*Casual pilot, Piper Warrior or C172 type: Estimated $50-$100 annual lower premium with Instrument Rating; Casual pilot Complex/TAA C182 or Piper Arrow type: Often insurance companies will decline to quote coverages for Private Pilots in high performance/complex airplanes unless they have an instrument rating. For example, most companies will not quote coverages for a Bonanza for a 250-300 hour Private Pilot until he/she has their instrument rating. However, one can expect annual premium to be $100-150 more expensive without an instrument rating for typical complex aircraft like the Piper Arrow. The amount of premium saved is not the issue, but instead the availability of insurance coverage.
