What to watch out for with Event Cancellation insurance?

When considering Event Cancellation Insurance, here are five key points to be mindful of:

  • Specific Risk Coverage: Ensure your policy covers the specific risks relevant to your event, such as adverse weather conditions, non-appearance of key participants, or technical failures.
  • Policy Exclusions: Be aware of what your insurance does not cover. Some policies may exclude certain causes of cancellation, so it’s important to understand these details.
  • Notification Requirements: Familiarize yourself with the timeframe within which you need to notify your insurer about the cancellation or postponement of your event.
  • Premium Costs: Understand how the cost of your premium is calculated, including factors like the event size, location, and type of event, to ensure it fits your budget.
