Business insurance

Insurance for Party Hire Providers

Party hire carries liability and property risk together — your gear ends up at public events where people gather, climb on jumping castles and dance under your lighting, so a fault or an accident can lead to a claim. Public liability is the core cover, alongside cover for your hire stock both on site and in transit, vehicle cover for your delivery fleet, and product liability for the equipment you supply. With staff, workers' compensation is required.

Items like jumping castles and electrical equipment carry particular exposure, so it pays to be sure your cover extends to them and to events at third-party venues. Premiums for a party hire operator often sit around the ~$900 mark, and with many policies renewing around 30 June, it pays to review your cover before the new financial year so a damaged marquee or an event mishap does not come straight out of your pocket.

Common questions

Party Hire Providers — insurance questions

What insurance does a party hire business need?

Public liability is essential because your gear is used at events where people gather, alongside cover for your hire stock on site and in transit, vehicle cover, and product liability for what you supply. With staff, workers' compensation is legally required.

Is my stock covered while it is out on hire?

It should be, but check your policy covers stock both in transit and while set up at a customer's event, not just in your storage. Reviewing this before your 30 June renewal avoids a gap if a marquee is damaged or equipment is stolen from an event site.
