Do I need insurance to hire equipment?
Hired-in plant insurance is mandatory to hire from AHS.
Yes — Hired‑in Plant insurance is mandatory. You are responsible for the equipment for the duration of the hire. Your policy must cover loss, theft, accidental damage and continuing hire charges up to the full replacement value.
Proof of insurance will be required before release. Deposits (where taken) do not replace insurance. If equipment is lost, stolen or damaged, notify AHS immediately; for theft, obtain a police crime reference number. Charges continue until off‑hire is confirmed and collection is arranged. For any questions about insurance requirements please email support@ahs-pi.co.uk.
