Avemco's Secret Weapon

March 2010
Let me go out on a limb here and make a wild assumption: You spend as little time as possible thinking about aviation insurance. Sure, it's something you think about momentarily when you renew your policy. But essentially insurance is like the bellybutton of the aviation world – you know it's there but don't ever expect it to come in handy.

Yet for a large number of pilots, it does come in handy. And how handy that insurance is depends on how much thought you put into it to begin with. Which brings me to my own little "bellybutton." Avemco®.

Here at Avemco, we know talking insurance isn't as sexy as talking about shooting landings on a crisp summer morning (but what is?). So we work to make the process as clear, informative, and enjoyable as possible. Where some insurance companies seem to take delight in burying you waist high in jargon, we try to help you navigate your way through the complexities of aviation insurance. That's where our secret weapon comes in: The Aviation Underwriters.

While all other aviation insurance companies work through agents or brokers, only Avemco has underwriters that talk directly to you. That means you talk to a decision maker who can immediately evaluate your specific needs and provide the best insurance coverage and premium possible. Plus our people are trained in loss prevention based on actual mishap and claims data, so you get expert advice on aircraft insurance and risk management.

If you want to work with the same underwriter every time you call, you got it. Want to speak to whatever underwriter's available at that moment? You can have that, too. Want to break up the "boring" insurance chitchat by talking about shooting landings on a crisp summer morning? We're all ears.

Give us a call.
