WHAT IS NON-OWNED INSURANCE?

WHY SHOULD I HAVE IT?

N

on-owned insurance is a liability insurance policy to
protect you against claims arising from bodily injury and
property damage for which you are legally liable, caused
by an occurrence arising from your use of a non-owned
(rented or borrowed) aircraft.
Even if the FBO tells you it has coverage, you’ll still need to protect yourself.
Your FBO has coverage for itself. Some
FBO policies have provisions that extend
coverage to students and renters for liability coverage, but that limited protection is
part of the limit that also protects the FBO,
and there may not be enough coverage
limit to cover you adequately. The FBO
policy does not provide you any protec-

tion for physical damage you may cause
to its aircraft. Your own policy provides
coverage for you independent of the FBO
as well as defense costs affording you legal
support that serves your interests.
Ensure you’re covered with a nonowned insurance policy from AOPA
Insurance Services. Call 800-622-AOPA
(2672) or go online (www.aopainsurance.
org/nonowned) for more information.
