renting a truck...liability? Sat, 04/2/11 1:27 PM (permalink)
I am trying to rent a food truck from someone but they are concerned about liability. is there some kind of contract or agreement that will protect the owner from liability? I have a company and gen. liability insurance policy. he only has insurance on the vehicle.

      Are you able to be bonded? That may be your only recourse. If you are clean, it should not be that difficult to do, and will protect the owner of the wagon. Here is a simple explanation http://www.bargaineering....-licensed-insured.html

        i figured i would update this as i got an answer from a lawyer and an insurance agent.figure maybe someone might find this info useful.
         
        essentially the food truck owner would have to issue me a 1099 for which we could write any sort of agreement we wanted even if it involved me paying him for use of the truck. as long as i am technically his employee (or contractor ) this would cover me under his policy, in conjunction with my own general liability. the only other way would be to have a long-term lease where the title of the truck is actually put in my name with his name as the lessee. since we only wanted it set up so that i could rent it on nights and weekends that would be way too much work
