Global Drone HQ Protection Plans
Drone Protection Plans:
Fly With Confidence.
Global Drone HQ Protection Plans, backed by CPS, safeguard your investment against accidental crashes, drops, and hardware failures that manufacturer warranties will not touch.
Add Protection to Your QuoteBuilt for the Aircraft You Actually Fly
Consumer, commercial, and enterprise drones are all eligible under one plan, rated to your purchase price, from flagship platforms to autonomous drone-in-a-box systems.
Who Is CPS?
Consumer Priority Service (CPS) is one of the most established product protection providers in the United States. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in New York, CPS holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, the highest in the industry, and has spent more than three decades servicing award-winning extended protection plans. Global Drone HQ is an authorized CPS dealer, which means every plan we sell is registered directly with CPS and serviced through their nationwide claims network with US-based support.
Why Choose a Protection Plan?
Manufacturer warranties cover defects. They do not cover the most common way drones actually die: pilot error. A momentary lapse near a tree line, a hard landing, a gust at the wrong moment. If you have been searching for a drone extended warranty that actually covers crashes, this is it: accidental damage from crashes, drops, and impacts, plus mechanical, hardware, and electrical failures, with repairs performed by factory-authorized technicians. If your aircraft cannot be repaired, CPS replaces it or buys it out at full replacement value up to your purchase price. Consumer, commercial, and enterprise drones are all eligible under the same plan, and coverage travels with you internationally.
How It Works
- Purchase your drone and add CPS protection. Coverage begins on your date of purchase; CPS takes over on day 31. Available as a 1-year or 2-year plan on any drone we sell.
- We register your plan. Global Drone HQ registers your coverage with CPS, and you receive your CPS Warranty Number and client portal access at cpscentral.com.
- File a claim anytime, any way. By phone, email, SMS, chat, or the online portal, whichever is easiest.
- Ship your drone in for service. The factory-authorized team handles the repair once received, at CPS's Drone Repair Center or directly with the manufacturer.
- Back in the air. Repaired or replaced, your drone is returned ready to fly, with a typical 3 to 4 day repair turnaround.
Filing a Claim
Contact CPS directly through the client portal, by email at cs@cpscentral.com, by phone at (800) 905-0443, or by SMS and chat at (347) 621-7180. Have your CPS Warranty Number, aircraft serial number, and receipt ready. A low deductible, set by your drone's price tier, applies at the time of claim, and you can file unlimited claims until total repair costs reach your original purchase price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the plan cover crashes caused by pilot error?
Yes. Accidental damage from crashes, drops, and impacts is exactly what the plan is designed for, including incidents that are your fault. This is the coverage manufacturer warranties do not provide.
Are commercial and enterprise drones covered?
Yes. Consumer, commercial, and enterprise drones are all eligible under the same plan, which makes it a fit for public safety agencies, inspection teams, and drone service providers.
Are batteries and propellers covered?
No. Batteries and propellers are consumable items and are excluded, as are accessories that did not come in the manufacturer's box. The aircraft, camera, and gimbal are covered.
When does coverage start?
Your plan is active from the purchase date. There is a 30-day claims hold to prevent DOAs and manufacturer defects, which your manufacturer warranty covers; CPS claims open on day 31 and run for the length of your 1-year or 2-year term.
How many claims can I file?
Unlimited claims during your coverage term, until total repair costs reach your original purchase price. Coverage continues after each repair.
Who repairs my drone?
Factory-authorized technicians only, OEM-trained and using genuine parts. Repairs happen at CPS's Drone Repair Center or directly with the manufacturer, with a typical 3 to 4 day turnaround. Loaner units are not provided, so fleet operators may want a spare aircraft for zero-downtime operations.
What happens if my drone cannot be repaired?
CPS provides replacement options based on your program terms, or buys the unit out at full replacement value, up to your original purchase price.
Does coverage transfer to a replacement drone?
No. If your aircraft is replaced, the new unit requires its own protection plan. Ask us and we will quote coverage for the replacement.
What is the deductible?
A low deductible applies at the time of claim, set by your drone's price tier. When we quote your plan, we include the exact deductible for your aircraft so there are no surprises.
How do I file a claim?
Call (800) 905-0443, email cs@cpscentral.com, use SMS or chat at (347) 621-7180, or log in to your CPS client portal at cpscentral.com. You will need your CPS Warranty Number, serial number, and receipt.
How do I buy a plan?
Protection plans are available as 1-year or 2-year options on any drone purchased from Global Drone HQ. Request it with your quote, or contact us to add coverage to a recent purchase.
