We are pleased to launch a specialist insurance product to protect models, tools and other equipment.

We have two different products – one designed for affiliated clubs, and the other for individual members. This is an important area of cover and the first policy that has been specifically designed for model owners and clubs and is exclusive to BMFA members.

We’ve been working closely with the BMFA to develop these insurance products. The policy covers accidental loss, damage and theft of models, controllers, tools and other kit.

Equipment is covered whilst in storage or away from storage. As you would expect, there isn’t cover for models whilst in motion (e.g. flying) because we wanted to keep the cost down.

For the clubs it was important that we developed a product that recognised that it’s not always possible for the club’s kit to be stored in conventional buildings, so the cover has been tailored to deal with this.  The policy will cover any equipment that is needed to run the club – whether it is owned by the club, or if the club is legally responsible for it. 

The insurance is provided by leading insurer, Hiscox, which has built an excellent reputation for providing first rate cover and a claims service second to none which means it is one of the most trusted and reputable insurers in the country.”

You can buy the cover online through this website.
