Title: Aircraft Renter's Insurance
Post by: Serenity on March 06, 2009, 03:24:25 PM

I'm kinda new to the concept of aircraft renter's insurance, and no one around me has any suggestions, so I thought I would come here. Do any of you have an insurance policy for renting aircraft? And if so, what company do you have? Thank you!

i have mine through avemco. they were recommended by my flight club, and gave me a binder almost instantly.
 it's a pretty painless process online. i haven't had any incidents, so i don't know how they are to deal with otherwise.....ooooo.....and they were about $60 cheaper for better coverage than i was getting from a local insurance agent.


their site is www dot avemco dot com

 i know you know to not spell out dot in the addy.  :D

They will probably want some basic info and numbers form your log book.  Was lucky enough that my flight schools had insurance that covered us included into the price.  Course now, the wife is involved so no flying for me.  Been like that for 7 years now.  Either have the money and no time to fly, or you have the time and no money.  Vicious, vicious circle.

I got mine through AOPA last year which ended up being AIG.   :O  It was the cheapest I was able to find.  The questionaire had things like total time, XC time as well as the same questions for only the past six months.

If you are eligible the most affordable insurance is USAA and its also the best coverage money can buy.  :salute
