Have you ever been insured with Avemco?

I have for the last 4 years. My rates have remained constant or decreased
every year as I have added hours & ratings, despite increasing the stated
value of my airplane.

Another point is to compare the same policies. Avemco doesn't do the ultra-
cheap policies; for example all of their policies come with a generous
open pilot clause. As this matters to me, I'm happy to pay the Avemco rate.

I have never insured with Avemco because their rates are so horrible.
They send me a form every spring because they know my insurance is due
in May. Every year I fill it out to see if they've come to their
senses. Every year they are 50% higher than my broker comes in at.
Makes no sense. The Cub crowd seems to like them, they have the lowest
rates there.
