I was pretty excited to email my insurance agent today and let her know that I was finally a certificated pilot. I was a little surprised to read her reply that I would need to wait until my December renewal to be re-rated for insurance purposes.
That seemed kind of strange to me, as I could go shop myself to other insurance companies now as a pilot rather than a student pilot and then cancel my existing policy and be refunded…I would think they wouldn't want me to do that?
It just seems weird to me that they would not want to rerate me, even if it meant writing a new policy and then canceling the old one.
For two years now I have been told that my rates would go down when I was no longer a student pilot… I think I am with a good company that a lot of RVers use, and I'm not mad...but I don't see why I shouldn't go shop if they don't want to do it for me.
I'm missing something?
