How It Works
1. Select your protection when building your rental quote. The fee is calculated as a percentage of your equipment rental total.
2. If something happens, report any damage or loss immediately upon return. We will inspect the equipment and assess the situation.
3. Your liability is capped.With GLM Shield, you pay at most 10% of the item's replacement value instead of the full repair or replacement cost.
Example
You rent a monitor with a $1,500 replacement value for 2 days at $150/day. You add GLM Shield for $45 (15% of $300).
During the shoot, the screen gets cracked. Repair cost: $400.

Third-Party Insurance
Already have production insurance? We accept Certificates of Insurance (COI) naming GLM as additional insured. A COI is required for rentals with a total replacement value over $5,000. Contact us to submit your COI before your rental.
GLM Shield is a damage waiver, not an insurance policy. See our full rental terms and conditions for complete details. Contact us at intake@gearedlikeamachine.com with any questions.
