Why have the worry of insuring the equipment against loss or damage whilst you have it on hire?

We offer a generous hire insurance policy for all hires* where the individual does not have the relevant insurance for the machinery in question. With us it’s simple, Champion Tool Hire will insure the equipment for the full duration of the hire period against loss, accidental damage and theft. A charge is levied against the contract up to the value of 10% of the hire charge.

It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.

* Except for diggers and dumpers where short-term insurance cover can be obtained via a third party (if required) – ask staff for details
