Drone insurance

[Lazarovskiz]

Hi guys, i have couple of small jobs lined up with some real estate agent, what would you recommend for insurance, in the past i used the app verifly for like $10-20 an hour, but since I'm getting more jobs do you recommend i just get yearly, and if you do, does anyone has idea how much is it or any additional info, or is there anything else out there...


Thanks

I fly only as a hobbyist. I'm not 107 certified (thinking about it though) but I do have my drone covered.

Like others on here have done (you can find it in a search) I called my local State Farm office and got a personal Article Policy for my 3SE. I paid $60 for it, I had to provide a copy of the receipt, the serial number and a picture to show proof it was not already destroyed.

Done. If I lose it, crash it, stolen, etc I'm covered.

The State Farm insurance is for hobbyist only, specifically not for professional flying. Also, it doesn't cover liability. Verifly is a great solution, just consider it a cost of doing business, and you can advertise that you have a million dollars of liability insurance which just might bring in more business for you.

As stated above, AMA recently added insurance coverage for commercial operations.

As also stated above, the insurance coverage from State Farm is for recreational use only and does not cover commercial use.

I just signed up thru the insurance AMA offers today. 1 mill liability and 1,500 hull coverage for the drone for $605 a year.

Yes it’s important to note that Farmers insurance does not cover your biggest exposure, liability. Beyond that it is simply a PAP plan and opens you up to regular insurance rate changes upon use.
