I'd never even heard about them before because the agent only quotes the most reasonably priced insurers. This year with AIG up, they were about to quote Global and Starr, but had a note that they didn't include the Starr quote because it was "a lot higher". When you have compared quotes, have you always had them compare Global and AIG with Starr?

But Starr came in below both of them, one interesting thing was that the liability coverage for all of the other quotes was nearly the same, it was the hull coverage that seemed to vary the most, but with Starr, the liability was higher but the hull was significantly lower. One thing to ask is whether your agent has an active agency agreement with the markets you want to quote. Most agents maintain arrangements with multiple companies/carriers but they prefer to send the bulk of their business through a much narrower segment. Insurance companies compete vigorously for independent agents business, buy structuring their comission/fees based on volume incentives.

FWIW, I'd never heard of Starr either, but when I purchased insurance for my Grumman Yankee last August, they came in at the lowest price through my agent with equivalent coverage/deductable/etc. -Dj -- Dj Merrill - N1JOV Glastar Sportsman 2+2 Builder #7118 N421DJ - http://deej.net/sportsman/ Grumman Yankee Driver N9870L - http://deej.net/yankee/ ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 05:05:30 PM PST US From: Deems Davis Subject: RV10-List: The joy's of being a Grandpa and having an RV10 When I started out to build my plane, it was all about me, and pursuing a lifelong dream.
