    Fun fact about The State Farm policy

    But you do need commercial insurance Because you are now using your car for hire Call your insurance company ask if using the car for hire changes coverage Also do your taxes write off your miles and see if they ask if you used it for hire . Driving to meetings and deducting mileage way...

    Fun fact about The State Farm policy

    at the end of the day it’s a heads up As stated you are registering the drone commercially under part 107 it is no longer a hobby and while most agents may not even care apparently a few of them do and being that my drone wasn’t $10 bucks I’d rather err on the side of caution. I posted as a...

    Fun fact about The State Farm policy

    The particularly interesting point is that once you register under part 107 it’s a commercial registration . So really it’s not a personal article so ADD ALL THE CAPS YOU WANT it doesn’t change that fact

    Best drone insurance

    I have a thread running on this. Short Version Call and ask specific questions such as how and for what are you covered ? What if any are the ramifications of registering under Part 107 (if you think you may want the license)

    Fun fact about The State Farm policy

    You’re right of course to ask your agent but make sure you explain the Drone is registered as commercial. For instance if you run a graphic design business from your home and you have a computer designated for that it will not be covered under personal article. I spent 10 years in financial...

    Fun fact about The State Farm policy

    Once registered it’s not a personal article It’s a registered commercial craft You may “get away” with making claim but the reality is it would be insurance fraud if they were to dig into the claim. Drones are a great hobby just like flying a plane However if you run a commercial airplane...

    Fun fact about The State Farm policy

    Once the drone is registered 107 its commercial as far as insurance purposes go . It’s not covered as it is no longer a personal property . If you had a commercial vehicle and used it personally it’s still a commercial vehicle

    Fun fact about The State Farm policy

    Technically when you register under 336 that number can go on all of your drones (see previous topic I posted ) However under 107 they are each individually registered most likely State Farm will not accept the Third drone which is dual registered as personal use You are required to label your...
