Gold member drone insurance and turnover level

Hi folks, new member here, looking at taking out gold membership for the reasonably-priced insurance. I am a landscape architect who occasionally flies the (DJI Mini 4) drone to get aerial photos and 360’s. It is a small part of my business. The insurance is described as covering “up to £15,000 annual turnover from drone-related work”. My company turnover is in excess of £100k/year, but I am confident that drone-related work (e.g. based on flight and processing time, or value added to invoices) would be well under £15k. On that basis, would the Grey Arrow Gold member insurance cover my drone work?

Hi @BillB1 :waving_hand:t2:

Providing your accountants and/or finance software can separate and isolate the costs of your drone services, you’re good to go :slight_smile:

Great, thank you for the prompt reply. We keep really good records of time spent on activities, from which we could easily determine the value of drone-related work. Will sign up to Gold Membership ASAP!
Thanks Grey Arrows for providing sensible, affordable cover.

Hi folks, I am digging this one up again.

I’m surely not the only one here who has a need for occasional commercial use. Can people share what they are doing / who they are using to obtain insurance for commercial use of their drone, and at what kind of premiums?

I went for a FlyCovered policy. A little over £100 for the year for 30 days cover - just need to use the portal before flying to mark the day.

If you don’t need many days through the year, I just had a look at CoverDrone and they’ve quoted me a single day policy for commercial cover of an Air 3S at £12.

@JoeC thanks so much for those suggestions. FlyCovered sounds reasonable and might be the right one - I need to check how many flights I did last year!. I would be interested to know if people have other suggestions.

Or, simply indulge your hobby of architectural photography using your drone only during your morning coffee/lunch/afternoon tea breaks. You might even find you’ve obtained some images you could use to illustrate your professional work? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

NB: I am being slightly facetious :wink:
