Vendor Insurance Links for Parking Lot Markets
Vendors at your lot market buy their own liability coverage through one link, naming the market and the property owner as additional insured.

A parking lot market has two parties who both want protection: whoever runs the market, and whoever owns the asphalt. The property owner's lease or use agreement almost always requires to be named, which doubles the paperwork on every vendor.
It's also a wind problem. Nothing stakes into pavement, so canopies rely on weights that vendors under-size, and a loose canopy in a lot full of parked cars is the claim that actually happens.
A link configured with both the market and the property owner means a vendor buys once and both parties are named, with no coordination between them.
What you're actually exposed to
- A canopy or tent that can't be staked goes over and strikes a shopper or a parked vehicle.
- A customer trips over a wheel stop, a cable, or a vendor's display in the lot.
- A vendor's vehicle damages property or injures someone during load-in or load-out.
- The property owner requires to be named and vendor certificates list only the market.
There are two links — most places need both
A renter's policy covers their event. It does not cover the food vendor they hired or the band they booked. Those are separate businesses with separate exposure, so they need their own coverage — and you need to be named on that too.
Vendor link
For each business working inside the event — they buy their own policy for their own booth or act, and your grounds are named on each of those policies.
Food vendors, entertainers, product and merchandise sellers, antique dealers, clothing sellers, crafters, service vendors.
Whole-space link
For the person or company renting your entire space for their own event. They buy a TULIP for the dates they have the place, and you're named as additional insured on it.
Weddings, receptions, reunions, birthday parties, clubhouse rentals, conferences, corporate offsites, fundraisers, memorials.
You can set up one or both on the same form below — there's no extra cost either way, and the renters and vendors buy their own coverage.
How it works for your grounds
Require proof of insurance from your vendors and space renters without collecting it by hand. One set-up, then the certificates come to you instead of you chasing them.

Your vendors are eligible too
It isn't only the person who rents your market. The businesses that work your events can buy their own event liability coverage through your vendor link — for a single day, a weekend, or a whole season of dates.
Booths, stands, concession trailers, and food trucks serving at your event.
Bands, DJs, dancers, magicians, face painters, and stage acts.
Booths selling goods, gifts, souvenirs, or packaged products.
Flea market, swap meet, and estate dealers selling from a booth.
Boutique, vintage, and apparel vendors working your market.
Handmade goods, art, jewelry, candles, and maker booths.
Rentals, staffing, inflatables, photo booths, and setup crews.
Host something that isn't on this list? Tell us on the set-up form and we'll confirm whether it's eligible.
Each vendor is named on their own policy and your market is named as additional insured — so one vendor's claim stays with that vendor.

Frequently asked questions
Can both the market and the property owner be named?
Yes. Your link can carry more than one additional insured, so the market organization and the lot's owner are both named on each policy bought through it.
Do vendors need coverage for load-in and load-out?
A policy written for the market dates covers the vendor's activity on those dates, which includes setting up and breaking down — generally the highest-risk part of a lot market.
How does our market and the property owner get named as additional insured?
Automatically. Your exact legal name and mailing address are built into your link, so each policy bought through it names our market and the property owner as additional insured without anyone having to request an endorsement from an agent.
What does the link cost us?
Nothing. Set-up is free and the renter or vendor pays for their own policy.
Is everything eligible?
No. Coverage is subject to the carrier's eligibility rules, and some events and activities can't be written. Your link tells someone up front if they don't qualify, so nobody shows up thinking they're covered.
