Understanding your coverage options and how to handle a damage claim are vital parts of the rental process on ShareGrid. Here's a guide to help you manage these situations effectively:

Each option has specific protocols for addressing claims, tailored to different needs and rental durations.
Steps to Addressing a Damage Claim:
Incident Reporting:
Once damage is reported, the Renter and Owner receive an Incident Form and instructions for the next steps. Submitting this form does not imply guilt but starts the investigation process.
Categories of Coverage:
ShareGrid-Serviced Coverage: Includes Damage Only and Damage + Theft options, acting as damage waivers.
Insurance Coverage: Managed by the respective insurance companies, including short-term, annual, and third-party policies.
Filing a Claim:
Coverage Claim: Directly work with ShareGrid's Claims team for Damage Only and Damage + Theft issues.
Insurance Claim: Coordinate with your insurance provider; ShareGrid will assist you by providing the necessary rental documentation.
Potential Legal Implications: If disputes remain unresolved, equipment owners may pursue legal action, such as small claims court, to recover damages.
