Dry Hire Insurance Offers two Types of Coverage: Subrogation & Damage Waiver

Subrogation entails that the hirer assumes responsibility for any loss or damage incurred while the equipment is in their possession, as outlined in the terms and conditions of the hire agreement. Should the hirer inadvertently damage the machinery, the insurer will facilitate repairs and subsequently invoice the hirer for the incurred costs.

On the other hand, a damage waiver clause added to the insurance policy provides comprehensive coverage for both the hirer and the owner. In this scenario, if the hirer unintentionally damages the equipment, the insurer covers the repair expenses, and no bill is forwarded to the hirer. However, it’s crucial to ensure that the hire agreement explicitly includes a damage waiver clause, specifying that the hirer will be protected under the owner’s insurance policy.

Now, let’s explore the advantages and disadvantages of each option:

Subrogation

Pros: The owner remains covered under the insurance policy, reducing the overall risk and potentially lowering premiums. Additionally, any claims made by the hirer are less likely to impact the owner’s insurance history.
Cons: The hirer is not covered under the policy, which could lead to potential financial liabilities for the hirer in the event of damage or loss.

Damage Waiver

Pros: Provides comprehensive coverage for both the hirer and the owner, offering peace of mind and protection against unexpected expenses. This option is particularly beneficial for individual hirers, such as small businesses or individuals, who may find it challenging to arrange their own insurance.
Cons: Typically, this option comes at a higher premium, increasing the overall cost of the insurance policy.
