Today's episode is all about drone insurance.  We received a call from JP in North Carolina, who wants to know if he needs drone insurance and if we had any tips about purchasing it.

Luckily, we were able to bring our friend Joe Ernster on this episode to speak with us about drone insurance.  Joe is a UAV insurance expert working at the Bullock Insurance Agency.  We talk to Joe about all aspects of drone insurance, from pricing to filing claims.  Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional drone pilot, it is important to understand drone insurance and how it works.  You won't want to miss this episode!

Bullock Insurance Agency is offering FREE INSURANCE QUOTES to all Drone U members!  Make sure to take advantage of their offer while it lasts!

Thanks for the question JP!  Fly safe!
