Aircraft renters: Don't fly unprotected

Now that spring is here, more and more pilots will be taking to the skies. The cost of aircraft renters insurance is affordable for AOPA members, thanks to the efforts of AOPA and the AOPA Insurance Agency. AOPA members will receive a 5-percent discount on new renters insurance policies — members can obtain a policy for as little as $91.

"Because four of out five pilots rent an aircraft, providing affordable insurance products for the renter pilot is a goal of the AOPA Insurance Agency. We offer a 5-percent AOPA member discount. As the largest light aircraft insurance agency in the country representing more than 409,000 member pilots, we worked with a major A-rated underwriter to offer our members more affordable premiums," says AOPA Insurance Agency Executive Vice President and General Manager Greg Sterling. "The 5-percent discount applies to both new and renewing policies. Members renewing their AOPA Insurance Agency renters policy can take advantage of an additional 10-percent discount if they were claim and accident free during the previous policy year."

Visit the AOPA Insurance Agency online to apply and purchase your renter's insurance policy today. Or call 800/622-2672 for more information.
