updated certificate of insurance. The serial number that is on the certificate will be the only machine covered by Rental Shield.
