Insurance

I've been with Costello for two gliders now.

They are really customer service oriented and seem to be focused on gliders with their association with SSA.

Their trailer insurance (included in your glider policy) has more coverage than other trailer policies I've looked at.

Totally saving this thread for when I buy my glider ... very different considerations than on other GA aircraft

Not heard this mentioned yet; Costello allows for a period of 'no flying' that will get you a rebate. There is a minimum number of months etc (cannot remember the details)

LL John, when I used them, did not have this capability

Costello will do a layup of 90 days or more. In that time you're out of currency, so for a hundred dollars or so it hardly seems worth it. Unless you live where the winter is crap.
Believe Avemco will do a layup with a minimum of 30-days.
With any carrier, you lose included renters insurance during the layup.

Who cares about "currency" when you fly a single seat ship?Â* Do the
carriers require a dual flight with a CFI before flying your ship again?

It's good to know that with Costello you are still covered for ground towing your trailer/glider during the winter layup period.
