Protecting Your Rental Equipment
Damage Waiver Coverage The Damage Waiver covers damage to The Eagle Leasing Company(“Eagle”) rental equipment (“Equipment”) from theft, forced entry, attempted forced entry, earthquake, hail, windstorm, hurricane, and tornado, provided that you comply with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. For the Damage Waiver to cover damage or loss from theft, forced entry, or attempted forced entry, you must (1) take reasonable precautions against such theft, forced entry, or attempted forced entry, (2) notify Eagle of such event within three business days of your first knowledge of such event and (3) deliver to Eagle a copy of the police report documenting such event within 30 days of your first knowledge of such event.
Damage Waiver Benefits:
- Limited Protection from damage to Equipment you have rented
- Reduction of insurance claims reported to your insurance company, which minimizes your company’s loss experience record.
- Lower deductible limits than many insurance policies
- Saves time associated with obtaining the proper insurance certificate
The Damage Waiver is not insurance. The Damage Waiver does not protect you from liability to others or Eagle arising out of possession, use, operation, or transport of Equipment rented from Eagle, nor does it cover loss of or damage to any Equipment contents.
You will be charged for the Damage Waiver unless you provide evidence of insurance: The Damage Waiver will be charged for each rental period unless you decline the Damage Waiver in writing and deliver to Eagle a certificate of insurance from an insurance company acceptable to Eagle, meeting all of the following requirements: (1) coverage in the minimum amounts of $25,000 for property damage per unit of Equipment you rent and, for trailers only, $1,000,000 combined single limit coverage per accident for personal injury and property damage, (2) “Eagle Leasing Company” must be named as an additional insured and loss payee with respect to all Equipment you rent, (3) the insurance policy is primary and any other insurance maintained by Eagle is excess to the insurance you provide and shall not contribute to losses or damage covered under the insurance policy you provide and (4) the policy must provide for at least 30 days written notice to Eagle before cancellation of the insurance policy can be completed. If effective insurance is not maintained with Eagle, you will be charged the Damage Waiver even if you produce a certificate of insurance at a later date.
The Damage Waiver limits your responsibility for certain types of damage. Providing you purchase the Damage Waiver and comply with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement, and providing that the damage to the Equipment is covered by the Damage Waiver, your responsibility for the damage would be limited to the following amounts per unit:
Storage Containers: $250.00
Storage Trailers: $500.00
Office Containers & Trailers: $1,000.00
Damage Waiver Price. The price of the Damage Waiver is set forth in your rental agreement with Eagle and is subject to change without notice.
