Moonrock Insurance for Hobby Drone Pilots

Moonrock’s New Drone Insurance for Hobbyists

Moonrock Drone Insurance now provides insurance specifically for those who fly drones as a hobby, thanks to support from Hiscox, a top-rated insurer.

This new plan includes coverage for drone gear up to £15,000 and public liability up to £1,000,000. It protects against things like damage, theft, and losing the drone mid-flight. Pilots all over the world, including in the USA and Canada, can benefit from this, even if they fly indoors.

Claims are handled by a team from Hiscox to ensure everything goes smoothly. Hobby pilots can easily find this insurance on the Moonrock website, which also shares info about flying drones safely.

Making Drone Insurance Easy

Simon Ritterband, who started Moonrock, talked about why it’s important for drone hobbyists to have good insurance. He said:

“Drones can often be an expensive hobby and pilots must also consider the fact their drone might actually injure somebody or damage property. That’s why we believe it is essential to have the right protection in place.

“There are currently hundreds of thousands of drone operators in the UK, with many of them flying for enjoyment, and we’re really pleased we can now offer this cover for pilots who may have previously found it impossible to get the right insurance. Now the right protection is only a click away.”

Ritterband added: “The commercial drone industry is growing at a rate of knots, and we don’t want to see uninsured hobby pilots affect the reputation of the highly professional commercial market. We think it’s incredibly important for hobby pilots to have adequate cover in place.

The new policy fits well with how the drone industry is becoming more professional. Moonrock supports both fun and business flying by making sure hobby pilots can get insured properly.

The new product underlines Moonrock Drone Insurance as a provider that can help all types of drone pilots. It now offers a whole suite of products and can insure individual hobbyists and large companies operating drones for commercial purposes. Its products support pioneering operations such as Beyond-Visual-Line-of-Sight flights, drone delivery to offshore wind turbines, agricultural seed spreading and the use of drones in TV and film.

Easy-to-Use Insurance Options

Moonrock keeps it simple with their insurance plans. Hobby pilots just need to answer a few questions online to get coverage. Ritterband shared:

“We’ve been developing this product for two years and really pleased to have Hiscox on board as our insurer, which we hope will bring peace of mind to the thousands of recreational pilots out there.”

We all enjoy having peace of mind when flying drones.
