drone insurance by the hour

[CFster]

This seems like a great product!

Will there be options tailored to future commercial Part 107 pilots? For example:

Discounts? (I assume a 107 pilot would be more responsible)

Exceptions to the airspace and night time restrictions, seeing as 107s will be able to obtain waivers?

Thanks,

- CF

Thank you!

The policy we deliver is tailored to a specific area and a specific time so starts at $10/hour. We are exploring additional functionality for Part 107 pilots such as waivers and night flight (we have this capability but are waiting for more clarity on how it will be managed). Looking forward to your feedback!

Thanks for the thorough review! We are looking to add options to purchase blocks of hours which would address the issue you raised. The claims process is handled by Global Aerospace who are experts in aviation insurance. Thanks again!

Looking forward to it!

We've added satellite maps to Verifly - pick the perfect coverage area! On iOS - verif.ly/hsRm303FYhH and Android - verif.ly/jCWg303FYmP

I used it for the first time this weekend. Super easy to use and convenient!

I'm curious about the radius, though. If you go outside of the radius, are you still covered so long as the coverage price would not have changed and you don't wander into any restricted spaces? I did a shoot this weekend in a rural town and I was driving to all the locations. I * think * I stayed within the circle radius the whole time but I couldn't be exactly sure without always looking at my phone. Also, does the copter have to stay inside the circle? Or does the operator have to stay in the circle? Or both?

Thanks!

 

[David Bercovich]

Hi Rothgarr,

Thanks for checking out Verifly and I'm glad you found the app so easy to use. In answer to your question, Verifly's insurance provides cover for 1/4 mile in each direction. When you set-up the policy, you can move the coverage area around in the map to meet the needs of the particular project or mission. But the drone does need to stay inside the coverage area.

One more thing, in case it is helpful, you might want to check out our FAQ on fly-aways which are covered.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

So, who took their Part 107 test today? Any reports or interesting tidbits?

Bloomberg West aired a segment earlier today featuring Jay to discuss new The FAA commercial drone regs - 1) FAA's New Drone Rules: The Opportunities and the Concerns 2) http://verif.ly/5mCE303Hu7c

Verifly is now up and running in Oregon and Oklahoma! That puts us live in 44 out of 50 states. We'd love to hear any initial stories from pilots in either of these states.

 

[David Bercovich]

Hey Tar Heels! Verifly is now up and running in North Carolina. 45 states and counting...

This sounds like a fantastic! Any plans on moving into Canada? Currently, our laws are a little more lax but as a operator, this seems like an ideal solution.

Does anyone use this when they fly recreationally or is it just commericially?

I admit that I haven't looked at faq, but if you need 5 million, perhaps as stipulated in certain situations, there's an option for that? And that would be 50 bucks?

 

[shockwave199]

It is actually 42 states (Where is Verifly available? - Verifly Support). Works on iOS Verifly – On-demand Drone Insurance on the App Store and Android Verifly – Drone Insurance Now - Android Apps on Google Play. There is a good FAQ at Home - Verifly Support and an article in TechCrunch Verifly launches drone insurance by the flight, and on-demand in the US

New York please!

Currently there is only $1mm but a $2.5mm option is coming.

Recreational flights are fully supported - I use Verifly for both commercial and recreational flights - is this supported? Do I need to indicate whether a particular flight is commercial? - Verifly Support

We are looking at Canada as our first International destination for 2017. Stay tuned.
