Warmi Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Not bad at all .. with every quote you gonna have to detail your latest insurance claim , which will always put in their risk category - insurance companies are run by strict numbers or they go bust, there is no escaping that .

FlyingMonkey Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Remember also that hull insurance is not a requirement. Liability only coverage should be very inexpensive, and you can self-insure on the hull or insure only for not-in-motion. It's a little scary, but I know several owners that operate that way. It would probably make you a safer pilot by making you very conservative about risk taking with your airplane, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingMonkey Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'd totally go liability only if my best quote was over $5k. After all, 1-2 year's premium is a minor incident, ten years premium starts to creep up toward hull value at those rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 @Odowneyeng Make sure you weren't being quoted an instruction and rental policy. That's what it sounds like you were being quoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animosity2k Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 New student pilot here (20 hours total flying when policy was setup) with a 2012 CTSLi that I purchased. For $1,000,000 liability and $115,000 hull insurance w/ a $0 deductible I am paying $1720 annually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy A Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I definitely recommend Gregg Ellsworth with AIR. He just provided me with a list of quotes, several of which were cheaper than staying with my current provider's policy. Quick and easy process. According to him, there has been a turn in the market and most insurance companies are higher than last year. He thinks the insurance companies are ready to make some money.

Runtoeat Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 My insurance went up $300. $1080 last year and $1302 for new policy. AIG with Chris Wolbert. 1M with $90K hull. I called Chris and asked "why" with over 1,070 hrs. in my CTSW with no claims. Chris said that all insurance companies raised rates for 2020 and my quote is the cheapest of the 3 quotes he looked at. One quote was over $2,500. Someone here said the insurance companies decided to make money. Probably as simple as that. Insurance companies are cash generating entities and when they need to fatten their reserves (and profits), they just up the rates. Warren Buffets immense wealth is a case in point.
