Default Pilot Insurance Discounts!

I'm in the process of buying a home so I received a quote from Farmers. When you combine auto and homeowners insurance, they offer great rates. I couldn't believe it because I always assumed Farmers was pretty expensive insurance. Turns out, part of the reason my quoted rates are so good is due to a significant discount for "Professional Aviators". Something to check out anyway.

Go ahead and ask your life insurance company if they give discounts to pilots. :P

While you're at it, tell them you smoke and regularly go cliff-diving.

Also, remember find out what discounts you can get THROUGH your insurance company:

For instance, I have USAA and with them I get 35% off FedEx; 20% off with Hertz, Budget and Avis, unlimited miles and no charge liability protection; 20% off flowers; If I take a cruise USAA will match the lowest price and then some (although how many cruises am I going to take?), tons of discounts off jewelery; etc. Plus they offer banking services like fee reinbursement for any ATM you use, great rates on CD's loans etc.

I got "the" diamond for about 30% less thru USAA. I didn't know about FedEx, I wonder if they could combine my 75% airline discount with USAA's 35% discount??? My car/renters/VPP insurance is REDICULOUSLY cheaper thru USAA though. Great insurance rates.

I don't use USAA to bank though because you have to mail your checks in. The ATM thing is nice but mailing in checks = PITA (IMO). The 'rents use USAA exclusively though, save for some retirement which is done thru Fidelity.

Most, if not all, insurance companies will give you discounts if you "bulk" your policies with them. Funny - I actually just dumped Farmer's for Allstate on my car and house because the total ended up being about 40% cheaper for the same coverages.

Then again, insurance is weird in Texas.
