Insurance Information

1. Overview

This page explains how insurance works when you rent equipment from FarmEquipment Rentals, 133 Clearview Drive, Reinfeld, Manitoba R6W 4A1, Canada. Because coverage requirements vary by equipment type, rental length, and how the equipment will be used, we confirm the specific insurance details with you when your reservation is confirmed.

2. Renter responsibility

• While equipment is in your possession, you are responsible for loss, theft, or damage beyond normal wear and tear, as set out in our Damage Policy.
• Depending on the equipment and rental, we may require you to hold valid insurance that covers the equipment's repair or replacement value and any third-party liability arising from its use.
• You are responsible for ensuring the equipment is operated safely, lawfully, and only by competent persons — this is often a condition of insurance coverage.

3. Proof of insurance

For certain rentals, we may ask you to provide proof of insurance before the equipment is released — for example, a certificate of insurance from your farm, business, or equipment policy. Where required, this will be communicated to you during the confirmation of your reservation.

4. Existing coverage you may already have

Many farms and contracting businesses already carry insurance that can extend to rented equipment, such as a farm policy, commercial general liability policy, or equipment floater. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about coverage for rented machinery before your rental begins. If you're unsure, your broker can confirm whether your policy covers rented equipment and to what limit.

5. Optional damage waivers

For some rentals we may offer an optional damage waiver or protection option that can reduce your financial responsibility for accidental damage, subject to its own terms and exclusions (for example, it typically will not cover misuse, neglect, or unsafe operation). Where available, details and cost will be provided at the time of booking.

6. What insurance does not replace

Insurance and any optional waiver do not remove your responsibility to use the equipment properly and safely. Damage caused by misuse, neglect, operating outside intended use, or ignoring safety instructions remains your responsibility, as described in our Damage Policy.
