Hire plant cover

You may not own the contractors plant used for your work but may instead have chosen to hire in plant. If this is the case, it's important that you build hire plant cover into your contractors insurance policy. This will offer you protection should an accident occur at work that results in any part of your hired plant being damaged. The costs of rectifying the damage or replacing hired in plant could be extremely high. Building hire plant cover into your contractors insurance policy is therefore an extremely good idea – and you'll find it at extremely attractive prices on our easy-to-use site.

When purchasing hire plant cover – as with any type of insurance – you should check the policy schedule to check exactly what you're covered for. The contractor's insurance policies you'll find on our site will offer you generous amounts of hired-in plant cover as an optional extra. All risks cover is available and applies to tools, constructional machinery and site huts or caravans on the contract site or near to it. The cover also applies to hired plant when in transit (within territorial limits detailed in the schedule). Legal costs can also be covered in this part of your contractors insurance policy and continuing hire charges up to £50,000 (though this may exclude the first 48 hours. Check policy document to make sure). All these features and more are included in the hired-in plant cover you can purchase through our site, so you'll be able to work in the peace of mind that should the plant equipment you're using be damaged as the result of work-related accident you won't have to meet the repair/replacement or associated legal costs yourself. Please ensure you check the policy wording as different insurers hire plant cover may vary.
