iToo Speciality Drone Insurance
What Drone Insurance offers
Our specialist partner, iTOO's Drone Insurance covers loss, damage and liability related to the drone itself, as well as premises, hangar keepers and product liability. You can also insure against the loss of data collected by your drone. Hollard’s Drone Insurance cover is available throughout South Africa and is suitable for organisations in any sector of the economy.
Why choose us?
What sets the Hollard drone policy apart is that we only insure registered drones that are operated by qualified drone pilots. In this way, we are able to minimise drone owners’ risk and keep premiums to a minimum. Insured operators must hold a remote pilot’s licence (RPL), which entails:
- Passing a medical exam in order to determine your physical competence.
- Obtain a radio telephony licence, which includes knowing all the rules that govern the act of flying a drone for commercial purposes.
- Passing theory and practical exams.
- Being at least 18 years old.
- Being proficient in English in order to comply with international air control standards.
- Anyone interested in obtaining an RPL need not own a drone or have any experience in flying one. Hollard has close ties with SA’s leading drone pilot training schools, and the South African Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Through these relationships, we can help you to get licensed, registered, insured and up in the air!
Let your business take to the sky knowing it's covered by an expert on the ground
From the mining sector to construction, film, agriculture, security and any industry in between, if you use drones for business and operate with a commercial pilot’s licence, then iTOO’s Commercial Drone & Unmanned Aviation cover is just for you.
As a commercial operator, from a start-up to a multi-corporate, you will know that without comprehensive cover, even the slightest fault in flight path could lead to insurmountable claims. With iTOO, you can take to the sky knowing you’re grounded by the best experts in the industry.
