Here's a topic work discussing. I would imagine all owner/operators carry both liability and equipment insurance for their own businesses. Reciently I've noticed there are quite a few owner/operators who rent their equipment to independent operators. What type of liability insurance are these freelance operators providing to the prospective production companies and to the owners who rent the equipment? Also are the owner/operators who rent out their jibs providing equipment insurance in the event of equipment failure or damage? Are those hiring production companies aware that some of those operators might be working without insurance?
I seem to be coming across this more and more and I wonder how one can safely rent out their gear (second or third jibs) without putting themselves in legal jeopardy.
How do some of you guys properly rent out equipment only?
