For orders with a total replacement value exceeding $1,000, we require proof of insurance stating that Maritime Lens and Equipment Rental Ltd. will be reimbursed for the full replacement cost of the item.If your rental exceeds
two weeks, insurance will be required
regardless of the item’s value. Alternatively, the insurance requirement may be waived
only if the
full replacement value is left as a deposit. we require that you obtain
independent short-term rental insurance. In some cases, even if your order is below this threshold, we may still request independent insurance based on the nature of the equipment or project.
We will need a
Certificate of Insurance (COI) covering
rented production equipment for
at least the full replacement value of the items on your order. The certificate must name
Maritime Lens and Equipment Rental as an
additional loss payee.
Short-term equipment rental insurance can be purchased through
third-party providers such as:

no affiliation with any insurance providers, and we encourage you to
do your research before purchasing coverage.
If you have your
own insurance, we’re happy to accept that—just be sure your policy specifically covers
rented equipment and that you can provide proof.
Please understand that, due to the nature of our business,
we cannot wait for insurance companies to process claims or payments. In the event of damage or loss, we will work
directly with the renter to settle any financial obligations
immediately.
We enforce these requirements because
high-value equipment is often at risk of
theft or loss on busy sets, and the potential cost of replacement can be more than most people can cover out of pocket. Insurance provides peace of mind for both parties and helps ensure that everyone is protected.
