Why leave? I've had good luck with Falcon. 

However, never needed to put in a claim. 

I was the other party once in a Starr claim that went well.

Air Capital is nice too. They were the only ones that could do a 5m liability policy on a 200k airplane. My Dads Taylorcraft is currently insured thru them.

They all use the same underwriters.

Currently, the lowest cost underwriter is Global. They have the best rates.

Both Air Capital and Falcon were going to charge the same rate. 

ACI contact below.

I have used Pat Costello for many years.  He stepped up when AOPA was being unreasonable.  He shops the insurance around each year and gives us options.  Very good service and communication.

Had Global handle a hail claim for me. Great adjuster that not only cut the check, but organized the repairs with a great shop and stayed on top of everything from the start.

I just changed from Falcon to BWIFLY.com because the price was about 1/2 what Falcon quoted on my renewal.  I had no claims and more hours now but Falcon still wanted a significant increase over last year.

Remember, Falcon (nor any other broker) decides what to "quote". They get quotes from insurance carriers and pass those quotes on to you.

I switched to falcon because of the Usaa connection. That is saving me a few buck, probably will cover 5 or 6 cases of a good import beer.:D

Over the years, for several airplanes, I have used Aircraft and Marine Assurance, Vancouver, WA, 800.466.4944. They are great folks to work with and are very thorough in their analyses of the policies they recommend. Can't beat 'em.

Adam Martz at global (ajuster) maybe one of the nicest guys I have ever dealt with.  I did have a claim and they were tremendous.  I would not ever take my business from them.

+1 for Wendy Wenk.  I moved from the AOPA Agency to Wenk back in 2013 and haven't looked back.  Extraordinary service and advocacy.

True but BWIFLY found a carrier (XL Catlin) that Falcon didn't.

Along these lines, I'm sure that answers will vary, but I'd guess that different brokers cater to "different" customers.  Some might find the best rates for bazillion-hour ATPs, while others might find the best rates for student pilots.  Also, I'm sure the answers will be different for different model Mooneys, as replacement costs will vary.

So, would it be appropriate to ask what everyone pays, along with experience and model?  Or is that too personal?

Any experience getting coverage for Mooneys based on grass strips? I have to switch brokers due to moving out of state and they told me it can be a little more difficult with a grass runway at home base. Currently coverage is with Starr.

I have recently had a client with a new M20V get insurance for 5 days only while in the US. I have never seen an insurance agency take care of the issues presented with more professionalism. Please consider Tom. His team is stellar

+1 for Airpower!  Every year they make it simple!  

I called TJ about 7 years ago, while working in Phoenix for about 4 months.  We had lunch, a chat about insurance options, flying & business.  He gave me a source for a hangar, without a wait and someone to do an owner assist annual while I was transient.  The went the extra mile, just to help out!
