Cox Mahon Expands Specialist Offering with New Commercial Drone Insurance

Cox Mahon, the specialist insurance broker with offices in London and Shrewsbury, is pleased to announce the availability of commercial drone insurance cover, that has been introduced in response to growing demand from UK businesses adopting drone technology across a wide range of sectors.

Drones are now widely used in industries such as architecture, surveying, construction, agriculture, film and media, security, and emergency response. As their commercial use increases, organisations must ensure they meet the legal requirement for appropriate insurance before operating a drone in any professional capacity. The commercial drone insurance solution is designed to support businesses in meeting these obligations while safeguarding their operational activities.

Commercial Drone Insurance

The policy offers comprehensive protection, covering key risks such as accidental damage, theft, loss, and fly-aways. Worldwide cover is also available as standard, making the solution suitable for firms working internationally or undertaking cross-border projects. Whether a business operates a single drone or manages a larger fleet, the cover can be tailored to match their needs.

The commercial drone insurance has been developed to align with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and EU EC 785/2004 requirements, helping companies demonstrate the level of compliance required before undertaking commercial flights. Public liability protection is a core feature, providing financial security in the event of injury or property damage involving a drone used for business purposes.

The product caters to a broad range of applications, from aerial filming to land mapping and security monitoring. Additional options allow clients to refine their protection, with the choice between straightforward liability-only policies or more comprehensive cover including hull, payload, and equipment. This flexibility ensures that organisations can secure the level of protection that best fits their operations and budget.

Lisa Langley, Cert CII and Team Leader for Professional Risks at Cox Mahon, commented that the introduction of commercial drone insurance reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to supporting clients whose risk profiles are evolving through the adoption of new technology. She notes that reliable, compliant insurance has become essential for companies wishing to maximise the benefits of drone-based activities while meeting regulatory expectations.

Businesses seeking further information on commercial drone insurance or wishing to discuss other specialist insurance solutions are encouraged to contact Cox Mahon for professional guidance and support.
