Liability insurance for food vendors starts at $25.92 a month or $299 per year. However, every business will require different types of coverage. Personalizing your policy can affect the cost, as well as these factors:
General Liability
Aggregate Limit: $2,000,000
Protect your food vendor business from the cost of third-party bodily injury and property damage claims that arise as a result of your business operation, products-completed operations, personal and advertising injury, and more.
Product Liability
Aggregate Limit: $2,000,000
As a food business, you run the risk of customers getting sick from the food you serve them, whether it be from foodborne illness, unlabelled allergens, or something else. Product Liability insurance can shield your food vending business from the cost of these product-related claims.
Tools and Equipment
Aggregate Limit: $10,000
Tools and Equipment insurance can secure your business from the cost of repairing or replacing stolen or broken business equipment. FLIP offers two coverage plans for Tools and Equipment based on your insurance needs.
Damage To Premises Rented
Aggregate Limit: $300,000
Cover your food vending business from the cost of claims resulting from damages done to rented spaces, such as an event booth or commercial kitchen. It’s common for property owners and event organizers to require businesses to list them as additional insureds on a policy before renting a space. FLIP provides unlimited additional insureds at no extra cost.

If you sell food at music festivals, art festivals, renaissance festivals, film festivals, or other similar events, then you will need festival food vendor insurance.
Serving your food comes with risks, and insurance can protect your business from the expensive costs associated with claims, such as a customer experiencing an allergic reaction from food purchased from you or a customer sustaining an injury at your station.
In some severe cases, these claims can lead to legal action and defense costs can add up fast. This kind of financial strain can be detrimental for many small business owners.
Festival food vendor insurance works as a financial safety net and is designed to respond to covered third-party claims you may face.
A trailer endorsement can cover liability incidents in, on, or around your trailer when the trailer is detached from your towing vehicle and parked on a rented premise.
It’s important to note that most general liability policies exclude incidents that occur in, on, or around your food trailer. A trailer endorsement covers those exclusions so you do not have to leave part of your workstation uninsured. As an extension of your general liability insurance, the limits are $2,000,000 aggregate and costs an additional $12.50 per month.
