Mobile Bar Insurance

Mobile bar insurance is different from standard bar insurance because trading takes place at third-party venues, events or temporary sites. Transport, setup, public access and changing site conditions all affect how the risk should be presented.

Even when the stock and staffing profile is modest, the off-site liability picture is usually the starting point for underwriting.
