Non-Owned (Renters) Insurance - Why it is Good For The Flight School
We insure a number of flights schools...and we have some flight schools that require their students to carry non-owned coverage and we have some flight schools that don't even like to bring up the subject. What makes sense for the flight school?
First of all, I think it is important to be clear with your renters regarding what coverage they may or may not have on your policy. This can be done via the rental agreement.
If I were running a flight school I would require renter pilots to carry both non-owned hull and non-owned liability coverage. Here are a few reasons why.
1. Non-owned coverage is good for the renter. It provides the renter with their own liability limit and the coverage follows the renter, regardless of where they are renting or whose aircraft they are borrowing.
2. Assuming the renter carries both non-owned hull and liability coverage, you may be able to recover your deductible, as well as loss of use and loss of value of the aircraft
3. Your primary insurance carrier may be able to recover damages paid under your insurance policy, thus reducing your overall claim expenses paid. That will make your claim experience look better.
I look at renter pilots carrying non-owned coverage as a win-win scenario. Good for the renter and good for the flight school. We have partnered with FSANA and Starr Aviation to make the non-owned buying process easier than ever. Visit our website at www.regalaviation.com and click on the link "Purchase Non-Owned/Renters Insurance" to obtain more detail. We would be happy to provide you with a link to purchase the non-owned coverage so you could place it on your website.
