Duuo exits event and vendor insurance

Duuo Insurance Services  is exiting event and vendor insurance after November 30, 2026, according to updates on its event and vendor insurance pages. New policies remain available with effective dates up to and including November 30.

The decision was disclosed to partners earlier this year. In a May 8 notice, GardenOntario, representing the Ontario Horticultural Association, said its Duuo representative attributed the exit to the program becoming “cost prohibitive” to maintain.

According to the association, Duuo stopped accepting new vendor event registrations after May 31, 2026. It also said Duuo could no longer support events with fewer than 25 vendors because processing those policies was no longer financially viable.

The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets has also notified members of the November 30 cutoff and says it is seeking a replacement insurance partner offering daily rates.

The exit follows Duuo’s expansion into home and auto insurance in 2025. In July 2023, Duuo launched its first embedded insurance API, with event insurance announced as the first product partners could integrate into their websites, apps and platforms.
