Applying for event insurance: how fast can it be arranged?
Organising an event also means covering your risks. Think of a sudden cancellation due to bad weather, damage to rented equipment, or a liability claim following an accident. Event insurance protects you from these kinds of financial setbacks – and the good news is: it’s quick and easy to arrange. In this article, we explain how fast it can be done and what you need to know.
Sorted within a day
Taking out event insurance can be quick and straightforward. On our online application page, you can complete the process in just a few steps:
- Enter your basic details and information about the event: event type, location, dates and the expected number of visitors.
- Select the cover you need – for example, for cancellation, liability or equipment.
- Instantly see what your policy will cost.
- Submit your application.
In most cases, you’ll hear back within one business day whether your application has been approved. You’ll then receive your policy and invoice. Once payment is received, your coverage is active.
Why early planning pays off
Although getting event insurance can be done quickly, it’s worth thinking about it early in your planning process. Not only will you know the premium in advance and be able to include it in your budget, but it also helps you identify the key risks for your event. Think about weather dependency, key performers or complex technical setups. Mapping out these vulnerabilities ahead of time helps you select the right coverage and take early action. That gives you peace of mind, oversight, and fewer surprises.
Last-minute coverage: is it possible?
Haven’t arranged insurance yet and your event is right around the corner? Don’t worry – in most cases, you can still apply online at short notice. Our tool makes it easy to complete the process and see your premium instantly.
Is your event taking place the very next day? Give us a call. We’ll do our best to see if we can still get you covered in time.
Please note: coverage for extreme weather and equipment must be arranged at least 14 days before your event. These are not available for last-minute applications.
What if you’re too late?
Not taking out insurance – or trying to arrange it after something has already gone wrong – carries big risks. You may end up paying out-of-pocket for cancellations, damage or liability claims. It could also mean you no longer meet the requirements set by the venue or local authorities.
It takes little effort to arrange your insurance on time, and it saves a lot of stress if something does go wrong.
