New AOPA member discount
The cost of aircraft renters insurance has just been reduced for AOPA members, thanks to the efforts of AOPA and the AOPA Insurance Agency. "AOPA members will now receive a 5-percent discount on new renters insurance policies," says Greg Sterling, the insurance agency's executive vice president and general manager. The new AOPA member discount allows members to carry a nonowned policy for as little as $90.
"As the largest light-aircraft insurance agency in the country, we were able to work with a major A-rated underwriter to offer this exclusive AOPA member discount," said Sterling. The member discount will apply to new and renewing policyholders. Members who renew their non-owned policy can obtain an additional 10-percent discount if they were violation and accident free in the previous policy year.
