Drone Insurance Cost guide
The guide below includes previously published coverage examples and rates. These are general information, not a current quote. Request a quote for your drone operation; terms, availability and premiums depend on the insurer and your details.
Drone insurance is offered in two flavors:
- Personal and private use insurance
- Typically cover the drone and its replacement value.
- Personal use drone insurance policies are offered by State Farm, DJI, and the AMA and include inexpensive coverage designed to replace the drone itself if it is damaged, destroyed or lost.
- These policies exclude commercial use and may offer limited liability options.
- Commercial Drone Insurance policies
- Include liability coverage as a minimum
- Cover commercial use and drone businesses
- Full annual insurance policies
- Require part 107 license.
At BWI, we only offer Commercial Drone Insurance policies and we specialize in managing the risk of drone businesses.
Drone Insurance Liability Cost:
The cost of a commercial drone insurance policy depends on a few factors:
- The amount of hull coverage needed
- Commercial use and the risks associated, including the payload type
- Operator qualifications
We recommend insuring your drone and payload for the replacement cost of your equipment. If the drone was worth $2,000 and carried a high-tech camera worth $8,000 we would recommend adding $10,000 in hull coverage. $10,000 in hull coverage will add a cost of between $800-$1,200 on top of the liability premium of your insurance policy.
