Coverage for photo booth operators
General liability for mobile photo booths and photo kiosks at weddings, parties, and corporate events — generally intended to respond to guest injury and property damage claims. Add optional inland marine coverage for the booths themselves.
General liability
Generally intended to address guest injuries and property damage at the venue — a tripped cord, a tipped booth, a scratched floor.
Inland marine on the booths
Optional physical damage coverage for the booths themselves, priced from the value of each unit you own.
Certificates for venues
Most venues want a certificate of insurance naming them as additional insured before you can set up.

Frequently asked questions
Do venues require photo booth operators to carry insurance?
Most event venues, hotels, and wedding sites ask for a certificate of insurance before you set up, often naming the venue as additional insured. General liability is what those requests are usually asking for.
What is inland marine coverage, and do I need it for my booths?
Inland marine is the coverage generally intended to respond to physical damage to portable business equipment. For a photo booth operator, that means the booths themselves — damaged in transit, dropped during setup, or stolen from a venue. The quote form asks for the value of each booth so this can be sized correctly.
Does it matter whether I send an attendant to the event?
Yes. An unattended booth left with a client is a different exposure than one your staff sets up, operates, and breaks down. The quote form asks directly, because carriers rate the two differently.
I lease a permanent spot for my booth instead of doing events. Is that covered?
Tell us on the form. A booth sitting in a leased location under a multi-month or annual lease raises different questions (premises liability, the lease's insurance requirements) than a mobile booth traveling to weddings and parties.
