Single Day Coverage

Single-day vendor coverage includes General Liability Insurance, plus a few extra coverages to keep you safe at your event.

It also gives you up to three days of coverage, making it perfect for covering you during set-up and take-down time that sometimes occurs the day before or after the event.

Where You're Covered

Don’t see the type of event you’re attending? No worries! We cover vendors at most popular events and locations. 

Our base policy cannot cover vendors at martial arts events, narcotic-related events, political rallies or demonstrations, sporting events, or weapon, knife, and ammunition-related events. Learn more about special coverage for CBD event vendors here.

What Types of Vendors Qualify

Our basic vendor policy covers most people and businesses working at shows, events, festivals, and more. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, please contact our team!

Additional Insureds for One-Day Vendor Insurance Policies

Need to add an additional insured to your vendor insurance policy? No problem! We make adding another business to your plan free and easy (or add unlimited additional insureds for a small fee).

Additional insureds are another person, organization, or entity that could be covered by your policy if you’re responsible for an accident at their event or on their property. 

Additional insureds are typically event planners, venues, cities, or property managers. They cannot include you, other businesses you own, friends or family, employees, or other vendors.
