What Our Customers Are Saying

Here's what other people have to say about their experience from over 312+ available reviews.

Have Questions? We're On It.

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.

Some risks that you can experience as a food festival vendor can include:

  • A customer tripping over your equipment or within your business location, causing bodily harm
  • While you are busy serving a customer, someone stealing your equipment
  • A customer getting a foodborne illness from the baked goods you served them
  • A fire or disaster destroying your equipment or business location, which could cost thousands of dollars to repair or replace

If you are a festival food vendor you need these insurance coverages:

  • General Liability
  • Product Liability
  • Tools and Equipment
  • Damage to Premises Rented 
  • Cyber Liability 

 

These insurance coverages can protect you from the costs associated with insurance claims. Costs can include attorney fees, medical fees, property damage replacement fees, and more. Oftentimes these claims can cost thousands of dollars.
