INSURANCE FOR OUTFITTERS, GUIDES, AND GUIDED TOURS

As an outfitter, guide, instructor, or guided tour company, you know all about the obvious inherent risks and dangers of operating in the outdoors. However, even if you, your employees, and/or your clients are careful and do all that you can to avoid risk, that doesn’t mean that you’re safe from a lawsuit. Leading an adventurous lifestyle can lead to accidents at any time, anywhere, and this could result in financial loss or loss of assets.

You’re their guide, so who is yours? With XINSURANCE, you will have the customized coverage you need through our all-in-one approach with direct access to underwriting, risk management, and claims management. By reviewing your operations and experience level, we provide insurance solutions made to fit your needs, not a cookie-cutter approach where you have to fit in with everybody else.

What Is Outfitter and Guide Liability Insurance?

At XINSURANCE, our outfitter and guide liability insurance can provide you with customized umbrella coverage. We may help you gain coverage for your policy’s exclusions or fill the gaps. For example, our outfitter and guide liability insurance may protect you in the event of bodily injury or property damage caused by your services and the service-related property you own. Liability insurance refers to third-party coverage, meaning it does not apply to business owners or employees.

If an injured party sues you, the liability insurance on covered claims may compensate them for associated medical bills and the cost of replacing or repairing their damaged property. Without outfitter and guide liability insurance, you could pay thousands of dollars in expenses for those damages. With it, you can experience true peace of mind.

A customed outfitter and guide liability policy may cover:

  • Equipment rentals
  • Professional liability
  • Third-party injuries
  • Third-party property damages
  • Alleged assault and battery
  • Alleged sexual abuse and molestation

How Does Outfitter and Guide Liability Insurance Work?

Suppose a client gets injuries to a part of their body during one of your business activities. In that case, your outfitter and guide liability insurance may cover the medical bills, so you don’t have to pay those expenses out of your pocket. In another situation, imagine one of your activities causes damage to someone else’s property. Third-party coverage in your policy may cover the cost of replacing or repairing the damage.

In a scenario when an injured party files a lawsuit, your outfitter and guide liability insurance may cover costs up to the limits of your policy for any amount determined by a jury or judge and your legal expenses.
