Ray, I remember talking to you before about your insurance and I always thought it was surprisingly cheap for an amphib. I assume it is because of your experience and safety record. Also, of course, it depends on your declared value. So now it sounds like you are just getting a little closer to what the rest of us are paying. (I think Bob P was thinking of a wheels Rebel.)
In my case, I just renewed mine (Rebel amphib) for July 1, and it went up to 1100, which is an increase of $64 over last year. But that is only for 3 months. I actually expected mine to go down with all the hours since last year, but I guess that was just wishful thinking. For the year, it would be over 4000. This is in Canuck dollars, of course. My risk management theory here is that for 9 months of the year, I fly close to home, and my greatest risk is in the summer months when I am away touring and exploring new territory. I should mention, though, that the insurance companies only want you to add coverage, not give refunds, so you need to plan your expiry date accordingly (mine is Oct 1).

Hi Ray !
Exactly what are you covering ?? This sounds high for a Rebel ..
We've ALWAYS got better coverage at a better price from Bill Cameron,
at Rhodes & Williams - (905) 457-5238. He covers most of the
Rebels in
Ontario....
One interesting thing about the aircraft insurance business in
Canada :
IF a company has quoted for your aircraft through one broker, it
will NOT
quote again on the same aircraft through ANOTHER broker - so you
shouldchoose your broker carefully ! (There's not a big choice
of companies in
Canada - last I heard, only TWO companies were writing aviation
coverage !)
Let us know how you make out !

I just got my new insurance quote from Marsh and it is a 1000

same thing?
My quote is now 3850.00 per year. I see that marsh is now using

elsewhere?>
