Professional drone insurance starts with understanding your work. Discuss liability and optional physical damage protection with BWI, and review the proposed policy for your operation.
BWI focuses on aviation and drone insurance. Share your drones, equipment, pilots and intended activities so our team can help you explore available options.
Your clients or contracts may request particular liability limits. Let BWI know those requirements before the job begins. Available limits, terms and premiums depend on the submission and insurer.

Ask about physical damage for the drone and equipment you want to insure. Confirm insured values, deductibles, covered causes of loss and territory; coverage for a drone does not mean every payload or item is automatically included.
Review any proposed privacy, advertising or other additional coverage separately. Ask BWI about certificates of insurance and additional-insured requirements for upcoming work.
A current quote is based on your operation and the terms offered. Share accurate equipment and activity details so you can compare the actual proposal.
Contact BWI at 800-666-4359 or [email protected] with questions about your quote or policy. Ask about available payment options and any related terms or fees.

5 Reasons You Need Drone Insurance Today
1. Protect Your Business
Liability coverage can help address covered claims arising from your drone operation. Review the proposed limits and any sublimits carefully.
Accidents can lead to bodily injury or property damage claims. The policy determines whether a claim is covered and how defense costs are handled. Ask BWI to explain the conditions and exclusions.
2. Prepare for Client Requirements
Historical illustration retained from this guide’s original publication. It is not a current sales forecast.
A client may ask to see evidence of insurance or require particular limits and endorsements. Read the contract and share its insurance requirements with BWI early. A certificate summarizes information; it does not replace or expand the policy.
3. Protect Your Equipment
Your drone, cameras and other equipment represent an investment. Ask what property the proposal includes, how it is valued, what deductible applies and which losses are excluded. Confirm the territory and any transit or storage conditions before traveling.
4. Plan Your Effective Date
Tell BWI when you need coverage to begin. Confirm the quote’s validity period, any outstanding information and the steps required to bind coverage. A request or quote alone does not mean insurance is in force.
5. Review Certificates and Additional Coverage
Compare the proposed policy and endorsements with your business needs. Ask about any optional coverage, limitations or additional premium.
Before a job, confirm whether the client needs a certificate or additional-insured status. Send the exact requirements to BWI and allow time for review. Check any associated terms or fees rather than assuming every request can be fulfilled automatically.
