We receive no incentives or commissions of any kind for recommendations. Insurance companies don’t tend to work that way.
We recommend them because we know they can get you started easily, quickly, and really help you out for securely/legally profiting this summer.
A few things to first consider wherever you get your insurance:
- FAQ (how much): Whatever you are paying for your standard coverage, assume you would pay roughly 1.5-2x more for this kind of commercial coverage. With the legal peace of mind & profits you will get, it is well worth the cost of doing business.
- FAQ (why create a business entity): You have to setup a ‘rental business’ to comply with new Transport Canada regulations/directives in 2022, and be eligible for any rental insurance. Thankfully however, setting up a business/incorporating takes a few hours and is entirely done online through your Province’s website (due to COVID changes in 2020, online is an option vs mail or in person).
- FAQ (do you only accept Gifford Carr): No, at AnchorsBook we accept any valid watercraft commercial rental insurance policy, regardless of provider. We recommend GC, however, because we use them personally, and know they can offer the right policy at great turnaround and price.
