KitSplit Rental Insurance Policies

Easy. Comprehensive. Affordable.

Accidents happen, but on KitSplit we make it easy to protect your gear whether you’re a renter or an owner. Exclusive to KitSplit members, our rented equipment insurance options are full-coverage and provide the best rates in the industry.

Coverage For Renters

Insurance is critical for renters - you do not want to be on the hook if an accident happens. We make it easy with the choice of three affordable coverage options:

  • KitSplit Instant Insurance

    KitSplit renters can purchase rented equipment coverage at checkout and get an instant quote and instant coverage for any rental on KitSplit. For rentals of gear valued below $20k we offer a Damage Waiver starting at $5. For rentals above $20k, we offer KitSplit Instant Insurance, an exclusive product in partnership with Heffins Insurance Group and OneBeacon. On KitSplit you'll get the best rates in the industry starting at $150. Read more about KitSplit Short-Term Insurance here.

  • Use Your Company's Existing Production Insurance

    Kitsplit renters are welcome to use their own production insurance or long-term equipment rental policy to cover rentals on KitSplit. Your policy must be current and eligible to cover the value of the gear you are renting. Upload a Certificate of Insurance (COI) that lists the equipment owner and KitSplit as the loss payee and certificate holder.

    Please note: All third party policies not purchased through KitSplit will be thoroughly evaluated by the KitSplit staff. Our team will call your insurance company to verify that insurance is valid and properly covers the equipment you’re renting.

    KitSplit can only verify COI’s Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. If you choose to use your company’s long-term equipment insurance, please be sure to upload your COI Monday-Friday before 4pm at least one business day before your rental begins.


  • Leave a Deposit for the full Value of the Equipment

    For rentals shorter than 5 days in duration, KitSplit renters can choose to leave a deposit for the value of the equipment in the form of a credit card hold. At the end of the rental, the deposit will be returned to you. This option is not available for rentals longer than 5 days in duration.
    NOTE: If your credit card limit is lower than the value of the equipment this will not be a viable option.

Coverage For Owners

We offer gear owners ultimate peace of mind. Renters’ coverage covers the gear for damage, loss, and theft from the renter. The Owner Guarantee covers owners for voluntary parting if the gear goes missing. All at no cost to the gear owner.

  • Owner Guarantee

    The KitSplit Owner Guarantee protects all KitSplit gear owners from theft and fraud on all rentals of gear worth up to $20,000 - at no additional cost. KitSplit will cover the costs in the rare case (0.02% chance) that gear goes missing. It makes KitSplit the only rental platform to cover owners in all scenarios, whether damage, loss or theft.
