non-owner insurance

Does anyone know of a company/agent who will write a $1MM non-owner
policy with $500K/seat rather than the typical $100K/seat?

Check with an insurance broker that specializes in aviation. Here's one in
the Seattle area:

I've checked with AOPA/Avemco and four other aviation brokers and so far
haven't found anyone who will go above $100K/seat. I was hoping someone
else actually had such coverage and could tell me how they obtained it.
My company has a program to let you fly GA on business trips, but one
of their requirements is 1,000,000/500,000 coverage.

When I owned a Skylane, me and my partner had insurance that he'd
obtained by virtue, I believe, of being a veteran (Naval aviator)
through a company I can't recall now. We had $1MM smooth for only
$1,200 per year. However, I've not found a company that will write
anything close to that since 9/11.

My co-owners and I have $1 million "smooth" liability coverage from AIG
Aviation for our '79 Arrow IV. We do pay a few hundred dollars extra per
year for this coverage, but we've never had any problem getting it. For
what it's worth, all three co-owners are instrument rated and have at least
500 hrs total time. Based upon what our broker told us, the IR may make a
difference in being able to get the "smooth" coverage.

I'm IR also with more than 500 hrs. Who is your broker?

Thanks,

Interesting. I wonder if this is a new vs. longstanding policy issue.
I just went back through my email records of companies I had contacted
previously about this and AIG is one that told me no way. Here's the

Hello,

My employer allows employees to fly general aviation aircraft on
company business trips. However, to participate requires that the
employee carry $1,000,000 of liability coverage with at least $500,000
per seat. Do you offer seat limits this high?
