Damage Waiver


Drogheda Hire & Sales - DAMAGE WAIVER PROGRAMME

WHY? 

Drogheda Hire & Sales Damage waiver programme takes the worry out of damaging or, loss of expensive equipment. 
This gives you piece of mind every time you hire our plant!

HOW DOES IS WORK? 

Your damage waiver payment absorbs the cost of repairing hired equipment and/or any cost for loss or theft up to the value of €5,000. Any loss above €5,000 will be the customers responsibility.

Without the waiver, you are required to return the plant undamaged or to pay the full cost of any repairs or loss to the hired item.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? 

The damage waiver is calculated at 15% of the weekly hire rate of the equipment on hire.

This is a recurring charge for the duration of the hire.

IS THE DAMAGE WAIVER COMPLUSORY?  

The Damage Waiver is strongly recommended, but is not compulsory.

All customers will be required to sign the Opt-in/ Opt-out form to confirm who is responsible the any damage to the hired equipment.

IS DAMAGE WAIVER AN INSURANCE?  

Damage Waiver is NOT insurance. It is simply a waiver to have the equipment returned in the same condition as when it leaves the depot.
