Your drone is personal property, and would be insured for damage or loss that is caused by any covered peril, that applies to your personal property.
You could probably add a clause to your policy that provides for a wider range of instances where coverage will apply. Ask your insurance agent for specifics.
Good luck! :thumbup:

Verifly offers liability and invasion of privacy insurance on a per flight basis.

I use Verifly but I need commercial insurance as I am flying for hire under Part 107. AMA isn’t a bad deal for hobbyists. AOPA insurance offers coverage either way. There are also companies out there offering UAV coverage. It all depends on what you want.

Just curious how a homeowners policy protects the pilot from damage caused by a drone, which was part of the OP’s question? I understand that it can cover the aircraft itself.

This discussion is only relevant to hobbyist flyers. I doubt any homeowners policy will cover a commercial drone.

Each Homeowners policy includes personal liability coverage... :thumbup:

Hey bob, my agent just called back & said yes i am covered but not for theft or damage to drone. my main worry is to others, people or vehicles.
Hey everyone bob does really know insurance & bacon. :clap:
