Why choose Jensten Insurance Brokers Ilkeston?

As CPA members, we understand the needs of digger, mini digger, and micro digger users. Our team of specialists can offer you independent advice and arrange cover suited to your requirements and budget. We can also arrange Digger Insurance as a standalone policy and not just as an add-on to public liability policy, as some brokers do.

To help you get the Digger Insurance that’s right for you, here are our Digger Insurance FAQs. We hope they will be of use, but if you’d like some more help, please call 0115 672 5661.

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.

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.

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.

No, unless you want to drive it on public roads, in which case you will need road risks cover.

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.

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.
