  • I needed a portable policy as a yoga instructor. I found this company in an online search. Called and got details from them, was quite surprised at how affordable... Read More it would be. Then when I was ready to make my purchase, I called again. Was explained to me that everything was done online, I told the lady on the phone I didn't want to make this kind of purchase online with no guidance. She was so helpful and kind and patient! Walked me thru every page of the form and honestly didn't take long at all. Hope I never need to use the policy but nice to know I have it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Vendor Insurance

The cost for vendor insurance for a 1-day event starts at $49. Optional theft and damage coverage is available for an additional $54.

Prices can vary based on the type of coverage you need, the event, and adding additional insureds to your policy.

A COI for vendors is a Certificate of Insurance and allows vendors to show proof of insurance. It contains a list of your coverages, additional insureds, limits of liability, exclusions, and more.

A COI can also be called an ACORD.

Additional insureds (AIs) for vendor liability insurance are outside entities (like event planners or venues) added to your policy who can receive coverage in the case of a claim.

An AI is not a friend, employee, another business you own, or a fellow vendor.

Vendor liability insurance covers common accidents that occur at events, such as slips and falls or property damage. Adding theft and damage coverage covers repairs and replacements of key business items you take to events.

This type of insurance is designed to help you pay for medical bills, legal fees, repair costs, and more!

You may need liability insurance for vendor events if a venue or event requires you to show proof of insurance. This shows them you have a policy that may help you cover the cost of a claim if something goes wrong and those costs won’t fall back on the event or venue.

Think of it this way: the venue you are at likely has insurance, but it doesn’t cover other people who use the property. The event planner or business hosting at the venue likely has insurance to cover them while hosting events, but it doesn’t always cover vendors who attend. This means you have to get your own policy to cover accidents that may stem from you, your business, your booth, or your service.

Whether you’re required to have insurance or not, it’s always a good idea — you never know if unexpected weather may strike, if a customer will slip, or if your gear is going to scuff up a venue’s floors.

As the common phrase goes, “It’s better to be safe than sorry!”
