Vendor Insurance Links for Public Boardwalks
Carts, performers, and concessions on your boardwalk buy their own liability coverage through one link, naming your authority and the city.

A boardwalk concession program is usually administered by a municipality, a parks department, or a business improvement district — which means the insurance requirements come from a risk manager and are not negotiable.
The operators on the other side are often seasonal: a cart, a rental stand, a street performer, a summer concession. They're small, they turn over each season, and producing a certificate naming a public entity correctly is beyond most of them.
A link holds the exact entity names and addresses the risk manager requires, so a seasonal operator can satisfy a public-entity requirement in a few minutes instead of three emails.
What you're actually exposed to
- A pedestrian is injured by a cart, a rental, a performer's setup, or a vendor's equipment.
- A rental operation — bikes, surreys, chairs, umbrellas — results in a customer injury.
- A food or beverage concession causes an illness or burn claim naming the public entity.
- A seasonal operator leaves at the end of summer with no coverage ever on file.
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.

They Buy Coverage
Each vendor or space renter buys their own event liability policy in minutes.
Certificates Auto-Issue
A certificate naming your grounds as additional insured is emailed to them and to you.
Your vendors are eligible too
It isn't only the person who rents your boardwalk. 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 boardwalk is named as additional insured — so one vendor's claim stays with that vendor.

Set-up takes about two minutes and costs you nothing — the renter or vendor pays for their own policy. We provision your custom link from there.

Frequently asked questions
Can public entities be named correctly on the certificate?
Yes, and getting the exact legal name and address right is the point. Your link stores them, so each operator's policy names the authority, the city, or the district exactly as your risk manager requires.
Does this work for street performers and buskers?
If your program licenses them, yes. A performer's equipment, staging, and crowd are their own exposure and can be covered through the same link.
Can an operator buy for just the summer season?
Yes. Coverage can be written for a defined season or set of dates rather than a full year.
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.
