Coverage

Tools and Equipment Insurance for Contractors

Your tools travel with you, and a general liability policy is not designed to cover your own property. Tools and equipment coverage — often written as an inland marine or contractor's equipment floater — can cover your gear on job sites, in transit, and in storage, subject to the policy terms.

What it may help with

Subject to the actual policy or bond form, its terms, limits, and exclusions.

  • Theft or damage to listed equipment or blanket tools while at a job site or in transit, as described in the policy.
  • Scheduled coverage for higher-value items such as lifts, generators, or diagnostic equipment.
  • Rented or leased equipment, where included or endorsed.

Keep in mind

  • Theft from unattended vehicles may carry conditions, such as the vehicle being locked with signs of forced entry.
  • Policies differ on replacement cost versus actual cash value. Ask which one applies.
  • Per-item limits on unscheduled tools are common. Higher-value items often need to be listed individually.

Questions we'll review with you

  • What is the approximate total value of your tools and equipment?
  • Are there individual items worth more than a few thousand dollars?
  • Where are tools stored overnight?
  • Do you rent equipment for jobs?

Coverage availability, eligibility, limits, and pricing are subject to underwriting and policy terms. Requesting a quote does not bind coverage.
