Frequently asked questions
What is gachapon / gashapon?
Gachapon (also spelled gashapon) are Japanese-style capsule toy vending machines — customers turn a dial or crank to dispense a small toy inside a plastic capsule. They're increasingly common in malls, arcades, and specialty retail locations across the U.S.
What does gachapon machine insurance typically cover?
General liability is the core coverage — generally intended to respond to third-party bodily injury or property damage claims arising from your machines being on someone else's premises. Many operators also add inland marine coverage for physical damage to the machines themselves.
What is inland marine coverage, and do I need it?
Inland marine is the category of coverage generally intended to respond to physical damage to portable business property — in this case, your gachapon/gashapon machines. If a machine is damaged, vandalized, or stolen, inland marine coverage is what a claim like that would run through. The quote form asks for the value of your machines to help size this coverage.
I only have a couple of machines right now — is that too small to insure?
No — a rough machine count is fine to start, and you can add more detail as your business grows. Many gachapon/gashapon operators start with just a few machines in one location.
