Assets and Insurance
The equipment has been stolen/damaged, what do I do?
If the equipment is covered by our Asset Protection Programme then please call 08000 032 0520 and they will manage the whole process for free.
If you don’t have this cover it is your responsibility under the terms of your agreement to insure the equipment on a fully comprehensive basis.
If you need to make a claim, please contact our Portfolio Management Team immediately by email [email protected].
You’ll also have to inform your insurance company that the claim needs to be paid direct to Asset Advantage.
We will refund any surplus to you, but if the proceeds don’t cover the outstanding balance on your agreement you will need to pay the shortfall. Until the agreement has been settled in full you will need to continue paying your rentals.
