Hull/Liability Insurance Recommendations
The BlueOnBlue 182 is coming up for insurance (hull & liability) renewal in
about fifteen days. I'm very careful to get competitive quotes using the same coverage. So far it is: Phoenix $805 AIG $920 Global $939 (current carrier with no renewal discount) Any suggestions on another quote that can be done inside a week? Any COMMENTS, good or bad, about the two lowest bidders? Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres. Cyberchapter EAA Tech. Counselor http://www.rst-engr.com |

This is a link to a recent 16-post thread on the Cherokee 235 BBS that you may find relevant: http://www.cabo-rental.net/cherokee2...ML/000475.html Your numbers sound low for an equivalent airplane. It'd be interesting to hear your take. Don |

It was paid promptly with none of this "get three written estimates" BS, and my premiums did not go up the next year.

Without knowing the hull value you're insuring it's hard to tell if those
are good quotes, but generally those sound like really good numbers. There aren't many other markets for aviation insurance. The ones you haven't mentioned are US Specialty (USSIC), USAIG, London Aviation Underwriters, Aerospace Insurance Managers and Avemco. London and AIM are more specialty markets for hard-to-place insurance risks, so they aren't likely to be competetive price-wise with the other markets. You can call Avemco direct since they are a direct writer and don't work through the brokerage system. Your insurance agent should be able to get quotes from USSIC and USAIG for you. Phoenix is an excellent company (I used to work for them) and they have an excellent claims handling reputation. Jon Howard "Jim Weir" wrote in message ...

What possible difference would that make? All that should matter is that I give
the same information to each company from whom I solicit a bid. Because it seems to make a difference to you, $45K hull, $500K liability limited to $100K/passenger. What I was trying to avoid was a long list of why this is the wrong coverage, how much the hull is actually worth ... I don't need it. Jim (TripFarmer) shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -It would help if you gave the deatils of your coverage. - - - -Trip Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.
