We have selected front running insurance companies to highlight and which come with recommendations from previous students. Coverdrone offers quick quotes and a flexible service which is highly valued by our clients.

Please note: we are allowed to recommend companies, but we cannot recommend specific products.

Flock

We are doing things differently with our pay-as-you-fly drone insurance app ‘Flock Cover’. It’s a flexible alternative to an annual policy, as it allows you to purchase hull and Public Liability insurance for 1-8 hours.

Flock offers flight assessment insurance from £6, and you can get your proof-of-insurance document for your PfCO application through the app without having to spend a penny. Once qualified as a commercial pilot, policies start from just £5 for up to 8 hours of cover. You can also customise your Public Liability limit to suit the needs of the job, with options ranging between £1-10M.

Rest assured, Flock’s policies are EC785/2004 compliant, and you can reach our support team instantly through live chat in the app. Flock Cover is free to download on both iOS and Android devices.
