Navigating Insurance and COIs for San Francisco and Marin

Certificate of Insurance (COI)
We routinely issue COIs naming the City and County of San Francisco or specific Marin County school districts as additionally insured — exactly what every public venue and school district requires before approving a vendor.
Public Space Permits

Best High-Throughput Rentals for City Festivals and Marin School Events
In the North Bay, space can vary from tight urban plazas in San Francisco to expansive campuses in Novato. We curate our commercial inventory to match these environments.
1. Vertical Obstacle Courses
Ideal for San Francisco events with limited footprints. These units provide high throughput — 120+ people per hour — while utilizing vertical height rather than square footage. The right call when space is tight but attendance is high. Browse obstacle courses →
2. Giant Slides & Multi-Player Interactives
Best for Marin County school field days and large-scale corporate picnics where visual impact and high engagement are key. High visibility draws participants in and keeps lines moving. Browse giant slides → | Browse interactive games →
3. Silent Power Solutions
For events in noise-sensitive Marin neighborhoods or quiet SF parks, we provide commercial-grade, low-decibel generator rentals that meet local noise ordinances without sacrificing power output.
