Are renters covered?

Yes! Renters are covered for accidental damage and accidental loss while they are using the items during their rental period. We want you to rent without worrying about what happens in case of an accident. If you experience accidental loss we may ask for documentation to prove this.

We do remind renters to take care of items, and there are cases where renters are liable. These cases include:

Non-return of or damage to items due to negligence
Non-return of items due to theft

Below we outline some conditions whereby renters remain liable. These include but are not limited to:

Negligence



Renters are always liable in cases of negligence, which we define as:

Using equipment around an open body of water that is not designated as waterproof

Use should be restricted to the specified or reasonable parameters for the item. Renters should consult Owners if they are unsure about proper use.

Examples include but are not limited to:
