What Is Rain Insurance?
With a rain insurance policy, ‘proof of loss’ is not required for the insurance to pay a claim. A rain insurance claim occurs simply when the defined rainfall amount is recorded by a verifiable independent and localized source (not at an airport) during the defined time period and the rainfall amount meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold. When rainfall keeps participants home, but event cancellation is not necessary, rain insurance can help recoup lost revenue. Plus, claim payments are quick (typically mailed in less than two weeks) to offer immediate financial relief.
Vortex Insurance offers a quick and straightforward way for you to access rain insurance quotes. Gain peace of mind even if rain attends your next event!
How It Works
In the spirit of transparency, Vortex Insurance offers an easy and straightforward quote process for events all across the country. There are three key pieces of information we need to produce your rain insurance quote.
Your Event Location
Vortex Insurance’s rain insurance quote options are based on statistics from the National Weather Service by city and state.
Your Window
Rain insurance can address the financial side of rainfall. You can select the hours that include your entire event, the event’s most profitable hours, the hours leading up to your event, or any combination that best fits your event.
Your Threshold
Even light rain can impact the success of an event. Decide which rain threshold makes the most sense for your needs.
Commonly Requested Rain Options:
1/10 (0.10) inch of rain – light rain
3/20 (0.15) inch of rain
1/5 (0.20) inch of rain
1/4 (0.25) inch of rain – moderate rain
1/3 (0.33) inch of rain
1/2 (0.50) inch of rain – heavy rain
3/4 (0.75) inch of rain
1 (1.0) inch of rain
Your Policy Triggers Automatically
Once your policy is set, there’s no need for extra paperwork or to prove loss or damages. When recorded rainfall meets your policy threshold, you get paid. It really is that simple.
