Frequently asked questions
Do I need annual or per-event insurance?
It depends on how often you work. Performers with 4+ events per year often save money on an annual policy. One-off gigs are commonly covered by a daily or weekend policy.
Can I add the venue as additional insured?
Yes — adding a venue as additional insured is a standard endorsement that is generally intended to satisfy venue insurance requirements.
