Skyatty Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I received a good quote today for a new policy from Chartis Aerospace Insurance Managers (formerly AIG, I believe). Anyone have any experience with the company concerning handling of claims? Seems to be a solid company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooneyMitch Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I also received a very good quote from Chartis. I informed my AOPA Ins. rep. and AOPA honored the Chartis quote.............very interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax88 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 That's good to know, I just got my AOPA quote. I think I'll run it by Chartis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Who is the underwriter for AOPA? I dont think they are insuring aircraft themselves. AOPA financing is just plain old Bank of America and what you'd expect from them, I am shocked AOPA offers this with their name on it. The AOPA rep even agreed with us.

John Pleisse Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I just renewed with Falcon and got a million smooth with USAIG, $165k haul for right around $2k. I had one claim with USAIG, no hitches ($7,000 claim for hangar rash). AOPA and Avemco have always been over-the-top over priced in the market place. Like not even close to other insurers.

outermarker Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I bought through Leading Edge Insurance, www.aviationinsurors.com and have used Rose Marie for several years now. She gave me quotes from Chartis, Starr and Britt/Paulk Insurance. Chartis was higher than the other two, however, I knew more about Chartis and went with them. The difference was a little more than $100 between them. Oh yeah, also, Chartis offers a 5% discount if you are an AOPA member. The savings should equal the cost of the AOPA membership....I had a claim with Starr a half dozen years ago with a Luscombe ( I wasn't the pilot, just the owner) and the claim was paid within a few days.....no questions asked.

N5MD Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I've done some shopping for insurance for my 1966 M20C. Hull valued at $60,000 with liability limits at $1 million per occurrence / $100,000 per passenger. All the quotes have the same limits of liability and hull value. Medical benefits vary a little between each one but most are either $3,000 or $5,000. The quotes below reflect those limits. Avemco $1,696 $300 not in motion / $300 in motion Chartis / Aerospace $1,067 $0 deductibles Global Aerospace $1,078 $50 not in motion / $250 in motion Phoenix Aviation $1,298 $0 not in motion / $200 in motion Starr Aviation $1,067 $0 deductibles US AIG $1,276 $0 deductibles US Specialty Declined to quote – quoted to another broker London Aviation Waiting for quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 N5MD's quotes are in line with what I'm paying with my local broker, at least since I got my Instrument Rating. First year, 62 hours, 0 complex, was bad; 2nd year, 100 Mooney hours, ~170 TT, was $1600; now with IA, it's running about $1300. I'm happy.

TonyPynes Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Just got a quote via AOPA - Chartis, 1592.00 for new pilot(104 total/14complex) with no hours in model hours. 10 hours dual and 10 hours solo requirements - pretty reasonable.

Hank Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 That sounds pretty decent, Austin. It won't hurt to ask a local broker, too. Fellow pilots can always recommend one. I bought my plane half at a time, so it came with an existing policy and now it's only me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I heard that! Been with the local guy four years, and beat Avemco's price this year by 40%. Haven't tried AOPA or Falcon yet . . . But I figure the savings against Avemco will almost pay for my owner-assisted annual this fall. My broker gave me four quotes, three within $40, one a couple hundred higher, then my call to Avemco [never got the hat] at $850 higher.
