- Damage Protection:
- Covers repairs or replacement costs if your drone is damaged in an accident.
- Theft Protection:
- Provides coverage if your drone is stolen.
- Compliance:
- Some commercial operations and clients may require proof of insurance before allowing you to fly.
- Peace of Mind:

Types of Drone Insurance:

- Hull Insurance:

- Personal Injury Insurance:
- Covers injuries to yourself or your team while operating the drone.
- Commercial Drone Insurance:
- For businesses, covering multiple drones and operators, including comprehensive coverage options.
Where to Get Drone Insurance:
- Specialized drone insurance providers

Legal Requirements:
- Check local regulations as requirements can vary by country and region.
- In the U.S., the FAA does not mandate drone insurance, but it’s advisable for all operators, especially for commercial use.
In summary, while insurance might not be legally required, it is a smart and responsible choice to protect yourself and others while flying a drone.
Check with your insurance provider to see if they cover the drone rental and flights. If they do not, we highly recommend that you have insurance when you are flying drones. We have found that Skywatch.ai offers some of the best options for Drone Insurance.
