There are other options out there as well. Don't know much about them though. |

I'm with LLJohns right now. They were the best bang for the buck when I got quotes. However, I'm up for renewal and will be getting fresh quotes.

The little I have looked, Costello/SSA is easy (they know what we do) and is pretty good. Other insurers may have little clue about sailplanes, so......either charge a lot or are a PITA "if" you have a claim.
Pays to really read the fine print..... |

Value sailplane + trailer = $32,000 When I owned a Phoebus C, my head hit and broke the canopy when towed through a 20 knot Moriarty thermal. I was insured with LLJohns and the claim was handled quickly and without a hassle. Both LLJohns and Costello are excellent. I ended up with Costello because LLJohns would not insure my RS-15, because it was a home built glider, and Costello would. Premiums are about the same. If you do not fly during the winter months, you can save on premiums with Costello. Mike |

To all who responded, thanks a bunch as your info will allow me to do serious comparisons.
Sailplane is an LS3a, 1979, completely refinished. Trailer is an older Comet, that needs a little tlc. |

Check with Avemco, a little more than costello, but will defend a claim when they are suing for everything forever. I have seen them in action and was sold. probably a 100 bucks mire percyear but worth it in my opinion.

Never had a claim and I couldn't say anything bad about them. However, after I sold the H301, they declined to insure my new (to me) high-performance two-seater despite it being in the standard category. I am now insured through LLJohns. Their rates are very competitive and they are very responsive. Uli 'AS' |
