Drone Crash Cover & Insurance

Peace of mind during your next flight

Having drone crash cover in place is an important consideration and can save you thousands.

After all, accidents can happen!

There are several options to give you peace of mind during your next flight.

Repair Refresh

heliguy™ Repair Refresh

heliguy™ Repair Refresh is a no-hassle drone crash cover policy.

Available across the DJI product range - including gimbals and cameras - the cover is valid for a year and ensures your equipment is repaired or replaced with no hidden fees. Repair Refresh requires a one-off fee, which includes the cost of the cover and the replacement/repair. Because of this, heliguy™ Repair Refresh tends to be more cost effective than DJI Care Refresh.

Benefits of Repair Refresh include free UK return and delivery; the policy covering pilot error and water damage; and no excess on claims.

Repair Refresh also covers the drone and the controller, whereas DJI Care Refresh only covers the drone.

DJI Care Refresh

DJI Care Refresh is a protection plan that provides DJI products with coverage for a range of accidental damages and natural wear.

It offers up to two years of coverage and numerous repairs/replacements, depending on the plan you choose.

DJI Care Refresh requires a fee to pay for the cover, and then subsequent fees for each repair/replacement.

You will receive a prompt to purchase DJI Care Refresh upon activation of your drone.

DJI Care Refresh is different to heliguy™ Repair Refresh.

The separate DJI Care Enterprise package covers DJI enterprise equipment. Heliguy™ does offer this crash cover on DJI Enterprise products.

Drone Insurance

Drone insurance is well worth having, giving you peace of mind that you are protected should something go wrong.

Drone insurance covers you for damage to your drone, or against claims made by someone whose property your drone may accidentally damage.

heliguy™ have partnered with Coverdrone to offer the most comprehensive, specialist drone insurance in the UK.

All coverdrone policies are compliant with the EU regulation EC785/2004 and provide Public Liability insurance along with drone and equipment cover.

Drone Insurance as a Hobbyist

If you are flying a drone for fun or as a hobbyist, you don’t technically need drone insurance. However, it still might be worth taking out a policy, just in case something does happen. A number of options are available, but a pay as you fly policy may well be prudent.

Drone Insurance as a Commercial Pilot

If you are operating your drone for commercial purposes, then by law you are required to have Public Liability insurance that is compliant with EC 785/2004.
