If you’re using your own insurance policy to rent gear on ShareGrid, you’ll need to verify your coverage first. ShareGrid requires specific details on your Certificate of Insurance (COI) to ensure a secure rental experience.

Follow these simple steps to verify your policy and troubleshoot common issues.

Step 1: Know What ShareGrid Requires

To be approved, your COI must include:

  • Off-Premises Business Personal Property Coverage: This shows you’re covered when renting gear.

  • Active Policy Dates: Your policy must be up to date.

Step 2: Submit Your Certificate of Insurance (COI)

  • Request a COI from your insurance provider. If needed, ask for an “Evidence of Property Coverage” certificate.

  • Make sure the COI includes:

    • The off-premises coverage limit.

    • Optional: If your provider (e.g., Hiscox) requires authorized parties, list ShareGrid.

  • Have the provider email the COI to:
    insurance@sharegrid.com

    • Using the following address:
      ShareGrid Platforms, LLC
      72 Seneca St, Suite 17
      Seattle, WA 98101
      (888) 318-4695

Step 3: Troubleshoot Common Issues

If your insurance isn’t approved, it’s usually due to:

  • Missing off-premises coverage

  • ShareGrid not listed as an authorized party (required by some insurers)

What to do:

  • Contact your provider and request a revised COI with:

    • Clear off-premises business personal property coverage

    • ShareGrid listed as an authorized party (if needed)

  • Have them resend it to insurance@sharegrid.com

Your policy won’t be approved until this information is included.

📝 Final Tips

  • Verifying your insurance ahead of time helps avoid delays in renting gear.
