What is Tools & Equipment insurance?

Your tools and equipment are essential to running your business. If they are stolen, lost or damaged, this coverage will get you back to work fast by paying for replacements or repairs.

Make sure your gear is protected all the time, everywhere — including in your vehicle, stored in a trailer or at a job site.

Tools and equipment insurance is available as an add-on to our general liability insurance for contractors.

 

From power tools to safety supplies, if it’s essential to your work, it’s essential to protect it.

Damaged equipment

Gone too soon — the pump on your pressure washer gives out five days after the warranty expires.

Stolen tools

You treat your crew to lunch, but come back to a trailer full of missing tools. Karma fail!

Borrowed gear

A compressor you borrowed from another contractor explodes out of nowhere.

NEXT Insurance reviews

I am so excited
I am totally excited about my new insurance for my small business. I am happy that the price was in a range that I can afford, the terms were easy to understand and it was so simple to purchase my first policy. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Easiest insurance purchase – EVER!
I was looking around trying to compare insurance and I am so lucky I found NEXT. I was able to compare levels of coverage, and all the options, without pressure from a salesperson or time limits. I was able to check out prices and it was more coverage for less than the “traditional” company I looked at.

Happy small business owner!
I needed liability insurance for my new small business brick & mortar location. I got the run around from another company, but NEXT provided a competitive insurance quote in a timely manner. I now have the insurance that I need and it was stress-free!
