Mooney insurance

[Jpravi8tor]

I’m in need of affordable insurance who has the line on affordable Mooney insurance?

[gwav8or]

I got quotes a few months back and the best I could get was $3,400/year. No IFR, No retract time.

Hardy Aviation Insurance. I’ve used them for years and have always been pleased.

@Parker_Woodruff is our local insurance guy. I've been using him for 4 or 5 years now, I think.

Affordable is a relative term. Our insurance has doubled in the last five years with no claims. It’s still affordable but I wish it were less.

Another happy customer with @Parker_Woodruff’s Airspeed Insurance. Great personalized service.

Try Avemco.  I received a great rate and great service.  Also contact Parker Woodruff per above.  He helped provide great guidance for me.

A lot of people were paying a lot less 4 years ago. Your Cardinal insurance would be more expensive now as well.

Aviation insurance Resources (AIR) gave me the best rate when we bought our E. We dealt with Tracy martin there

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s only really 2 possible “rates”… Avemco does their own thing and you have to call them, or any insurance broker gets you a quote from the remaining 2(?) aviation insurers?  So i use Airspeed because Parker has excellent service, but the “rate” he gets me should be exactly the same as AOPA, Hardy, or Joe’s Dirt Cheap Insurance (i made that one up).  So you got Avemco or the brokers, 2 rates, no?

How much time did you have flying when you got that quote if you don't mind?

In theory yes. But in practice, Parker goes to bat for his customers and may on occasion do better than some of the others.

I had about 600 hours, no Mooney time to speak of (1.5 hours) and no IFR. From what I’ve seen, the rates won’t come down until you have 100hrs in retract/Mooney. What I’ve seen reported is the rate would come down to 1600 - 1800 once 100hrs Mooney time has been achieved.

I believe this is correct.

For new business on a personal aircraft policy, this is basically correct.  The carriers quote new business at the same pricing.  Every now and then we'll win out on new business because a competing quote just gave the instantly-available quotes over the phone rather than waiting to make sure all the responses came back.

We have a pretty good idea which companies will be most competitive for certain aircraft & pilot combinations so we know if there might be a straggler quote that can win.

Regarding renewals, some carriers will work with us on premium if their renewal quote is too high compared to the rest of the market.

Commercial & corporate accounts, on the other hand, take a lot more negotiating and sometimes even aviation expertise.  Our flight school, charter, and repair station accounts really rely on good brokering.  Especially in this market...
