They can cover you for one-off events (though they need at least 14 days notice) or provide annual cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One-off cover should be considered for part-time marquee hire companies but if you\u2019re setting it up as a full time business annual cover will almost certainly be more economic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public liability insurance shouldn\u2019t be confused with fire\/theft\/damage insurance. Public liability insurance is always included in the cost of hiring, fire\/theft\/damage insurance is usually an optional extra -it\u2019s up to the customer to decide which they\u2019d prefer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Risk it, have no insurance cover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Household policy cover -some household insurance policies cover marquees. When I started out most household policies would cover marquees, now hardly any do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insure it through yourselves -most marquee hire insurance companies will allow you to offer insurance at around 5% of the total hire charge which you can offer your customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Terms and Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think t\u2019s &amp; c\u2019s aren\u2019t necessary, especially if you\u2019re only hiring to friends or friends of friends -in my opinion you should ALWAYS have them, even though you\u2019ll rarely have to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things like cancellation policy, what happens in the event of loss or damage of equipment and especially have a force majeure part \u2013 you may think nothing will stop you putting your customers marquee up but think of the fuel crisis, foot &amp; mouth or even someone wrecking your marquee a week before your customers event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A copy of the terms and conditions we used as a hire company are included with every marquee sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you receive money for marquee hire you need to be covered for public liability insurance and have some good terms and conditions to back yourself up.
