The Do’s And Don’ts Of Attending A High-End Auto Show

There is a huge difference between going to a local cruise-in at some random burger joint's parking lot, or attending a full-fledged car show that plays host to various fundraisers with entrants of the most elite degree. It sounds horribly stuffy, we know, but not all classic car owners are snobs, and we have met quite a few wealthy individuals who own amazing car collections and are down to earth in every way imaginable. But when attending an event where there are going to be hundreds of these cars, as well as the individuals who own them, it is probably best to have a few rules in place in order to ensure that you don't get kicked out. 4. Don't touch the cars. Most shows do not rope off the cars on display, so courtesy and caution to avoid damage is expected from all spectators. Cars are carefully prepared for the show and, in many cases, are worth millions of dollars. This isn't the new car show where you sit in the dealer cars at the convention center. Touching paint, even gently, can mar the surface. Be careful of cameras or admission badges swinging into a car when looking into the interior or engine compartment. If bringing children to the show, watch them carefully. 12. Don't miss other events related to the show. These shows present other events that add to the enthusiast experience. Seminars, auto auctions, driving tours, cocktail parties, memorabilia shows, and charity galas are some of the options surrounding the car show day.

For example, if a storm suddenly causes flooding in the venue in which you were to hold the car show you will not have to suffer the consequences. Cancellation coverage can help cover any fees with rescheduling or moving the show. Once again, be sure to carefully read your policy to see which types of situations are covered. If your general liability insurance will not adequately cover your car show, look for a special event insurance policy. You should acquire special event insurance as soon as you begin making plans for the car show. This may occur up to 24 months prior to the event date as you begin signing contracts and putting down deposits. However, in some cases special event insurance can be acquired as shortly as 14 days prior to the event date. However, many venues require proof of insurance at least 30 days before an event. When shopping around for special event insurance, there are a number of things you will want to look for.

Motorsport enthusiasts of all ages can see the fastest cars, biggest stars and adrenaline-spiking live action over the course of the show. There will be more than 1,000 motors on display, and you can even get behind the wheel in the UK's largest e-sports fan village and discover petrolhead heaven at the Performance & Tuning Car Show. The London Classic Car Show is a must-attend event for classic car owners, collectors, experts and enthusiasts. Visitors have the opportunity to view and purchase a wide range of desirable cars from world-renowned dealers. Advance tickets for the London Classic Car Show starts from £25 per adult, £20 per child (6-16) and £75 per family (two adults, two children). Entry for children under the age of six years is free. CarFest North will again be raising money for UK Children's charities and this all-encompassing car show is the brainchild of radio DJ and television presenter Chris Evans.

Special event insurance also includes liability coverage. Event liability coverage may help protect you if you are found responsible for an injury or property damage during your event. In fact, it is so important that many venues require that you have it if you wish to use their facilities. Depending on your unique policy, liability coverage may only cover your staff and contractors if an injury or damage occurs. Some policies may also cover incidents caused by guests as well. For example, if a patron at your car show leans on a vehicle creating a dent, special event insurance may pay to have it repaired. An estimated 40 million lawsuits are filed each year in the United States. As litigation runs rampant in today's society, it is more important than ever to protect yourself from suffering the loss of both money and your reputation. As the host of a car show, you are responsible for any incident that occurs that results in a lawsuit.
