Coverage starting at $300

Actual premium may vary based on underwriting review and event-specific factors.

Heavy rain falling on an empty outdoor festival ground, parametric weather insurance pays automatically when measurable thresholds are hit.

What it covers

  • Rainfall above a defined threshold during the event window
  • Temperature above or below a defined threshold (heat, cold, extreme temperatures)
  • Sustained or gust wind speed above a threshold
  • Snowfall accumulation above a threshold
  • Thunderstorm activity tied to lightning strikes within a defined radius
  • Named tropical storms or hurricanes within a defined radius (subject to strict binding deadlines)
  • Tornado activity within a defined radius of the venue, where data sources allow (subject to underwriting review)
  • Fog and low-visibility triggers tied to a named airport or weather station, where data sources allow
  • Customizable payout amounts up to selected limit

What it doesn't cover

  • Weather just below the trigger threshold (parametric is binary)
  • Subjective 'bad weather' that doesn't hit the measured threshold
  • Triggers measured at a different station than the contracted one
  • Cancellation costs beyond the agreed parametric payout
  • Indoor-event weather impacts when no trigger is defined

One link. Every vendor covered. Stop chasing certificates.

Built for trade show, expo, and convention organizers.

Designed for low-risk vendor categories.

From David

Weather is the one thing nobody can negotiate with. Parametric coverage skips the claim form: pick a measurable trigger, and if it hits at the official station, the money lands. We help you set the trigger where the rain actually ruins the day, not at the worst case nobody insures.
