Rick,
Don't discuss limits with Jim. He's very "touchy" about discussing them. Trip In article , says... Jim, Those rates sound extremely low for a Cessna 182 of any vintage. What is the hull value you are insuring? What is the liability coverage (if you are getting less than $1 million smooth you may very well have inadequate coverage as the "$100,000 sublimit" policies mean only $100,000 is available per injured/deceased person, which is not adequate for such a claim and puts your assets at risk)? It sounds as if your broker has shopped the market. The companies you referenced are all very reputable. The concern I have is that the quote you have just seems too low by a large factor. I would be surprised to find satisfactory coverage for a Cessna 182 for under $2,000 a year. All the best, Rick Jim Weir wrote in message news:5kuom0lellcqee5m6nn2o44i9v272 ... The BlueOnBlue 182 is coming up for insurance (hull & liability) renewal in about fifteen days. I'm very careful to get competitive quotes using the same coverage. So far it is: Phoenix $805 AIG $920 Global $939 (current carrier with no renewal discount) Any suggestions on another quote that can be done inside a week? Any COMMENTS, good or bad, about the two lowest bidders? Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres. Cyberchapter EAA Tech. Counselor http://www.rst-engr.com |

Rick...
I appreciate you and Trip's concern about my coverage, but I've structured my finances to pay a minimum of taxes, insurance, and still give me and my family peace of mind that we are doing what is required of us. I would argue that your advice of $1M smooth is NOT valid in all cases. I am also very aware of what my hull is worth and what it would cost me to replace it. I have absolutely no intention of over-insuring anything I own. "Satisfactory" is in the mind of the satisfactee. Jim (Rick Durden) shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -Jim, - -Those rates sound extremely low for a Cessna 182 of any vintage. What -is the hull value you are insuring? What is the liability coverage -(if you are getting less than $1 million smooth you may very well have -inadequate coverage as the "$100,000 sublimit" policies mean only -$100,000 is available per injured/deceased person, which is not -adequate for such a claim and puts your assets at risk)? - -It sounds as if your broker has shopped the market.

No harm in getting a quote from Avemco. 800-283-7019.

Jim Weir wrote: What possible difference would that make? All that should matter is that I give the same information to each company from whom I solicit a bid. Because it seems to make a difference to you, $45K hull, $500K liability limited to $100K/passenger. I have a $70K hull on my 182, $1 mil/$100K per passenger. I paid $1050 last May to Global. This is my second year with them. I had USAIG for the 5 years prior to that. They were about $50 more than Global. So your numbers look pretty good. |

I would be surprised to find satisfactory coverage for a Cessna 182 for under $2,000 a year. I have never paid anywhere near $2K for my 182. Even Avemco, which is never in the ballpark, has never given me a quote over $2K. But then I also don't have smooth coverage. Don't need it, won't pay for it. |

Jim, I agree with you totally. I don't make too much of appearences, but
there is a limit to what you can live with. It's not worth the self doubt that will creep in everytime there is a problem - "I knew they were shoddy, why did I not just pass on them!"
