Assurant, a global protection company that safeguards and services connected devices, homes and automobiles in partnership with various brands, formed a partnership with Evident, a provider of AI-powered rental insurance verification solutions. Together, these companies are introducing an end-to-end risk management solution for the commercial equipment rental industry, combining world-class automation with proven protection.
This joint offering is designed to enable rental companies and dealers to instantly verify insurance coverage, flag non-compliant policies before equipment leaves the yard and enroll uninsured or underinsured renters in Assurant-backed protection programs.
“We’re proud to team up with Evident to offer rental companies and their customers a smarter, streamlined path to risk protection, while unlocking new revenue opportunities for dealers,” Mike Medeiros, vice president of commercial equipment at Assurant, said. “Together, we’re setting a new benchmark for best-in-class equipment rental risk management.”
“This is more than a partnership; it’s two category leaders coming together to solve the industry’s biggest risk exposure in a smarter, more profitable way,” Justin Leslie, head of sales at Evident, said.
“As the leading insurance tracking provider for both commercial and consumer portfolios, this partnership expands our suite of tracking solutions to span leased, financed, and rental equipment,” Medeiros said. “It also enables us to deliver niche protection products designed for B2B partnerships.”
“This is about more than efficiency,” Leslie said. “It’s about delivering confidence and coverage where it matters most.”
