What Is Portable Site Office Insurance?
Portable site office insurance is a type of business insurance that may assist businesses that own, hire or manage portable buildings used across commercial projects and temporary worksites. This may include portable site offices, mobile offices, transportable buildings, site accommodation units and commercial site caravans.
Depending on the insurer and policy selected, cover may be available for accidental damage, theft, transit, liability and other risks associated with owning and hiring these assets. Our experienced brokers take the time to understand how your portable buildings are owned, hired and managed before helping you compare available insurance options.
Do You Need Portable Site Office Insurance?
If your business owns, hires or manages portable site offices, transportable buildings or temporary site accommodation, portable site office insurance may be worth considering. Businesses supplying these assets can face a range of risks while buildings are stored, transported, installed or on hire at customer sites.
Standard business insurance may not provide cover for all hire-related risks or damage involving portable buildings. Reviewing your insurance arrangements with a specialist broker can help you identify cover options that reflect the way your business operates and the assets you manage.
