ShareGrid lets you use your own third-party insurance or a policy from another party (such as a production company) to cover your rentals. This guide walks you through eligibility, uploading your policy, and completing verification.

Eligibility Checklist

Before submitting your insurance policy, confirm the following:

  • Your policy must include coverage for "rented equipment from others."

  • Policies such as homeowners’, renters’, or general liability are not accepted.

  • If you're unsure, contact your insurance provider for clarification.

Verification Process for Personal Insurance

  1. Log in to ShareGrid and upload your policy.
    For a step-by-step guide, visit: How to Verify Your Third-Party Insurance on ShareGrid.

  2. ShareGrid will contact your insurance provider to confirm:

    • Coverage limits

    • Policy effective dates

  1. Timeline: Verification takes 1–2 business days.

  2. Once approved, your policy will appear in your account with an “Insurance Verified” badge.

Using Someone Else’s Insurance (e.g., Production Company)

You can use a third-party policy, but authorization is required from the policyholder.

Steps:

  1. Sign in to ShareGrid

  2. Go to Settings > Insurance > Third Party

  3. Click Setup Third Party Insurance

  4. Fill in the required policy information and indicate that it belongs to another entity

What Happens Next:

  • The policyholder must approve your use of their insurance

  • ShareGrid will verify:

    • Coverage for rented gear

    • Policy effective dates and limits

  • Once approved, your account will show the “Insurance Verified” badge

After Verification

  • You can now use your verified insurance for rentals on ShareGrid

  • Be sure your policy stays active and covers all rented items for the full rental period
