Trade Show & Exhibit Insurance

What happens when your exhibit properties are damaged, stolen or lost while in transit or at the show during setup?
Tradetec offers exhibit insurance for companies with relatively low premiums, this offers cost effective protection and give you a safety net when it comes to your entire exhibit program.

We compare this cost with the customer’s overall company’s insurance policy.

Most companies if not all…do not have separate insurance coverage for the storage and transport of their trade show displays.  If a customer makes a claim for damages they would have to do it through their policy and pay a very high deductible first which could be as high as $100K.
Tradetec charges a flat rate per show unless it’s over 10,000 lbs then there is a $1K deductible.

The insurance is called Bailey when it is stored in our warehouses.
The other type of insurance is called  in-transit or trip transit, these are 2 separate insurance policies and would be treated that way if/when a claim is made.

Without insuring your exhibit properties, if something happens currently the customer would get 50% coverage on the depreciated value of the exhibit from the logistics/trucking company.
Where if they have the in-transit insurance they get 100% coverage.

Most companies do not budget for replacement costs and damage, reports have shown that it is very seldom that drayage damage claims are proven and paid.

Having a safety net when it comes to your trade show display properties can save alot of aggravation in the long run as well as save on costs done due to damage.
