Just renewed for $1100, full coverage on my -6 through AIG.

Some companies won't insure me because of my 1500' runway.

Full coverage through Nation Air was $884/ yr. I am instrument rated and keep it hangared, plus 1200 hrs total time. Good deal in my opinion

Many factors go into rates. I am not instrument rated.

Another data point that I found interesting - I am a named insured pilot on another aircraft that went into repair for a landing gear issue on insurance, so it has an open claim. I contacted our agent and asked for a quote on my RV9A since I expect to have it flying within about 6 months, and I was turned down for the quote simply because there was an OPEN insurance claim on another aircraft that I was named insured on. AIG and NationAir both declined to quote and said it was for the same reason, that there was currently an open claim with my name attached to it. The other airplane comes out of the shop today, I'll give the paperwork a few weeks to settle and try again.

Default RV Insurance

I'll put in a big plug for Hardy Aviation Insurance. They are just the kind of airplane loving folks you want to do business with. My rates were very competitive but the real test was when my RV-4 was totaled due to storm damage (hangar doors failed).

I called them while driving to the airport to see the carnage. I got an immediate call back from Randy Hardy, the agency owner who said...
"Take a few pictures, do what you need to protect the plane, then go home and have a beer. We'll sort it out tomorrow." From there on, they were nothing but fair and helpful. I'm not sure what more anyone could ask of an insurance agent.

When you call, ask for Tim Wiebe (owns a Glasair, but I try to not hold that against him).
