All equipment rentals from Phat X Events require proof of insurance covering the full replacement value of the rented gear for the entire rental period (including transit, use, and storage).
We partner with InsureMyEquipment.com — a specialist in production, audio, video, podcast, lighting, and event equipment insurance used by many rental houses and creators in the industry. Their online platform lets you get covered in minutes and instantly generate the Certificate of Insurance (COI) we need.
Why we require this
Insurance protects both you and our equipment. If something happens (accidental damage, theft, transit issues, etc.), the policy covers the replacement or repair cost so you’re not personally responsible for the full value of the gear.
Coverage highlights (via InsureMyEquipment Rented Equipment policy)
- Short-term policies (as short as 1 day) or annual policies for frequent renters
- Covers cameras, audio, podcast gear, lighting, grip, communications equipment, and more
- Protection against theft, accidental damage (drops, etc.), fire, water damage, transit, and other common risks
- Worldwide coverage while equipment is in your possession
- Instant Certificates of Insurance from your dashboard (24/7)
- Flexible deductibles
One policy can cover multiple rentals — just generate a separate COI for each rental house.
Note: High-value items over $150,000 must be individually scheduled. Contact InsureMyEquipment support or us if you need higher limits or special wording.
