What Does Club Insurance Cover?
Club insurance is most commonly found as an extension to an existing commercial general liability insurance policy. This is important coverage as it includes cover for damages to persons and property caused by patrons when customers consume alcohol at your establishment and/or allege that they were over-served at your establishment. Also, as many clubs employ bouncers to screen prospective club-goers for entry, it is common for club insurance policies to include coverage for forcible ejection. Rates of insurance will vary based on the type of business, location, amount of sales and business history.
