Default Cdn Insurance

I contacted Air1 (who I have dealt with for many years on my Champ) and also Magnes. Are there other brokers I should contact for a quote on my just completed RV-8? Would it be worthwhile getting a quote from any US brokers/underwriters? If yes - who?

Default C plan and copa

I am with c plan through eaa, but i have buddies on the field that left copa's plan a few years back when c plan came in and whooped their prices. Now in the last year or two i believe copa supplier has sharpened their pencils and is now a hundred or two a year CHEAPER than C Plan through EAA.

Either are fine but a couple hundred bucks pays for gas and hotel for a weekend away sooooo....shop around.

Default Cdn insurance

I found Bill at National Aviation insurance to be super to deal with. He is a pilot himself and cuts through the normal BS. I believe he gets the same rate as C- Plan but check and see. He was even going to come out and check me out in my RV if I couldn't find someone.

Good luck, Al

Default Home built insurance

Marsh Canada Aviation Gold (or Silver) Wings plan has excellent in flight hull coverage. Since taking a transition training course, my rates are lower than similar valued certified planes

I shop mine around every year, and have used EAA, Magnes, and Marsh. Every year it gets cheaper.

Default get quotes, then see if they will compete

I used to just get 3 quotes, then pick the lowest or best coverage....lowest or disappearing deductible, that kind of thing.
This year Air 1 emailed, and I replied that I already had 2 similar quotes, so wouldn't bother filling out all that paperwork again and waste their time and mine.
...so the owner calls me, I tell him what I'm quoted after 4 years with COPA, and he beats it by a good margin, albeit slightly different package/deductibles.
the tough part is it's hard to get the entire policy in your hands to review BEFORE you make the choice.

I believe C-PLAN exists because U.S. firms can't insure in Canada, and I've used them also.

Default Insurance

Similar question. I'm looking to add insurance now for my RV-7A since I''ve bought the engine and air frame is done. Value is going up and homeowners doesn't cover it. So I called Avemco. They will cover it both while I'm building it and once I get flying.

But I was a little shocked at price, compared to my Piper Cherokee. Should I expect Experimental Aircraft insurance to cost a lot more than insurance for a production Cherokee? How much more?

thanks

Never had a problem. Insurance companies are required to tell you what they're selling you, and that means providing a copy of the policy with all details upon request. Every company i've asked has sent one.
