Frequently Asked

Common questions

What does drone liability insurance cover?

+

Drone programs typically include hull coverage for physical damage to the aircraft, third-party liability for bodily injury and property damage, and payload coverage for cameras, sensors, and delivery cargo. Manufacturers can add product liability.

Do I need drone insurance for Part 107 commercial operations?

+

Most commercial contracts, venues, and clients require proof of liability coverage before you fly. We place coverage aligned to Part 107 operations and to BVLOS waivers, with specialty aviation carriers who understand commercial drone operations.

Is BVLOS — beyond visual line of sight — covered?

+

BVLOS operations carry higher exposure and require carriers who understand the waiver and your operational controls. We work with aviation markets that write BVLOS and present your operations so underwriters are comfortable.

How much does drone insurance cost?

+

Pricing depends on hull value, operation type, payload, geography, and flight hours. Small operators can start with modest annual premiums, while manufacturers and BVLOS fleets need tailored programs. We shop specialty aviation carriers for competitive terms.
