Equipment Protection

Rent with less on the line.

Accidents happen on a jobsite. T.E.S. Equipment Protection covers the first $750 (Protected) or $2,500 (All-In) of accidental damage repair, so a small mistake doesn’t come straight out of your pocket.

How much you’re covered for

Two levels of protection

Equipment Protection comes with our Protected and All-In rental options. Your coverage level sets how much accidental damage repair T.E.S. covers during normal use, up to $750 or $2,500.

Standard Rental
Fullliability is yours
No Equipment Protection. If the machine is damaged, you’re responsible for the full cost of repair.
Protected Rental
$750covered on accidental damage
T.E.S. covers accidental damage repair up to $750 during normal use. Cleaning is included, too.
All-In Rental
$2,500covered on accidental damage
The highest protection we offer: accidental damage repair covered up to $2,500, plus cleaning, more hours, and delivery within radius.

Example: a Protected rental takes $1,900 in covered accidental damage. T.E.S. covers the first $750; you cover the remaining $1,150. On a Standard rental, the full $1,900 is yours.

What is T.E.S. Equipment Protection?

Equipment Protection is optional coverage you can add to your rental by choosing a Protected or All-In rental option. It covers the cost of accidental damage to the machine during normal use, up to the coverage cap for your rental level ($750 or $2,500). T.E.S. absorbs repair costs within your cap, and anything above it is your responsibility. It’s about predictability: you know exactly how much accidental damage is covered before the machine ever leaves the yard.

How does it work?

If covered accidental damage happens during normal use, T.E.S. covers the repair up to your cap ($750 on a Protected rental, $2,500 on an All-In rental) and you pay nothing within it. Repair costs above the cap are your responsibility. Report any damage within 24 hours so we can assess it and get the machine back in service quickly.

On-site service calls

Protected and All-In rentals include your first on-site service call at no extra charge. If a track comes off or the machine needs a field repair, we come to you, and that first visit, including travel time, is covered. On a Standard rental, on-site service calls are billed at our standard shop rate.

Risk reduction, not risk elimination. Equipment Protection covers a set amount of accidental damage repair, not every loss. It is not blanket coverage. The exclusions below still apply, and this is not an insurance policy.

What if I don’t take it?

On a Standard rental there’s no coverage: you’re responsible for the full cost of any damage to the machine, a cleaning fee if it’s returned dirty, and fuel and delivery on standard terms. For many renters, having the first $750 or $2,500 of accidental damage covered is the easier way to rent.

What is not covered?

Equipment Protection covers accidental damage during normal use. It does not cover:

  • Total loss
  • Damage from negligence or abuse
  • Glass, tires, and broken or damaged teeth or blades
  • Fluids lost due to damage
  • Downtime rental fees during repair
  • Theft, loss, and misuse
This is not an insurance policy. Equipment Protection is a contractual agreement by T.E.S. to cover accidental damage repair up to the amount for your rental level, not insurance, and not a guarantee against every loss.
