(Bobby Hester) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:56:16 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV-List: RV-8 Insurance... I've been shopping for a new year of insurance on the RV-8 (current policy is up on 3/20) and got quotes from Avemco, AOPA, and the EAA (Falcon). The quotes from the AOPA and EAA were close, although the AOPA came in $500 cheaper than the EAA's this year. But here was the shocker. Avemco's quote was 2.3 times higher than the AOPA's quote! I called Avemco to make sure that they just hadn't done something wrong. It was right. That's just crazy. Apparently Avemco doesn't really want to write Experimental polices. Anyway, thought I'd share my experiences. - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's RV-8 Construction Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 150+ Hours TTSN - Paint Job Is All That's Left To Do... ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:22:18 PM PST US From: vanremog Subject: Re: RV-List: RV-8 Insurance... Matt- You might also want to call Bev Gassen at Chaparral 800-339-5736. I'm on my second year with Global (after previously being with those slimy pond scum sucking dogs AIG beginning in 1998) and my rate actually went down. -GV (RV-6A Flying 962hrs) In a message dated 03/18/11 18:57:01 Pacific Daylight Time, dralle@matronics.com writes: I've been shopping for a new year of insurance on the RV-8 (current policy is up on 3/20) and got quotes from Avemco, AOPA, and the EAA (Falcon).
