Who needs Digger Insurance?
If you’re using a digger to do excavation work, be that on a construction site or private property, you’d be wise to have Digger Insurance in place. It can protect the equipment you are using – be it owned or hired-in – and can even cover you from compensation claims for injury or damage to someone’s property if you include public liability cover as part of your policy.
Why use a broker for your Digger Insurance?
Using an independent broker such as Jensten Insurance Brokers Ilkeston for your Digger Insurance quote has several advantages. Being independent, we aren’t tied to any one insurer and can give you impartial advice on what you need and then do the comparison for you. We can also find cover for a wide range of excavation equipment, including diggers, mini diggers, and micro diggers.
Do I need to insure a hired mini-digger?
It depends. Some rental agreements come with cover for theft or damage. Generally, this cover doesn’t extend to more than that, so if you have any specific requirements – to drive it on public roads or to protect yourself from potential public liability issues, for example, then you’d be wise to get a Digger Insurance policy.
Is Digger Insurance a legal requirement?
No, unless you want to drive it on public roads, in which case you will need road risks cover.
Do I need a licence to drive a digger?
No, there’s no special licence required to drive a digger, but if you want to drive it on a public road, you will need a driving licence.
Does Digger Insurance cover hire charges?
If any hired-in plant is damaged or stolen, you’ll usually be liable to continue paying the hire charges for the item in question, even if it is no longer used by you. In most instances, these charges will be covered for 90 days, but it’s always worth checking the policy.
