Can I get insurance for company renting humanoids for parties?

2•cpsk•1h ago
It feels like an daunting and impossible task to find insurance for a company trying to rent humanoids for events and parties. How in the world are Neos and Telsa Optimus going to get insurance coverage if they are inside a home?

Are they just big players so they can get hold of risk underwriters and get them to approve it. But a small company that is trying to build rent robots for parties or conduct educational workshops using humanoids cannot get even general liability.

I think you have some insurance from companies. Or not. In case of murder we’ll got a cool idea for the new film about robots

General liability umbrella policy for $1-$5MM is like $1-5k / year.

Renting robots for parties probably requires a rider.

If you make robots then you are probably looking at product liability insurance, not general liability insurance…though a robotmaker would usually have that too for general liability.

But I am not an insurance agent.
