I have had my Citabria insured through Avemco since I got it (coming up on two years next month). It has been in the $700/yr range. Recently I had to provide my details to an insurance broker so I can ferry the BT-13 to Texas with it's new owner. I'll be providing the dual instruction he needs to ease the transition.
I mentioned the Citabria to the insurance broker because when I quoted the BT last season they offered to do the Citabria and it looked like I would save some money. Apparently it's not considered cool to change insurance companies unless the term is up, so I just filed it away until this recent request.
Last week I got my "hey your insurance policy is about to expire" letter from Avemco along with a new quote for over $1000. Screw that. I've never made an insurance claim of any kind in my entire life. They're about to get a "dear John" letter from me.
My new policy goes into effect the day my Avemco expires, $537/year. The new policy allows pleasure or business "for which no charge is made". I can let anyone fly the plane who has 500 total, 100 tail wheel, 25 in 7ECA. $0 deductible
