FPVUK - Drone Insurance
Being a drone pilot for my hobby is great, I have freedom but also re-assurance that I have public liability insurance with FPVUK which covers me up-to £5 million pounds. Soon enough it may become law to have insurance and already in some places across the country police forces are speaking with drone pilots and asking to see drone OperatorID, FlyerID and Insurance, you might be thinking what's the point I'll never need it but! Maybe one day one simple mistake may turn into a court case to where you may have to pay thousands and maybe more.
Even though with being a content creator on TikTok and flying my drone in public area's, I'm playing is safe and brought cover through FPVUK which only costs me £24.99 per year which gives me the following:
Every member is covered by £5m public liability insurance.
- UK residents are covered anywhere in the UK + Channel Islands + Isle of Man + EU + Norway + Switzerland.
- Non-UK residents are covered anywhere in the UK + Channel Islands + Isle of Man.
