EXHIBITOR INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
All exhibitors are required to provide a Certificate of Commercial General Liability naming Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show, Inc. as “Additional Insured” when returning your formal contract and other required forms and/or payments.
Commercial General Liability required limits are a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate. The insurance carrier must have an A.M. Best Rating of at least A: VIII.
If you do not currently have such coverage, you may participate in an approved Group Liability Policy from NFP Property & Casualty Services, Inc. (NFP P&C), our insurance agent). The cost of liability insurance for this is quite reasonable as follows:
31st Annual Sports Vacation & RV Show is $75.00
Following are instructions as to how you can sign-up for this program on line.
1. Go to https://securevendorinsurance.com/NFP. This takes you to a special website designed for us by our agent to provide easy purchase of the required coverage. Once there simply “Select the Event” by using the drop down box. Then at bottom of page click on “Click Here To Order Policy”. You then must complete a very simple application and provide your credit card information.
2. Once completed, hit the “Purchase” button and you will receive by email proof of coverage in the form of a Certificate of Liability Insurance which includes QZRV as Additional Insured. You can print this Certificate of Liability Insurance for your records. A copy will automatically be emailed to NFP P&C & to QZRV.
3. If you are using a different insurance program you will need to provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance issued by your agent with QZRV as Additional Insured.
Please bring a copy of your certificate with you in case of any questions that should arise during check-in as we will not allow any exhibitor to participate in either of the shows without said certificate.

BUSINESS LICENSE AND RESALE PERMIT INFO
The Town of Quartzsite requires a vendor permit for all exhibitors, regardless of whether you are selling retail of simply displaying. The vendor license fee is $50.00 and is valid through June 30th. I have included a copy of their form with this move-in package. You will also be required to have a valid resale permit for the state of Arizona if you are selling retail. This permit is $12.00. You can call 928-927-4333 and request a form be mailed. Neither of these permit costs are included in your exhibit fee. If you are a food related exhibitor, you can contact the La Paz County Health Department at 928-669-1100 for information and regulations. If you are a food concession you must also contact the QZFD @ 928-927-6556 . Contact QZFD first.
If you prefer, you can wait until you arrive in Quartzsite and then go over to the Town Hall and wait in a long line to take care of these necessary licensing requirements however I recommend that you take care of it beforehand. They will be at the show to check for permits. If you don't have one, they will shut you down! And then that long line will be even longer!
You will find a lot of additional information and related links at our web site www.quartzsitervshow.com. Look on the menu bar under “Quartzsite Info“ and you’ll see “QZ Vendor License Info”.
If you have any questions regarding the local permits, please contact the Town of Quartzsite, directly at (928) 927-4333.
