Flyby Guys Partnerships With Drone Insurance Provider, Coverdrone – sUAS News

Flyby Guys are delighted to announce a strategic partnership with drone insurance provider, Coverdrone.

Drone insurance is important for several reasons, whether you’re using a drone for recreational, commercial, or research purposes.

Why do you need drone insurance?

1. Liability Coverage: Drones can cause damage to property or injury to people. Liability coverage protects the drone operator from financial responsibility if their drone causes harm.
2. Property Damage: Drones are susceptible to crashes, malfunctions, or accidents. Insurance can cover repair or replacement costs for the drone itself and any property it damages.
3. Regulatory Compliance: Many countries and regions require drone operators, especially commercial ones, to have insurance. This is to ensure that operators can cover potential damages and liabilities.
4. Business Protection: For commercial drone operators, insurance is crucial for protecting the business from financial losses due to accidents, equipment damage, or lawsuits. It also enhances credibility and trust with clients.
5. Personal Protection: Even hobbyists can benefit from insurance to protect against the financial impact of an accident, whether it’s damaging their own property or someone else’s.
6. Legal Requirements: Some areas have legal requirements mandating insurance for drone operation, particularly for commercial use. Not having insurance can result in fines or legal action.
7. Peace of Mind: Knowing that you’re covered in case of an accident or mishap allows for more confident and stress-free operation.

Flyby Guys are industry leaders in drone operations, and are delighted to partner with Coverdrone, a leading provider of specialist drone insurance for both commercial and recreational drone operators.
