FAQs about getting an event insurance quote
What do I need to get an event insurance quote?
To get an event insurance quote, provide the event type, your role, the dates, venue, expected attendance and clear details of the planned activities. You should also tell us about any staff, contractors, performers, equipment or higher-risk activities involved, together with any insurance limits required by the venue, local authority or contract. We may ask for further information depending on the event.
Can I request an event insurance quote online?
Yes. You can request an event insurance quote online by completing our enquiry form. If the event is more complex or includes higher risk activities, contractual requirements or cancellation cover, our team may need further information before we can provide a quote.
Can I speak to someone before requesting a quote?
Yes. You can speak to our event insurance team before completing an online quote request. We can provide guidance on the types of cover available, appropriate limits of indemnity, whether employers’ liability insurance may be required and any specific venue or contractual requirements. You can also request a quotation by telephone.
How long does it take to get an event insurance quote?
We can usually provide a quotation for a straightforward event within minutes, once we have all the required information. More complex events involving large attendance numbers, unusual or higher-risk activities, cancellation cover, or specific contractual requirements may take longer because the insurer may need to review the details before offering terms.
Can I change my event insurance after buying it?
Yes. If your event details change after cover has been arranged, contact us as soon as possible and before the event takes place. You can ask us to amend your event insurance, but the insurer must agree to any alteration. Tell us about changes to the date, venue, attendance, activities, contractors, equipment or the way the event is managed. The insurer may revise the premium, amend the policy terms or decide that it cannot continue to provide cover.
