A Guide for Farmers who Own Drones
As drone technology becomes increasingly popular, many farmers are turning to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to enhance their operations. Drones can be used for a variety of tasks, such as crop monitoring, livestock inspection, land surveying, and aerial application. However, farmers need to be aware that their existing farm insurance policy may not cover damage to or caused by their drone.
What is Drone Insurance?
Drone insurance is a specialized type of insurance that covers damage to or caused by your drone. This type of insurance can also cover liability claims if your drone injures someone or damages property.
Does My Farm Policy Cover My Drone?
Most farm insurance policies do not cover drones; However, some insurers may offer drone coverage as an optional add-on for mapping and surveying drones. It is important to check with your insurance provider to see if your farm policy covers your drone. *Importantly: An aerial application drone will never be included on your farm policy as that is an even more specialized insurance.
What to Consider When Purchasing Drone Insurance
If you are considering purchasing drone insurance, there are several factors to consider, such as:
- The value of your drone
- The type of coverage you need for your mission
- The cost of the insurance
