Speedy Shield Terms and Conditions

Speedy Shield

Speedy Shield is our damage waiver product and where purchased provides the waiver of an initial damage value as set out below. The waiver operates as a variation to our Standard Terms and Conditions which will mean that whilst you still remain responsible for our Equipment during the period of hire, depending on the cover chosen, an initial amount of any damage to our Equipment will be waived by Speedy. Speedy Shield will apply to all eligible Equipment detailed below. You will still have to pay any balance over the damage waiver value. The damage waiver is not an insurance policy and operates subject to the limitations and conditions below. Please read these carefully.
