If you're not crossing any major milestones, I'd get the updates in now.  If you expect to get an instrument rating or cross 300, 400, 500, 750, or 1000 total time then I would wait.

Same to be said with RG time and MM time.  Crossing 50 RG, 100 RG, 50 MM, 100 MM could make a difference depending on the carrier.

One carrier has 25 different classifications of pilots...in other words, your results will vary between underwriting companies...

Global (current carrier) came back with a 51% increase.

Old Republic (the other carrier that supplied a quote) was a 7% increase over current. 

I've had both of these companies in the past, but tbh I've never actually spoken with anyone at either company, so I have no idea whether one is better than the other. 

I do know that Global doesn't seem to be rewarding loyalty much.. Since it's only a few minutes of extra paperwork to save a lot of money by leaving them.

A 51% increase is F.U. Territory.  Bye.  C Ya.Why?  Because they can.  Thankfully there are other markets that don’t gouge like a M.F.  Glad you landed with Republic at 7%.  THAT is a reasonable increase that can be justified by market conditions.

Hey everybody.  Don’t forget what Global did this year.  Reward the loyalty down the road by other carriers like USAIG and Republic.

The Pox to Global...

Shame.  SHAME.  SHAME!

It’s like that quote I got for 280 hours of labor to install a G3X and GFC500.  They are basically saying we really don’t want to do this, unless you REALLY make it worth our while.

I suspect the people at Global made a strategic decision that they didn’t want to focus on our category of aircraft anymore...

Parker, 

I’m curious what the upper limit is where additional hours don’t matter for TT, MM, RG.

I just renewed the insurance on my Comanche 400. $195K hull, $2M liability. The premium was $4400 plus $350 tax, this is up about 15%

The RV4 is up about 15% as well.

Their metrics have clearly changed recently for Mooneys.  But pilots with lots of make/model and RG time still seem to get the best rate with them about 40-50% of the time for pre-J Mooneys.

Mine just increased ~15% this year, in top of ~25% last year. IFR, pushing 1000 hours and 800+ in Mooneys . . . .  :angry:

No, I refuse to use them.  I went with Magnus in Toronto.  I priced it with Air One in BC with no better luck.

That’s a pretty stiff increase in 2 years.

No claims, no accidents, no incidents, no enforcements, no contact with / from / by the FAA at all . . . . . I'm overjoyed to have the privilege of supporting the aviation insjrance industry, whuch has taken a beating from the airlines the last couple of years.

Just remember, you got a discount because of your wings participation in events like the Summit, It could have been worse. This is wealth redistribution :)

"Redistribution" of personal income to corporations isn't quite what many liberals have in mind . . . .  :huh:

Some auto insurance companies are refunding their customers because claims are down due to COVID, meanwhile airplane insurance companies are handing out increases.  Go figure.

I just renewed and it is the same for a Mooney Bravo. added 250 hrs, over 3,000 total. I guess that's a win if ya'll are seeing big increases?

Out of curiosity, which company came back with a flat quote?

This leads to a good question for @Parker_Woodruff- at what point, if any, do yearly hours start to penalize an owner?  More hours per year is generally good for competence and experience, but it also means increased exposure to an accident (or forgetting the gear.)
