A Letter from Chairman of Tent Rental Division
New Member Benefits - April 2008

The Tent Rental Division (TRD) Steering Committee constantly works to develop solutions to our members’ needs. Two issues that have been top of mind lately are insurance and training.

Rental companies need insurance to cover their products and liability in case of injury—an important concern whenever working with the public. To meet this need, the TRD has partnered with National Insurance Specialists and The Hartford to provide high quality, customized insurance solutions for U.S. member companies. The program is designed especially for equipment and party rental businesses, and offers to cover: Tents and equipment, property, general liability, commercial auto and umbrella insurance.

Through the partnership, National Insurance Specialists will waive a company’s deductibles on all equipment items exceeding their policy deductible when registered with the National Equipment Register through The Hartford. The Harford participation with NER will result in a 20% discount for registering the company’s product.

The insurance partnership offers industry expertise with agents located across the United States, provides all lines of insurance to member companies, bridges understanding of the tent rental industry to the insurance industry, and customizes programs for tent rental businesses.

If you “Stake your Future” on your company staff, consider participating in Training for the Tent Installer workshops to enhance employees’ knowledge and skills in practicing safety for themselves and the public. Participants learn the tent installation profession and their vital role in the success of a tent rental company. Two Training for the Tent Installer workshops have been received successfully by member companies. Upcoming workshops are scheduled for April 29 in Minneapolis, Minn.; November 4 in Providence, R.I.; and Jan. 19, 2009 in West Palm Beach, Fla. during IFAI Tent Expo 2009.
