I just got my P3P insured from State Farm. If I crash it, it will be replaced. If it flys away...it will be replaced. If it falls out of the sky into the water...it will be replaced. If it breaks...it will be fixed or replaced. If it get stolen....it will be replaced. If it catches fire....it will be replaced. All this applies to the case, the batteries, prop guards, extra propellers, RC, lens filters and any other accessaries I have for the P3P. There is no deductable and all this for $60 per year! WOW..can't beat that!

In North Carolina...yes way! Try a different company. The company that insures the house and the autos didn't offer drone insurance. State Farm did.

I am a State Farm customer in Texas and I am going to call my agent tomorrow and see what my options are. I already have auto and rental insurances with them so let's see what they say about covering or insuring my drone. I'll report back with what they tell me.

Each state has their own insurance rules. Check with State Farm in your state. If they don't insure drones, try a different insurance company.

I am in Boise Idaho and mine through State Farm is $34.00 a year.  No deductible.  I assume the rate has something to do with the number of other items insured like homeowners, cars, RVs, boats, etc.

Liability insurance is actually the bigger consideration; and if you are using your UAS for commercial purposes it is a considerably bigger consideration... and cost.

And if this happens to you without it, you are in some pretty deep poop:

8 April, '16-  Drone Crashes Through Window, Hits Man's Head-

"... there was a loud bang and glass shattered all over him and something had hit him in the head.  "Initially, I thought a bomb had gone off,” Perel, 30, told ABC News today. But it wasn’t a bomb. It was a drone."  (http://abcnews.go.com/Internatio ... d/story?id=38253589)

Hi everyone, well, I was on the phone with my State Farm agent for at least 30 minutes discussing all the different what if's with my drone. This is what I was told so far, the agent needed to call someone else to ask for more information to make double sure. If someone steals my drone from my home or my car, I am covered with my renters insurance, of course I have a deductible.
If I am out flying my drone, and I crash it and cause harm or damage to someone or someone's property, I am covered up to $100,000 in general liability also through my renter's insurance. I am NOT covered for my drone, if I crash it or wreck it, everyone gets paid except for me to replace my drone. :-)

I had a few other questions she is going to call me back on and I should have some minimum coverage's in case anything goes wrong. I hope that helps.

Anyone know of a California company that offers this insurance?  I'm skeptical because we all know how insurance companies work..  You pay the premium but as soon as something happens, there's a loophole that in fine writing that doesn't cover..

Open main menu          Edit Watch this page Inland marine insurance Page issues For discussion of inland waterways, see Inland waterways of the United States. Inland marine insurance in the United States indemnifies loss to movable or specialized types property, historically developing as an outgrowth of ocean marine insurance. This category of insurance includes property coverage for construction equipment, medical diagnostic equipment, fine arts, solar panels and wind turbines, cameras and movie equipment, musical instruments, and a wide variety of other types of property.

I'm in discussion with both Travelers insurance and Farmers. I'll keep everyone posted! It definitely beats DJI Care if it covers the P3 as this post describes.

I just talked to my State Farm rep and she said that they will start doing drone policies next quarter. She also said that $65 a year sounds about right. No deductible for full replacement.
This is in Virginia. She is going to call me as soon as she is able to sell insurance for my drone so I will keep everyone updated. And will post a pic of the policy.

The rep told me that it will be a separate policy from my home and car. It will be just for my drone. She said she will call me as soon as she can insure my drone. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

Yes I know, personal articles policy. Drone on that policy won't cut it here.

Plus, now that drones are classified as 'aircraft', good luck when trying to get a claim.

Anyway, the most important isn't property coverage if you lose or damage the drone. Whatever, so you lost $1K. Its actually third party liability you should be worried about. Third party liability will for me be the only reason why I'd want to get a 'drone insurance'. I don't so much care for covering damages or loss to my own personal property as much as I do covering for third party liability.

You can get that through AMA. If you sign as a member ($75 per year) you receive I believe 2.5mil. in liability insurance.

Keep in mind that the coverage from the AMA for the $2,500,000 Comprehensive General Liability Protection is for model activities for members, clubs, site owners, and sponsors. I would interpret that as at an event and not just out flying around for fun. I guess I can ask my State Farm rep about this policy coverage as well.Here is the link to the benefits of the AMA membership:

Trying this again! I just sent emails to 3 different State Farm reps (in my area) that I found via: https://www.statefarm.com/. Last time I tried to contact someone and just never got a reply - well, at least one that made it to my inbox anyway. We'll see if I hear anything back this time. I will come back with an update when I have one - For those in Florida.

Update: I finally got a hold of someone at State Farm in my are (Central Florida) and they offered a plan to me that costs $75, has no deductible, and covers my purchase in the amount of $1,800 (what I paid for my P3P - Package). She said it covers, theft, loss, and damage! Happy Happy Happy. Anyone else in CFL or Florida - Rest assure - Go with State Farm!

I live in Iowa and my drone has liability coverage and replacement coverage under my "Homeowners) policy, but my deductible is $1000 and my agent says that although it is covered right now, there is a lot of conversation about excluding the drones from all home-owners policies as they move forward. I have my coverage with Nationwide.  My concern is also as someone mentioned about the liability part. That could be a major hit it you had an accident.
I understand replacing your drone is an important step, but does State Farm offer the liability? I am going to check around my area to see what is out there too.

I asked about adding drone insurance and liability to my commercial state farm inland Marine policy a few years ago, and State Farm told me that if I use a drone for commercial purposes, they would DROP my policy. I have a commercial policy for my gear for more than 15 years. That put me off of drones for a while, I need to ask again and see if they have changed their rules. I'm in Texas. Dallas area.

Wow he is correct I just called State Farm and asked about Drone Insurance. In TEXAS they said it’s covered under Personal Property Protection, Just like a Diamond ring. If the value of the Drone is 1,500
The coverage would be about 65.00 a year NO Deductible!!!
