What hosts care about
Fewer surprises. Cleaner trust.
Insurance is one of the simplest signals that a producer is serious, organized, and not treating the property like a disposable set.
It also reduces friction when a host is deciding whether to approve a booking for a private or higher-risk production.
The current flow is intentionally simple: upload a PDF now, verify more deeply later.
FAQ
Why do I need production insurance?
Production insurance protects everyone. It helps cover liability exposure, property damage, and the kinds of on-set surprises that can turn a normal booking into a mess fast.
What coverage minimum do you require?
Minimum $1M general liability required. Some hosts or higher-risk productions may require more, but $1M is the baseline for the current workflow.
Can I book without uploading a certificate right away?
For now, yes. You can continue through the booking flow and use a partner link if you need same-day coverage. Verification can get stricter later.
What file format should I upload?
PDF only for now. A certificate of insurance or general liability proof is the simplest starting point.
