Equipment Rental Insurance Built for Dealers
JT Bates Group helps equipment dealers reduce exposure and unlock more revenue with simple, proven insurance and protection programs.
Why JT Bates Group?
We Understand Your World
Typical Insurance Wasn't Built for Heavy Equipment Dealers
Most insurance is not built for heavy equipment rentals. That leaves costly gaps when renters and jobsites get involved.
So, We Build Insurance Around How Dealers Actually Work
We design protection that integrates into your rental process and keeps your fleet secure.

Coverage Made to Match Your Operations
Programs That Work With Your Business, Not Against It.
Our programs are built around the real challenges of heavy equipment rentals—helping you reduce risk, unlock revenue, and streamline operations.
Rental Equipment Protection (REP)
Add built-in damage coverage to your contracts and stop absorbing losses when equipment comes back damaged.
Rental Liability Protection (RLP)
Let renters without sufficient insurance sign and drive with on-the-spot liability protection that keeps everyone covered.
StraightDocs
StraightDocs proactively tracks insurance documents, pursues expiring certificates, and gives your team a clear view of risk across all locations.
Insurance Advocacy
Don't go it alone. We review your existing policies, identify weak spots, and negotiate stronger coverage on your behalf.
Which Solution Is Right For Me?
Every rental business has different needs. Whether you're scaling up, tightening risk exposure, or just tired of doing it all manually, we'll help you match your operation with the right equipment rental business insurance programs.
