Short-term insurance on ShareGrid—provided by Athos Insurance—is a flexible option that allows you to cover multiple rental items (even across non-consecutive dates) under a single policy. Here’s how to make the most of it.
How to Use Short-Term Insurance for Multiple Rentals
1. Add Items to Your Cart
Browse ShareGrid and add all the gear you want to rent.
2. Set Rental Dates
Use the rental calendar to select the pick-up and return dates for each item.
3. Calculate Total Replacement Value
Add up the Replacement Values listed for each item.
Your insurance coverage must equal or exceed this total.
4. Complete Short-Term Insurance Application
Go to: Profile > Settings > Insurance > Short-Term Insurance
Enter your rental dates and view available coverage and pricing.
Complete the application, making sure the coverage limit is sufficient for all items combined.
Confirm the policy dates fully cover your rental period (from pick-up to return).
5. Apply Insurance at Checkout
During checkout, select your Short-Term Insurance policy.
Submit your rental request.
Note: Payment is processed once the owner accepts the rental request. Short-term policies are non-refundable.
Please note that you cannot purchase Shot-Term Insurance without booking a rental on ShareGrid. If you want to buy Shot-Term Insurance without a rental, please do so on Athos Insurance's website.
Adding More Rentals to Your Policy
You can rent additional items as long as:
The new items are within your policy dates
The combined value does not exceed your coverage limit
A Certificate of Insurance (COI) will be automatically sent to each owner included in your rentals.
Covering Non-Consecutive Rental Dates
You can use one short-term policy to cover non-consecutive dates if:
All dates fall within the policy’s active coverage window
If the dates are outside your current policy, you’ll need to purchase a separate policy.
Important Notes
Short-term insurance premiums and fees are non-refundable
