I've used Assured Partners for the last Dozen plus years. They are the AOPA-endorsed, cash-related, whatever aircraft insurance company.
I've already cancelled my AOPA membership. Probably time to keep pulling my money away from them.
Who else do you recommend?
1993 Socata Tampico. Four-seat, fixed gear, fixed pitch SEL with a 180HP O-320 in it.

I too have been with AOPA's Assured Partners, but my AOPA membership expires in two day and on my next insurance renewal, I will be getting a quote from Avemco. AFAIK, they are the only insurance company that does not work through broker, so I may also get a quote from some other broker as well. I'll wait to see what kind of replies you get in that regard.

We had Avemco until recently. They were 30% higher than Old Republic thru Assured for like declarations. Avemco’s liability is also per person, not per passenger, so keep in mind how that impacts the payouy if there’s a non-passenger involved.

Assured is a brokerage owned by Gallagher and I’m not sure what their financial relationship is with AOPA other than partner affiliation.
 
I started out with Avemco as they were significantly cheaper when I bought my plane. After a couple years and a few hundred hours, they were no longer competitive so I switched.

I'm honestly not certain who my actual carrier is...I have a broker who I really like and every year she brings me the best couple of quotes and we choose who to go with. I think it's been the same company for a few years. I've kind of found with all my insurance that your broker is the most important relationship; if you have a problem, a good broker will go to bat for you. With Avemco, you're on your own, although I haven't heard anything bad about them, and the folks there were very nice and willing to educate a new pilot.

I deal with Facer insurance; they are local to me, but I think they can sell anywhere. Several other recommended brokers around if you search a little bit, too.

I can, but I'm not sure why I'd use AOPA when there are other options. AOPA is toxic and needs to be isolated and ostracized.

Also, most companies I've found will offer a (small) discount to AOPA OR EAA members. Probably enough to pay for an EAA membership if you aren't already.

I did the same with Avemco but a friend put me onto A.I.R. which is now Acrisure. They found me a policy with Global that has been the best offering for the last few years. The rate is very reasonable for both liability and hull.
 
I went with Sanford & Tatum out of Lubbock. I like having a person I can call if I have an issue or a question.
