Tools & Equipment Insurance

Covers repairing or replacing your tools, diagnostic gear, and portable equipment if they are lost, stolen, or accidentally damaged at work or in transit.

Tools & Equipment for mechanics and the motor trade

About This Cover

Your tools are your trade. Without them you cannot work, and replacing quality equipment at short notice is expensive, disruptive, and can cost you jobs.

Tools & Equipment insurance protects the gear you rely on every day against theft, accidental loss, and damage, so a stolen toolbox or a smashed diagnostic unit does not mean days of downtime. Cover extends to tools and equipment both on your premises and in transit, because your kit does not stay in one place.

Whether your equipment is stored in your workshop, locked in your van, or taken to an offsite job, it can be protected. Agreed value options are also available, so there is no dispute about what your gear is worth when you need to make a claim.

  • Theft, loss, and accidental damage to tools and equipment
  • Cover on your premises, in transit, and at offsite job sites
