I have 160K hull @650 hours and paying 2400 just renewed it. The big savings hit me when I crossed over 500 hrs.

That’s very close to what I pay, I’m over 10,000 TT, Commercial / Instrument etc, etc. But I’m based on grass and I’ve been told that severely limits companies that will write a policy. I’m 66.

How does being hangers figure into it?

@A64Pilot If I understand your question correctly, you were asking what impact hangaring the plane makes.  My last conversation with Parker, he indicated in my area, it only amounts to a couple of hundred dollars difference for a 100k hull policy versus being tied down outside. That seems wild to me considering how much damage hail can do, but I'm not an actuary.

Yes I was asking that, I’ve never heard if being hangared reduced rates. It would seem it should as aircraft tied down are subjected to greater loss it would seem , even from other aircraft etc.

I agree. It is very possible my figure is the exception as my home field is very small and rural. I have to believe tying down at a busy city field would see a lot higher chance of getting dinged.

Hangar vs tie down. In the south and midwest one word. Hail.

I would venture that the Thunderstorms without hail are quite damaging too. When we lived in West Tx circa 1981 there was a hail storm so bad that it killed several cows.

‘It looked like the end of the Earth, coming from Ga I had never seen a sky like that.

I am early 60’s. $85k hull. Hangered at class C airport. VFR with 950 total time and 700 in make and model. $2800 now. Awaiting renewal. IFR is 25% reduction in premium I am told. Really sobering costs…

What is 1 GR?

IFR? I tell people the day they get their PVT start instrument training, the insurence break pays for the training and of course makes you much safer and makes the aircraft a whole lot more usable.

Having said that I don’t fly IFR anymore since retirement.

It would probably be more useful to state the hull rate, that is what percentage of the value is the premium.  And a separate number for the liability.  My quotes/policies list the two numbers.

I just renewed, switching to Parker.  Hull is 1.124%.  He was able to get me $1 million smooth (no sub limits), but it costs. :)

About 2000 hour, 900 retract, 160 in make/model, hangar, over 3000 foot paved.

It would probably be more useful for you actually to say the premium. Just saying.

Why? Comparing the premium for an Acclaim tied down to a C in hangar is not going to tell you anything useful.

The premium varies by hull value.

So I say my premium is $4000, how does that compare to yours????  If on a late Acclaim Ultra, that is super.  On a C, that is crazy.

We got several clients that bought their first airplane, an M20J, and the premium is around seven grand a year. These are low time pilots with a fresh complex endorsement, one had an instrument rating and one did not, but it’s a lot of money.

Some insurance companies discount for having a hangar.  Others don't discount and just make their yes/no underwriting decisions based on if the aircraft is not hangared in a hail/weather prone area.

Some companies limit how much they'll pay for cosmetic hail damage to a Mooney...and of those companies, a couple only add that limitation on policies where the aircraft is normally stored outside.

Different question, similar topic.  I've had my J for 2 years now, put on 50-60 or so hours a year, no claims.  My insurance is slightly higher than when I first purchased.  Aside from about 20hrs in an Arrow during training, the J is my only complex.  Is this to be expected, or should I shop for a new broker?
