Default Hangar Insurance

I recently purchased a 50X50 stand alone hangar, and am wondering about insurance on the structure. For those hangar owners in the crowd, how and with whom have you insured your hangar?
Thanks

Default Hangar too?

Talk to your homeowners insurance? If they can?t write it they may recommend a company. Another data point.

Default Hangar insurance

I had to get a commercial building policy on my hangar. Couldn't find a homeowners insurance that would touch it. Was actually cheaper than similar valued homeowners policy's. Call Drew Hargrave in Pensacola FL. 850-432-9912. Hiles McLeod Insurance Inc. Policy is through a company I think in PA.

Both of my hangars are covered on my homeowner's policy. Of course, they are located on my "homestead" property directly behind my house.

As a matter of fact, several years ago, I collected for hail damage on them. Insurance is with USAA.

We’re just like Mel - hangar covered by USAA on the same policy as our house because they are on the same property.

My hangar is on the county airport, hence a land-lease. However, USAA covers the hangar as "other structures external to the residence", with a limit to 10% of the policy value, but that definitely covers the value of my hangar. If it were valued above that amount, currently ~$70K, I could elect to increase that percentage for additional premium, or get a separate policy. (my old hangar is not valued above that, so I'm good to go).

It's important to note that it does not cover anything that would be considered an aircraft or aircraft part, but it does cover the structure, tools, furniture, and of course the beer fridge...

Default Falcon

My hangar is on a public airport (Jones Riverside Tulsa) and on a Tulsa airport land lease. Get insurance for structure and contents (RV is covered on separate policy) via Falcon and is around $750/yr for $80K coverage.

Similar to Mel and Paul, my hangar insurance is the same policy as my homeowners insurance. AAA (Auto Club) insurance has my homeowners (hangar and house on same lot) as well as my auto insurance. There is an extra discount for both.

I also have a free-standing hangar, so I can't just tack its insurance on to my homeowner's policy. Mine is on a ground lease with the city. I insure it with

Melina R. Daggett,

They've had the account for a while now and I've been satisfied. However, I haven't had any claims so I can't say how well something like that will be handled. But it's been easy dealing with them so far, and I expect to use them again next year.

I believe USAA is for U.S. military members and their eligible family members.
