About the Owner Guarantee

Our Owner Guarantee covers UK owners against non-return and damages for up to £25,000 per item. US owners are covered against non-return and damages for up to $30,000 USD per item. Canadian owners are covered against non-return and damages for up to $40,000 CAN per item There's no excess for claims made on the Owner Guarantee.

Please note, if you have your own commercial insurance, you'll be required to claim on this before you claim on the Fat Llama Owner Guarantee. If your commercial insurance won't cover it, or your claim is rejected for any reason, you can claim on the Fat Llama Owner Guarantee. We also do not pay out for VAT if you are a VAT registered user.

Am I covered if the Renter decides not to return the item?



Yes. When we say we cover owners against non-return, we mean it.

As per our Terms of Service, renters who fail to return an item are liable to pay the full replacement cost of the item, depending on the circumstances of the non-return. Regardless of the circumstances, in the event that the renter is not cooperating and this payment is delayed, a claim may be made on the Owner Guarantee

If a claim is successful, you will be compensated for the cost of repair, replacement or the original value, whichever is less.

Is there anything I'm not covered for?
