About Marquee Hire Insurance
Marquee hire insurance for event and temporary-structure businesses
Marquee hire insurance is designed for businesses that hire, deliver, erect and dismantle marquees, event tents, temporary shelters and related event equipment.
The insurance conversation is different from a standard event or equipment-hire enquiry because the business may combine manual handling, temporary structure safety, weather exposure, transport, customer sites, public events, valuable hire stock and business interruption if key equipment is damaged or stolen.
Use this page to review cover, pricing and insurer appetite for marquee hire insurance, and use the sports facility insurance page if the enquiry also involves adjacent venue types, cover options or risk issues.
UK specialist broker support for active and public-facing venues.
