Roving vehicles are considered golf carts, small, or similar type and size of vehicles. Any roving vehicle being driven for personal use will be confiscated. The media, service vendors, and authorized Exhibitors are to supply their own roving vehicles. No advertising of any type is allowed on the roving vehicles. Roving vehicles are to be used only for the purpose implied. Absolutely no other use is authorized. All roving vehicles shall not exceed normal walking speed and must be operated in a safe and responsible manner at all times. Exhibitor is responsible for the insurance as stated in the Manual (see INSURANCE for more information).
The charge for each roving vehicle permit is $300 each. An Exhibitor should apply to the Commercial Exhibits Department if they wish to purchase this permit so the request can be considered and, if approved, the necessary payment can be made as a part of the Contract. This permit must be displayed on the roving vehicle at all times. If Roving Vehicle Permit fees were not included in the Exhibitor Contract, an Exhibitor should contact the Commercial Exhibits Department for more information.
Roving vehicles must ONLY access the lined area indicated on the map on the back of the roving vehicle tag before 9:00 am and after 9:00 pm. After 9:00 am, access is restricted to the areas shown on the back of the Roving Vehicle permit. Any roving vehicle caught in any restricted area outside of stated hours of access will forfeit their permit and a towing fee will be charged. The vehicle will remain in the tow lot for the duration of the Fair.
No refund will be made on any Roving Vehicle permits cancelled after August 1. A $10 administration fee will be deducted from any refund on Exhibitor Contract cancellations received prior to August 1.
Roving vehicle hangtags will NOT be in your credential packet or given until you have come to the Commercial Exhibits Department and sign the agreement.
