Essential Liquor Liability Coverage

Depending on your local dram shop laws, you could be held liable for accidents caused by the customers you serve, especially those who are visibly intoxicated or underage. Mobile bartending insurance can mitigate or eliminate your financial responsibility for alcohol-related claims.

What Is Mobile Bartender Insurance?

Mobile bartender insurance protects you from claims that arise from serving or selling alcohol. This includes those who operate a freelance, private, personal, or traveling bartender business.

If you accidentally overserve a customer or sell alcohol to a minor, you could face legal fees, judgments, medical bills, and repair costs. Mobile bartending insurance shields you and your business, so you aren’t stuck paying thousands of dollars out of pocket.

What Does Mobile Bartending Insurance Cover?

Our insurance for bartenders includes general and liquor liability coverage, so you have protection from all angles. This comprehensive insurance covers the most common risks that come with running an alcohol-related business.

Don’t let the risks of running your business drain your financial resources. Insurance Canopy provides liability insurance that protects you from claims like:

  • Accidents involving customers you served alcohol to
  • Customers getting injured as a result of your business operations
  • Property damage caused by your business or by an intoxicated customer
  • Fights or threats taking place between patrons

How Much Does Liability Insurance for Mobile Bartenders Cost?

General and liquor liability insurance starts as low as $35.42 a month or $550 a year. Our short-term policies start at $275 for a 1–3 day event.

Your final cost can vary by state, gross business income, and the optional coverage you select. 

Why Do I Need Insurance for My Mobile Bartending Business?

Mobile bartender insurance picks up where general liability leaves off, covering claims related to serving alcohol. If an intoxicated customer injures somebody or causes property damage, you could be held financially responsible for the resulting costs.

As a business that sells or serves alcohol, you need liquor liability insurance to protect your financial well-being. A single incident can be extremely expensive, but your insurance can absorb some or all of the cost.

Questions About Mobile Bartending Business Insurance

Mobile bartender insurance includes general and liquor liability coverage.

General liability insurance protects you against third-party bodily injury, property damage, and advertising personal injury claims that arise from your business operations.

Liquor liability coverage protects your business from claims that arise from accidents caused by individuals you serve alcohol to, especially those who are visibly intoxicated or minors.

Here are some common mobile bartender business claims examples:

  1. An inexperienced mobile bartender served a patron three beers and three shots over a few hours. The customer then stopped at an attached liquor store and purchased a half-pint of whiskey. On the way home, the patron caused a head-on collision with another car, seriously injuring both drivers. The case was settled for $200,000.
  2. At a wedding, a freelance bartender served a guest 11 alcoholic beverages throughout the evening. The intoxicated woman got behind the wheel and struck a pedestrian who died from their injuries. The family sued and won a $900,000 settlement.
  3. While celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at the bar, a customer became increasingly drunk and belligerent. A bouncer had to forcefully remove him from the premises, causing the man to hit his head on the pavement and suffer a concussion. He won a $443,137 settlement against the bartender and establishment.

When choosing mobile bar insurance, you need to consider how many events you participate in per year.

If you only work a few, then you probably just need a 1-day bartender insurance policy. On the other hand, if you operate year-round, an annual policy saves you money since it covers unlimited events.
