Parker is a good guy, I've known him for years and have used him in the past. But I've been with Wendy a long time now and she does amazing things with underwriters.

Back off on that 1MM liability figure. That's whats driving the rate up. Ask for a hull-only quote, no liability, and see a P&C insurance broker about an umbrella policy. Ask me how I know this works.

Ask what they would charge to remove the exclusion. In the insurance world, everything has a price.

I bought my first P337 in 2015. Wendy was able to get me insured at a good premium with no formal school and only 5 hours transition training. When I bought my current P337, she was able to get no school and no transition training.
She got the guy I sold my first P337 insured in it without even a multi-rating. Obviously he had to get the rating before solo. Wendy knows the underwriters of these companies very well and has simply worked magic for me in the past. YMMV.

I got a "not for any price" from State Farm.

Then find the carrier that does offer you a price. State Farm is far from the only fish in the sea. Often its the smaller companies that will write policies like this. You wouldn't recognize the company that writes mine.

Call or E-Mail Wendy and tell her the situation and ask.

1. Clients who are married to one broker often pay higher premiums. 2. Larger insurance companies are usually more risk-averse. 3. Smaller "boutique" insurers often offer policies where the big guys don't. 4. You can have an aviation insurance broker AND a P&C broker. They are NEVER the same person, or at least they shouldn't be. 5. Insurance companies will often negotiate if you threaten to cancel your policy. They really don't want to send you a check. 6. The financial rating of an insurer is critical for life insurance and investments, but not for liability policies. By law, any claimants have to chase the insurer for payment. The policyholder is off the hook. Just a few nuggets to take or leave as you see fit. Last edited by mshac : 11-09-20 at 09:16 PM. |

I'm not married to the broker per se, but the problem is one of the only underwriters that will write in hawaii reasonably appears to be global. Once they've quoted one broker they won't quote another for the same plane/pilot, so I'm stuck with parker for this year if I continue to pursue the plane. Edit: I'm looking for another umbrella policy and checking on hull only also Last edited by phlgsse : 11-09-20 at 08:41 PM. |

Ask your new broker to give you an AOR (agent of record) letter to give to the underwriters. It basically says "I know I was with one broker, but I really want to switch to another. I'm serious about switching and I pinky swear I'm not going to switch again."
