AOPA Insurance Services launches to better serve members
The AOPA Insurance Agency is now AOPA Insurance Services! So why the change? For starters, the name simply has not kept pace with all the company can do. Unlike a true insurance agency or direct writer that can only offer you one quote, AOPA Insurance Services is a full-service aviation insurance brokerage that works with more than 14 major A-rated carriers to assist members and nonmembers alike with nearly any type of aviation insurance need.
The group also has undergone a major transformation designed to bring members a variety of expanded coverage options, as well as an enhanced level of service earmarked to become the best in the industry. In addition to traditional light aircraft and nonowned aircraft coverages, AOPA Insurance Services—Aviation Group has the ability to assist with any type of general aviation insurance need from flying clubs to flight schools to airports and more.
Plus, AOPA group programs for Life and AD&D insurance and the popular EA+ emergency and travel protection plan are better than ever with improved coverage. AD&D, for example, still provides aviation coverage, but now also extends 24/7 protection to members at the same low cost.
All of these valuable member benefits are now under one virtual roof! Check out the new look and highly interactive website, designed to make insurance easy to understand and even easier to secure.
These changes have been driven by a core team of leaders within AOPA, led by Janet Bressler, president of the insurance group.
“I’m proud to say that the evolutions and changes we’ve put in place, and will continue to improve upon, are based upon member feedback, which we have carefully cultivated and refined over the past several months,” said Bressler. “The needs of our members have always come first, and now with the enhanced coverages and levels of service we’ve created—we will be able to meet and exceed those needs for many years to come.”
A key part of the expanded coverage options available from AOPA Insurance Services is the addition of several globally ranked A-rated aviation insurance carriers to the company’s network of insurance providers. This ensures each member consistently receives the absolute best combination of coverage and value. It’s a unique advantage AOPA Insurance Services offers over other firms who write aircraft insurance coverage directly—thereby limiting a customer’s options. “Today’s market is driven by choice and value,” said Bressler, “and our objective is to bring the maximum amount of both to our members and customers.”
The launch of the newly improved AOPA Insurance Services is now under way. Emblematic of the transformation is the new website, which will bring customers the ability to evaluate, purchase, and manage their coverages online much more effectively than in the past. Improvements will come in several steps, so please visit the website often to see what is new.
Protecting your passion is AOPA Insurance Services’ passion!
