I appreciate the link, but when I go to the online application and
"hangar" and
"occupation" are misspelled, and then go to the "send us email" link and
it
gives me an Apache server error, I tend to shy away.

They are probably very nice people, but their inattention to detail on
their
website makes me question the attention to detail of the business.

Don't blame the company, blame the web master it's usually contracted out
and typos are simple to do everyone dose them.

The company's name is on the site. They hired the web company. They
are responsible.

The webmaster may have made the original error, but I'm with Jim on this one.
The person/company who hired the webmaster failed to do basic quality control on
the web presentation. I'll avoid doing business with companies for similar
reasons. It shows a lack of attention to detail.

Which is sad for you. As an aircraft owner you may have just bypassed the
best aircraft insurance company out there. We've done the research. No
company will insure our fleet of airplanes at affordable prices except AUA.
Some will not insure them at all.

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!"

Have had prices and results (never a good thing) from Global.

Insurance s/b needed and not used.

Thx, {|;-)

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

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?

Rick,

Don't discuss limits with Jim. He's very "touchy" about discussing them.

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,

I wanted to give you a comparision of my insurance on a PA29-235 which
is probably comparable to your C182 if in the same age range. I pay
$900 a year.
