Insurance built for the rental business.

Equipment and event rental companies carry exposures that standard commercial policies weren't designed for. We've spent decades learning your business — and building coverage that actually fits it.

Coverage

What we write.

Two types of rental businesses, two distinct risk profiles. We know both inside and out.

Equipment Rental

Your fleet earns its keep in someone else's hands — on job sites, in conditions you didn't choose, operated by people you didn't train. We place coverage built for exactly that.

  • Aerial & scissor lifts
  • Earthmoving & excavation equipment
  • Generators & power equipment
  • Compressors & pneumatic tools
  • Light towers & temporary power
  • Tool & light equipment fleets
  • Delivery & transport vehicles
  • Dealer & rental yard property

Event Rental

Tents come down in the wind. Staging collapses. Crowds create liability. Event rental coverage has to account for what happens after the truck leaves your yard.

  • Tents & temporary structures
  • Staging, risers & flooring
  • Tables, chairs, linens & china
  • Inflatables & amusement attractions
  • AV, lighting & production gear
  • Setup, delivery & teardown crews
  • Venue liability exposure
  • Weather-related cancellation

Why Goza

More than a broker.

Any agent can place a policy. We show up when the policy matters — and before it does.

Small business advocates

We treat your business like our own. That means understanding your operation, your contracts, and your exposures — not just your premium.

Industry-informed

We stay current on legislation and regulatory changes that affect rental businesses across the Gulf South — so you're not caught off guard when something shifts.

Contract review

Before you sign a rental agreement or accept an additional-insured request, we read it. We make sure your coverage matches what you've promised.

Claims advocacy

When something goes wrong, you call us — not an 800 number. We work the claim on your behalf, with the carrier relationships to get it moving.

Independent agency

We're appointed with multiple A-rated carriers. We shop your account and bring you the market's best terms — not one company's only offer.

Owner-operated

When you call, you reach an owner. A father-and-son agency with no call centers, no handoffs, and no strangers handling your account.

25+
Years with ARA

Gates Goza has been active with the American Rental Association for over 25 years — attending national shows, state meetings, and staying embedded in the industry we serve.

Industry involvement

We're in the room.

Most insurance agents learn about the rental industry from a brochure. We learn from showing up — at ARA national conventions, state association meetings, and the conversations that happen between sessions.

That means when something changes in your industry — a new liability trend, a shift in how courts treat rental agreements, a carrier pulling back on a class — we know about it before it affects your coverage.

It also means we know people. When you have a coverage question that doesn't have an easy answer, we have the network to find one.

How it works

Getting quoted is straightforward.

We don't make you fill out a 40-question application before we'll talk to you.
