Insurance. What do you folks use? Is there a preferred company? What are you paying?

House Forasken · Mar 31, 2020

Hi Guys/Gals,

So I tried shopping around for a PAP (personal articles policy) in preparation for my EVO II. Farmers doesn't offer coverage, Progressive doesn't offer coverage, State Farm isn't taking new clients in MA or RI.

I called Avion Insurance, they only insure pilots who have their part 107. I have not reached out to AMA, but will.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

TIA!!!!

Have you checked with tour current homeowners to see if they can do the pap ?

I have not. I am looking for a standalone policy, inevitably I will crash and need to file a claim, I don't want it to go against my howeowner's policy.

If you’re doing a job for which you need liability insurance on demand there’s Verifly, Drone Liability Insurance by the Hour | Thimble. Obviously not something you’d want to do all the time unless it’s a cost you can pass onto someone else, such as a client.

I just signed up with Avion Insurance. They were a little more than half what I was quoted by other companies.

One-year premium of $767.00 for $1,000,000 liability, plus hull insurance on the drone and controller. Five percent deductible on the hull insurance. Flyaways and the like are covered. Not too horrid.

I’m using Skywatch. Had a claim about a year ago and am still insured. You can submit a flightlog for eval and get a discount. $1M liability and hull coverage for about $70 a month.

Farmers I get insurance for recreational drone flying for $60:00 a year for a autel evo pro2. If you are making money with your Drone its a different price.

Thanks, unfortunately Farmers doesn't offer that for RI, MA or CT (as far as they told me). I've called all the others for a PAP and no one offers it
