What exactly are the insurance requirements?

I rented at Soar Minden for two weeks in mid-August, 2004. It was a
fantastic experience. Thermals were 12-15,000' most every day.

Insurance required was $25,000/$250,000 bodily/property liability and
$25,000 hull liability. I got mine from Avemco. It takes a few minutes
to get the policy and it can be done at the office at Soar Minden. A
one year policy was $395, but once you cancel, you get most of that
back.

Also note that Soar Minden offer attractive 5, 7, 10 day packages that
include a daily high tow, O2, chute, hotel, transfers, transport, and
some instruction time. They made the entire experience as painless as
possible.

Just to note, it seems that the required limits have increased. When I was
there this past January the requirement was $40,000 hull, and I don't
recall the rest. There was also an option to pay Soar Minden a relatively
small waiver fee which would clear you for any liability above $40,000,
leaving you responsible for the first $40,000 out of pocket. I didn't
quite understand how these two make sense together, but that's how it was.

Interesting tip about the cancellation, I didn't know that before. I
didn't end up needing anything from Soar Minden because I was only there
for a short time and didn't fly alone, but I'll keep that in mind for the
next time.

I think my brain temporarily shut off while writing that last sentence.
What I meant to say was that I didn't end up needing insurance or a
waiver, since I never flew solo during my time there.
