To make sure you are paying the correct amount, we prorate the membership costs automatically.

Additional Insurance $90

An Additional Insured Endorsement is used to extend your General Liability policy to include coverage for those additional insureds named in the form. This is only provided for liability arising out of your ongoing operations performed for the additional insured(s) at designated locations, or out of your acts or omissions while working as a subcontractor. This coverage is not automatically included.
The additional Insured Endorsement will provide the Club, etc. coverage only for negligence on the PPR member’s part as it regards to his or her Tennis Instruction. The club still needs to obtain and provide its own Comprehensive General Liability Coverage for court ownership, maintenance and public liability.
The charge for the initial Additional Insured Endorsement is $90, and $55 for each additional endorsement.

If you have any questions, please contact Paige Payne at 843-842-9777 or paige@ptrtennis.org. Please note: The Additional Insured Endorsement may take up to 3 business days to process.
