ShareGrid allows users to add third-party insurance policies, such as those provided by a production company, to their account. Follow this guide for a smooth process, including adding, verifying, and implementing such policies.
Steps to Add a Third-Party Insurance Policy
If you need to add a third-party insurance policy to your ShareGrid account, such as when working with a Production Company, follow these steps:
Sign in to your ShareGrid account.
Access Settings: Click on your profile picture and select Settings.
Go to Insurance Settings: On the left-hand menu, click on Insurance.
Open the Third-Party Insurance Section: Select the Third Party tab.
Setup Third-Party Insurance: Click the button labeled Setup Third Party Insurance.
Enter Policy Details: Follow the on-screen prompts to fill in the required information about the insurance policy. You will also need to indicate that the policy belongs to another party.
Verification and Approval Process
After submitting the policy details, the ShareGrid insurance team will initiate the verification process:
Authorization Required: The third-party policyholder, such as the owner or an employee of the Production Company (not a hired freelancer), must authorize your use of their insurance policy. Without this authorization, verification cannot proceed.
Verification Checks: ShareGrid will contact the insurance provider to confirm the policy's effective dates and verify that it includes adequate coverage limits for rented equipment.
Approval Confirmation: Once the policy is verified, ShareGrid will mark it as verified on your account. A green checkmark and the text "Insurance Verified" will appear next to the policy.
Key Points to Note
Adding a third-party insurance policy is a common scenario, for instance, when collaborating on projects that involve renting equipment. This functionality allows flexibility for users who rely on their employer’s or a Production Company's insurance.
Ensuring accurate information and obtaining authorization from the policyholder expedites the verification.
FAQs
Can I add my employer's or Production Company's insurance even if I am hired for a specific role, such as a cinematographer?
Yes, regardless of your role, you can add a third-party policy as long as it aligns with the process mentioned above. Ensure that the policyholder authorizes its use for your rentals.
