Default Builder's Insurance Suggestions

I currently have builder's insurance from Avemco for just over $300.00
USD. Anyone else have a suggestion for a cheaper rate?

Much Appreciated in Advance.

As far as I know, they're the only game in town for that.

Thats the cheapest around. Thats who i used and i sell aviation insurance.
Every other company reguires liablity with the builders insurance. And if your
think about it, 300 a year is pretty cheap.

Simply amazing!!!!

From those that would not buy hull insurance for their flying aircraft
to those that want to protect the parts and pieces of what is yet
to become an aircraft.

Take all kinds.

FWIW...
I've thought about it and I don't see it as all that cheap given the
meager risks involved in my neighborhood and home. Therefore,
I consider this a good self insurance bet. Especially, if the engine
is not on site or of minimal market value.

So, what do you get for $300?
Fire and theft protection for parts and pieces of a project that
requires nothing but work that lives in your garage 24 hours a day?
Unless you're hugely paranoid, it's a lot of money for minimal risk,
IMO.

FULL coverage on my FLYING aircraft is a tad over $700.
Now that..... is pretty cheap.

YMMV.

Depends on the kit. I had a F1 rocket kit. Thats 35 k right there. I couldnt
afford to lose it in a fire. Also if your took a loan out to buy the kit, most
likly insurance is required.

I suppose u wouldnt get renters insurance casue thats 150 bucks for 30k in
contents lol. IMHO

What the Ins company says they will cover and what they really pay out
after a loss is the true story here. It probably would be cheaper to
get a rider on the homeowners policy if you are that worried. Either
way you will get short changed for them.


U should read your insurnace policies so u know what is covered and what isnt.
Also a homeowners policy will not cover aircraft in any way shape or form so
parts for an aircraft arent covered. Also there is a limit to property that is
not at the address of the homeowners policy. Its all up to the person, if u
can afford to lose what your kit cost u, dont buy insurance. If you cant buy
insurance.

One set of magic words is an "inland marine" rider. Can be written to cover
pratcically _anything_, anywhere, for damage from _any_ source. Tends to
*not* be inexpensive coverage.
