Why Drone Insurance Matters – And Where to Get It
Flying a drone can be exciting and rewarding—but it also comes with risks. While drone insurance isn't always legally required, it’s highly recommended to protect yourself, your equipment, and others around you. Whether you’re flying for fun, professional photography, or commercial inspections, having the right insurance offers peace of mind and may be required by clients or job sites.

⚖️ Is Drone Insurance Legally Required?
In the United States, the FAA does not require insurance, but many local governments, private clients, and commercial contracts do. It’s especially crucial if you’re flying professionally or in public spaces.
✔️ Before You Fly
Check with your current insurance provider to see if they cover drone rentals or flight operations. If not, we highly recommend securing coverage before you launch.
