Moonrock announces new cover for ‘Non-Standard’ Drone operations

Award-winning drone insurance provider, Moonrock Insurance, announces the launch of their new drone insurance product, designed to provide coverage for all non-standard drone operations.
 
As a result of the exponential increase in requests for insurance for non-standard drone operations; such as Beyond Visual Line of Sight drones (BVLOS), heavy lift drones, swarm displays and crop spraying drones, to name a few. Moonrock have developed a new platform specifically tailored to these types of operations. 
 
To provide exceptional service, Moonrock assessed not only new ways of pricing drone insurance but also explored new insurers. Insurers who were looking to underwrite new risks in this relatively new class of insurance. 
 
Following 6 months of intensive work, Moonrock is delighted to have partnered with Apollo to provide insurance. 
 
“If the drone industry is to unlock its full potential and hit the growth targets estimated to be £45billion by 2030 and upwards of half a million new jobs,” said Simon Ritterband, “then the support and backing from such seasoned aviation insurance professionals, is vitally important.” Ritterband, founder and Managing Director of Moonrock said the firm is excited about the new opportunities that are presenting themselves in the drone market.
 
Martin Jackson of Apollo shares similar enthusiasm about the drone industry: “the drone industry is an exciting area of innovation that can drive positive change in the UK economy, as well as offering environmental benefits, and is a keen area of focus for the UK government.” Jackson further comments on the “intensive work with Moonrock to create an insurance product that specifically caters for the growth of commercial drones and we are pleased to be leading the way in underwriting this and other new risks in emerging industries.”
 
Firmly established as one of the leading specialist drone insurers, Moonrock already provides cover to thousands of pilots. Insuring everything from recreational flyers, small commercial operators to large fleets of drones across multiple industries such as film and TV, agriculture and construction.
 
Moonrock Drone Insurance policies also cover areas previously hard to obtain, including invasion of privacy, worldwide cover and insurance for material damages to equipment and public liability.

Moonrock launches the UK’s first dedicated drone insurance policy for hobbyists and recreational users

Moonrock Drone Insurance has launched the UK’s first dedicated drone insurance policy for hobbyists and recreational users.

In addition to their commercial policy, this new drone insurance will for the first time give consumers the opportunity to purchase cover for accidental drone damage as well as 3rd party public liability, fly-a-ways, and theft.

The policy is available to click and purchase online at hobby.moonrockinsurance.com providing instant insurance cover, alongside advice and support from drone insurance professionals.

The product is underwritten by Munich Re Innovation Syndicate who provide the capacity and insurance expertise.

Simon Ritterband managing director of Moonrock Drone Insurance commented, “Since launching the Moonrock commercial policy 5 years ago, it has always been our long-term ambition to offer a similar service to the recreational market. With the number of UK drone hobbyists currently 200,000 +, we see this as the perfect time to launch into the market.

In the past the public perception of drones has not always been positive.  However with the recent introduction of a government and CAA mandated drone registration system, perception has significantly improved in the wider community. We are definitely seeing a growth in the use of drones in the non-commercial space, such as photography enthusiasts sing drones to capture photographs and videos from a birds-eye view.” 

This new drone insurance policy fills the gap in the market to provide drone hobbyists with the much-needed cover that has previously only been available to commercial pilots.
