Protect Rental Equipment. Simplify Transactions.
An operational risk and rental protection solution designed specifically for construction equipment dealers, rental companies, and heavy equipment operations. Backed by Great American Insurance Group Specialty Equipment programs.
The Friction in Equipment Rentals
Most equipment dealers and rental operations face constant friction at the rental counter. The process of verifying coverage delays transactions and leaves assets exposed.
Verifying Renter Insurance
Chasing down certificates of insurance and verifying third-party coverage limits slows down the rental process.
Protecting Expensive Assets
Handing over high-value construction equipment to third parties creates significant financial exposure for your operation.
Delayed Transactions
Waiting for insurance approvals means equipment sits idle when it could be generating revenue on a job site.
Uninsured Renters and Damage Exposure
Renters arriving without adequate coverage or causing damage that is not fully covered by their underlying policy.
The Solution: Point-of-Sale Protection
Our Equipment Rental Protection Program eliminates this friction. By offering a Rental Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) directly at the point of sale, you can protect your assets, simplify the rental transaction, and improve the customer experience - all while reducing the need for customers to provide complex proof of insurance.

Why TrueGuard Insurance
We are not a general insurance agency quoting basic equipment policies. We are a specialty commercial broker focused on dealership and equipment rental programs.

Critical Coverages for Rental Yards
Standard property insurance leaves massive gaps for rental operations. We close them.
Loss of Use (Rental Income)
Protecting Your Cash Flow
When a $150,000 excavator is destroyed, the physical damage coverage replaces the machine. But what about the $5,000/month in rental income you lose while waiting 6 months for a replacement to be delivered?
Voluntary Parting (Conversion)
Protecting Against Fraud
A "customer" rents a skid steer using a stolen credit card and fake ID. They drive it off your lot and you never see it again. Standard theft policies DENY this claim because you voluntarily handed over the keys.
