United Kingdom - Care Refresh or Insurance

[Nels5320]

Afternoon all,
Just bought my first drone; Mavic Pro with the fly more combo. First flight and loving it.

My question is simple really; and mainly posed to other UK users. Care Refresh or Insurance? And if so, any recommendations of insurers.

Thanks everyone.

Welcome mate, where are you based?

I'd second what @RaRaRasputin said mate. I'm a new pilot and I went with the Refresh route. I was put off the house insurance idea incase I ever needed to make a claim, it would affect my house insurance premiums for years thereafter. And again as above, there's only one firm that does it and nobody we know has made a drone claim with Aviva yet so it's not been proven (how easily they'll pay out).

I went exactly the same as RaRaRasputin

Backmeup for insurance and with FPVUK for liability cover.

Please Note - As of 20th September 2017 - BackMeup.co.uk will no longer cover drones for new policies.

Current policy holders will remain covered as long as the policy remains active.

Do you know why?

Guess I was lucky to insure with them last week.
