Drone Insurance can be arranged for many different commercial activities.
The insurer needs an accurate description of how the drone is used.
What activities can insurers consider? #
Examples include:
- Land surveying.
- Engineering surveys.
- Construction progress inspections.
- Roof inspections.
- Building inspections.
- Property photography.
- Real estate photography.
- Film and media.
- Mapping.
- Environmental monitoring.
- Agricultural inspection.
- Infrastructure inspection.
Why does the activity matter? #
Different operations create different exposures.
For example, photographing a rural property can present a different risk from:
- Inspecting a high-rise building.
- Flying near infrastructure.
- Surveying a construction site.
- Operating near the public.
- Flying specialist equipment.
The insurer may therefore apply different terms depending on the work.
Does Drone Insurance cover the professional advice produced from the flight? #
Not necessarily.
Drone Liability Insurance primarily addresses aviation liability.
If the business provides professional services such as:
- Surveying.
- Engineering.
- Inspection reports.
- Mapping advice.
- Technical recommendations.
Professional Indemnity Insurance may also be required.
What should be disclosed? #
Tell Webber Insurance about all material drone activities, including any new services added during the policy period.
