When do people need event coverage for a private gathering?
A policy normally isn’t needed for a typical birthday party or small get-together. If hosting a wedding, anniversary party, graduation party, large milestone birthday party, baby shower or other major event with lots of people, however, a policy might be recommended.
This shouldn’t be taken as a hard rule, but it might be wise to touch base with a knowledgeable insurance agent for any event that you’re hiring a professional caterer for. An agent who specializes in event policies will be able to help you quickly determine whether your planned festivities call for an event policy.
When an event policy is needed for a large private gathering, one-day event insurance may provide especially affordable coverage.
What coverages should event hosts look for when choosing insurance?
When insuring activities like airshows or performances involving live animals, not all policies will provide the necessary coverage. An insurance agent who specializes in event policies should be able to check terms, and find a policy that does provide the necessary coverage.
How much does it cost to insure an event lasting only one day?
One-day event insurance policies tend to have quite affordable premiums, although rates certainly can vary depending on the activities and other factors. An insurance agent who knows event policies well can assist with finding affordable one-day event insurance that still provides solid protection.
What’s an additional insured in an event policy?
An “additional insured” is generally a party added to a liability insurance policy, and usually allows them to file a claim against it despite not being the primary policyholder.
Event organizers sometimes need to list venues, major vendors, or other parties as additional insureds. This is something that an insurance agent can help with.
