Drone Insurance FAQs
Do I need insurance to fly a drone?
If you are a commercial drone operator in the UK, you are legally required to hold public liability insurance. It is highly recommended that hobby pilots also hold 3rd party public liability insurance for recreational drone flying. This will cover you in the event that your drone causes damage to another person’s property or injures a member of the public. It is also a good idea to have Personal Accident insurance in case you injure yourself whilst out flying.
