DID YOU KNOW insurance companies can have a rate change at anytime?

Just my impression. I had insurance through EAA.

We had avemco on a sr22t at a out 6300 a year, which was at least a couple Grand less than anyone else. That seems common across the cirrus market. I have asked for quotes on experimentals and I agree with you, they seem to avoid them if at all possible. Seems like some are competitive in some markets and not others

Makes me glad I have the RV. That premium covers all my fixed costs plus a good 60hrs of flight time.

It depends on a many things, such as hull value, liability limits, pilot experience and age, accident history, etc. I posted my last quotes (9/27/19) for my insurance renewal on my RV-8 with all the details in this post:

It will be interesting to see this year's quotes.

28% increase for a June renewal for my RV-10 through Falcon. Will be calling to find other options if possible.

Call Denise Porter 760-519-8605 or dporter@avwestinsurance.com . She got me thousands $$ less on my gyroplane, my T-41a, and now my RV-8. She’s real good with experimentals and got me a $256 discount when I renewed my policy this year with Old Republic.

Last year, I used the AOPA recommended agency. This year, quoted through Gallagher, increased the value another $30,000, and the policy was $30 cheaper than last year.

7000 TT, 150 in type..

I noticed that too when I requested a quote. AOPA would be $40 more expensive than the other quote with the same underwriter. I guess they have to get a little chunk of everything. I continue to be an AOPA member for their pilot insurance but I don’t buy their aircraft insurance.

i just renewed the insurance with Global thru Gallagher. From last year
it went up 9.5% for exactly the same coverage. My 8A has been flying for
11 years now and the rates today are still much better than 6 or 7 years ago
(same coverage, but with AIG). YMMV

We've noticed a few posts about people shopping for insurance and wanted to send a friendly reminder that all brokers get the same quotes. That's as long as the same information is given to the insurance company. Instead of shopping for insurance, make sure you are with a broker you can trust to shop for you at every renewal.

Below is a link to a previous post about this that offers more details.
