Coverdrone Review
We tested the Coverdrone annual insurance for recreational use first-hand, we chose a liability limit of 2.6 million euros just to avoid any problems. The quote and purchase process was quick and easy. At the time of purchasing the policy, the account was placed on hold for verification and we were invited to contact customer service.
The Coverdrone Insurance customer service informed us that it was a simple document check and that following the confirmation of the personal data and document details, the purchase process had been completed successfully.
Not even the time to finish the call with Coverdrone Insurance that the policy and all related documentation was already in our mailbox, ready to be read and printed: a fast, clear and efficient service.
Coverdrone fleet coverage
Anyone who owns more than one drone will be happy to know that with Coverdrone Insurance it is not necessary to signup for multiple insurances. In fact, the civil liability policy covers all the drones in your fleet, including physical remote controls. It is not possible to register Apple iPhone or Samsung smartphones used as remote controls.
If we have entered specific coverage in the event of damage to the drone or radio, these will remain extended only to the specific aircraft while the RC coverage will be extended to all drones owned and operated by the Coverdrone insurance policy holder.
