Drone Insurance

Drone insurance offers peace of mind by protecting you if something goes wrong.

It can cover damage to your drone or claims from third parties whose property may be accidentally damaged during a flight.

Providers such as Coverdrone offer policies that extend beyond flying your drone - also covering the storage and transportation of your equipment.

If you fly a drone or model aircraft that weighs less than 20kg for fun, recreation, sport, or as a hobby, you can choose whether or not to have insurance. Although insurance is optional in this case, you are responsible for your actions. You could be held personally liable for any injury or damage you cause, so you may want to consider getting third-party liability insurance. A number of options are available, but a pay-as-you-fly policy may well be prudent.

If you are operating a drone under 20kg for commercial purposes, then by law you are required to have public liability insurance that is compliant with EC 785/2004.

If your drone is 20kg or more, you must always have third-party insurance, no matter what you use your aircraft for.
