Premium Breakdown

If you have elected to combine hull and liability coverage into one policy, the hull portion often accounts for approximately 70% of the overall premium.

Liability often accounts for the the remaining 30% of the total policy premium.

Example: If you have a $1,000,000 aircraft, the insurance company may rate the hull premium at 1%. This would result in a premium of $10,000. And with a $1,000,000 liability limit, it would be common to see the liability premium at $3,500. Total Premium would be $13,500.

The premium charged depends largely upon the experience and ability of the crew members. Aircraft owner/operators may improve their rates based on experience by verifying total hours flown as pilot in command and time in make and model.
