ShareGrid’s "Damage Only" provides an affordable option to add a damage waiver for functional damage during the rental. It specifically targets items with a replacement value of up to $6,000, making it perfect for less costly rentals.
What's it for?
Functional Damage: This option applies to damage that impacts the equipment’s functionality, meaning the item no longer works as intended because of an incident that occurred while it was rented.
Eligibility: This damage waiver option is available for most listings with a replacement value of up to $6,000. "Damage Only" limits vary. For more details, please see the "Account Limits" support article.
Exclusions: This option does not apply towards cosmetic damage, such as minor blemishes or scratches, nor does it include normal wear and tear.
Fee details if damages occur:
Rate: The renter, not the owner, is responsible for a 12% fee if there is rental damage. The 12% fee is calculated based on the replacement value listed on the rental's listing.
Example: If you rent an item valued at $1,500 and it incurs eligible damage, your fee would be $180.
Finding Replacement Value: The replacement value can be found in the 'Specs' section of the listing page, during the checkout process, on the rental invoice, and within the rental confirmation and communication threads.
Important Exclusions:
Review: All damage incidents are subject to a comprehensive review by ShareGrid.
Wear and Tear: Damages such as scratches or dents resulting from regular use are not eligible.
Renter Negligence: Any damage resulting from the renter's negligence is also excluded.
