One nice thing about AVEMCO, is you deal direct with the company. Not
only does this mean no middle men, but when I call to ask a question,
I get the rep at AVEMCO who KNOWS THE ANSWER. They are excellent at
asking questions and I have never asked one they couldn't answer.
Impressive. Also, I am on floats for 3 months a year and AVEMCO is
great about prorating the insurance by the day. I call when the floats
are on, and I'm covered. The additional charges start that day. They
end the day I take them off. I've never had a claim, so I can't speak
to their claim payoff procedures. If anyone can, I'd be interested in
hearing what went on. The only other advice I have is to pick a high
deductible, I believer mine is $6500. Those small damage claims are
just recouped in higher insurance premiums the next three years, from
what I hear. Most of us who own airplanes can withstand a $6500 out of
pocket repair (if you cant what are you doing owning a plane?). That
is my take anyway.

For a good quote on Insurance, contact
a club with your type plane and ask them
if they have a group rate. IE: Cessna
152 club, Grumman Club or Cessna Pilots
club or Mooney club. Try them out.
I have a Grumman and built a Biplane so
it is on my Policy also. Who said clubs
don't get better rates. Just a thought.

Type clubs often get better rates and maybe even more important better
terms.

I don't understand this.

I was just at a meeting of our club (2 172s, a 182, and a 182RG) where
insurance was discussed. There were also some alumni in the meeting that
own their own aircraft.

I thought it pretty clear that the club is paying far more for insuring an
aircraft than a single owner.

Apples and oranges......what you are talking about is NOT a type club.
