Rental Insurance

Renters may access insurance coverage under the municipally sponsored low-risk event liability program, which provides basic liability coverage for eligible events held at municipal facilities. However, renters must meet all insurer requirements and are responsible for any applicable deposit or deductible. This coverage does not extend to performers, vendors, or participants, for whom separate insurance must be obtained. The Town reserves the right to require additional types or amounts of insurance based on the nature of the event. Failure to meet these insurance conditions shall be considered a breach of this agreement.

Exclusions to the Municipally Sponsored Insurance Program include, but may not be limited to: Liquor liability, contact sports (including hockey, lacrosse, martial arts), cycling, fireworks, gymnastics, motor vehicle activities, training camps, athletic schools, festivals, fairs, deep frying at concessions/kiosks/vendors, professional performers or members of the Actors Guild, swimming, corporations, and any organized sports teams/leagues/tournaments.

Other insurance requirements may apply.

Duuo provides on-demand insurance coverage for short-term rentals, tenants, events, vendors, and more.
