Vendor Insurance Links for Swap Meets
Sellers at your swap meet buy their own liability coverage through one link, and the certificate naming your operation comes back automatically.

Swap meet sellers turn over constantly. Some hold the same space every week for a decade; others show up once with a truckload and never come back. Your seller agreement asks all of them for the same thing, and the weekly ones are the only group that reliably produces it.
Chasing a certificate from a one-time seller is not worth anyone's Saturday, so most operations quietly stop asking — which is exactly how an uninsured seller ends up causing a claim that lands on the operator.
A link changes the economics. A seller can buy for one date before they load in, so the requirement is enforceable on casual sellers, not just the regulars.
What you're actually exposed to
- A customer is injured by a seller's display, merchandise, or vehicle inside the selling area.
- A seller's tent or canopy comes loose in wind and hits a person or a car.
- Merchandise sold by a seller causes injury after the fact, and the claim names the swap meet.
- A one-time seller has no coverage, and the operator becomes the only solvent defendant.
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 swap meet. 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 swap meet is named as additional insured — so one vendor's claim stays with that vendor.

Frequently asked questions
Can a one-day seller buy coverage?
Yes. Coverage can be written for a single date, which is what makes the requirement practical to enforce on casual and first-time sellers.
What about sellers who are here every weekend?
A regular seller usually does better with an annual policy covering all their selling dates. The link offers both, so a seller picks what fits how often they sell.
How does our swap meet 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 swap meet 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.
