Chapter 7 Drone Insurance

Are you worried about crashing your drone? While we take a lot of steps to help you fly safely, accidents can happen. That’s what insurance is for.

The UC provides comprehensive insurance coverage free of charge for drone operations. This includes both liability insurance coverage and replacement insurance.

• Liability insurance will cover the costs of any damage caused by a drone to another person or property. If your drone crashes and breaks a window, this is what liability insurance is for.
• Physical Damage insurance will cover the costs of replacing or repairing a damaged, destroyed or lost drone. Only available to UC-owned drones.
