A system for analyzing risk for operating drones, the system comprising a mobile device comprising program code that when executed by a programmable processor causes the mobile device to determine a location of a user of the mobile device by accessing a location tracking system, transmit the location to a server, receive, from the server, geospatial data and temporal data for a surrounding area of the location, calculate risks of operating a drone for a duration of time in a given coverage area within the surrounding area using at least the geospatial data and temporal data, generate a quote for an insurance policy for operating the drone for the duration of time in the given coverage area based on the calculated risks, facilitate a purchase of the insurance policy with the server, and generate a timer for the duration of time for operating the drone in the given coverage area.
