Newer 210's are 6 place
Older 210's have a complicated gear & gear/door system that has caused some
gear up situations.
Large engine.
Fast airplane.
Some are pressurized.
Some are turbo charged.
Some are both.

Combine any of the above and the insurance rates skyrocket.

I talked to a 1988 C210 owner recently and he said that he was very willing
to pay the extra premium for a turbo 210 over a non turbo 210, but when he
asked about a pressurized T-210 the rate was absolutely astronomical.

Because, just as the Bonanza, they tend to be "Doctor/Lawyer"
airplanes

A C-210? Didn't think they had the same allure as Bonanzas & Barons for
the MD/JD set...

This insurance agent told me the 210 was a special case, I assume due
to loss rate. There are some companies that won't write policies for
210s at all. I just can't figure what it is about that plane that would
make getting insured such a hassle.
