Meeting Your Insurance Requirements: A Simple 8-Step Guide to Securing Coverage with ACT Insurance
We are so thrilled to have you join us for the upcoming Bespoke Art Society event at Malibu Wines and Beer Garden!
Malibu Wines requires all participants to have coverage in place prior to the event date. This insurance requirement is non-negotiable. To make this process as seamless as possible, we have created an easy-to-follow guide using our recommended provider, ACT Insurance.
Think of adding an “additional insured” as sharing your insurance “shield” with the venue; if an accident occurs at your booth – such as a customer tripping or a display getting damaged – your policy steps in to protect both you and the organizers. This is a standard requirement for almost every professional market, and it ensures that everyone is protected before setup begins.
If you already hold an annual policy with ACT Insurance, updating your details is quick, easy, and completely free. You can add as many additional insureds as necessary at no extra cost, even after your plan has been purchased. Simply log into your account, click “Add Additional Insured,” and you can immediately download your updated certificates to submit for the event.
