Fly worldwide
Wherever your work or adventures take you, stay protected under our policy (subject to certain excluded territories).
Fly with confidence
All our policies are fully EC785/2004 compliant and provided by leading aviation underwriters, giving you real assurance and protection.
Only pay for what you need
Choose a policy term that reflects your own drone use, from as little as one-days’ cover to protection for a full year.
Protect the things that matter
Get covered for third party liabilities, protect your own (or hired-in) equipment, or choose a mix of both for that extra peace of mind.
Don't feel restricted
No restrictions for high-risk premises or the number of flying hours, drones or pilots allowed per policy (commercial).
Protect against flyaways or theft
Flyaways are actually really common, even for the most experienced flyers. But there’s no need to worry. Our policies cover your drone if it is stolen or disappears.
Stay in control of your policy
Make changes to your policy at a time and place to suit you through your Online Account. You also have dedicated access to our customer service team.

How Much Does Drone Insurance in the EU Cost?
Drone insurance in the EU doesn’t come with a “one size fits all” fixed price – it varies based on your individual needs. Because each flyer and flight is unique, the fastest and most accurate way to find out your individual cost is to request a quote.
At Coverdrone, we believe in offering great value for money. Our policies are flexible, fairly priced, and built around how you actually fly. Whether you need basic cover for a single drone or comprehensive protection for a fleet, you’ll only ever pay for the cover you choose – nothing more, nothing less.

What’s Included in the Price of a Coverdrone Insurance Policy?
When you buy a Coverdrone policy, you’re not just getting paperwork – you’re getting peace of mind. Every policy includes access to our dedicated human support team, quick claims handling, and the option to tailor your cover with things like public liability, equipment protection, worldwide use, and more. You choose what to include, and we build the policy around your needs.
What Permissions Or Qualifications Do I Need To Be Covered?
As long as you are flying within the rules and regulations and have any relevant permissions/qualifications/licences that are required then our policy will cover you. To find out more, we recommend that you contact your local aviation authority or training centre to find out what you need to fly.
Am I A Commercial Or Recreational Operator?
In general, aviation authorities have worked to the following guidelines, and these are the guidelines on which we have built our policies:
Commercial – our commercial policy allows you to use your drone and equipment for paid or unpaid work, whether that payment is direct or indirect. It is also compliant with EC785/2004 and issue Aviation Liabilities in addition to Public Liability (if this cover is selected).
Recreational – for “sport or recreational” purposes only. A recreational flight would NOT include paid or unpaid work whether that is direct or indirect (such as imagery being used on another organisation’s website or social media).
Can I Customise My Drone Insurance to Fit My Budget?
Yes, absolutely. At Coverdrone, we let you build your policy your way. You can adjust your level of cover, choose whether to insure your equipment, add or remove optional extras, and even decide whether to pay monthly or annually. That way, you stay protected without paying for anything you don’t need.
