Hire Secure

The HireSecure Loss or Damage Waiver scheme takes the worry out of hiring expensive equipment, giving you peace of mind every time you use our plant machinery.

Even in the most controlled working environments accidental damage can occur, leaving you to pay the cost of replacing the equipment. By investing in Damage Waiver, HireSecure will take away the worry of paying for accidental damage and cover you from having to pay for damage to hired equipment. Our Damage Waiver facility is available on all machinery hired from us.

Your damage waiver payment absorbs most repair costs to hired equipment.
Without it, you will be required to return the plant undamaged or pay the full costs of any repairs.

Damage Waiver is calculated as a percentage of your total hire charge – just 15% on the machine hire price.

HireSecure Waiver will cover accidental loss or damage, theft and vandalism/malicious damage except those specifically excluded below.

No, it is optional.
If you decide to opt. out of the waiver, we require a letter stating in advance that you will be responsible for any damage/ loss to hired equipment, together with a copy of your “Hired in Plant” insurance certificate.

No, it is not an insurance product, it is a contractual arrangement which removes your responsibility in the event of loss or damage to the hired equipment.
