If you fly a Cirrus SR22, you’re used to performance.
You like speed. Efficiency. Precision.
So why should quoting your insurance policy be any different?
At BWI, we’ve helped thousands of SR22 pilots get policies turned around in 24 hours or less, and we’ve also seen pilots get stuck in back-and-forth cycles with other brokers for weeks.
The difference usually comes down to preparation, broker experience, and knowing what underwriters need.
Here’s how to get your SR22 insurance quote faster, without cutting corners on coverage.
Step 1: Know What Underwriters Are Looking For
When quoting a Cirrus SR22 or SR22T, most underwriters want:
- Total flight hours (lifetime + last 12 months)
- Time in make/model (SR22, SR22T, SR20 counts!)
- Any transition or factory-endorsed training (CSIP, Embark, Sim)
- Use case (personal, business, instruction)
- Claims history
- Aircraft details (hull value, base location, hangared or tied down)
If you can provide all of this in one go, your quote can be submitted to multiple underwriters immediately.
Step 2: Submit Your Info Like a Pro
When we get incomplete submissions, the whole process slows down. Here’s what to send upfront:
- Pilot certificates (Private, Instrument, Commercial, etc.)
- Total time + make/model time (even SR20 time!)
- Recurrent training logbook entries or training certificates
- Base airport, tie-down status, and intended use
- Aircraft details: year, hull value, avionics panel if customized
Think of this like an airline job application; you want to present your best, most complete version right from the start.
Step 3: Choose a Broker Who Can Move Quickly
Not every aviation broker is built for Cirrus aircraft.
Some work with only one or two underwriters. Others submit quotes manually or one at a time.
At BWI, we:
- Use our own custom quoting platform, iFlyQuote
- Work with every A+ rated Cirrus-friendly underwriter
- Know which underwriters move quickly based on your profile
- Assign real aviation experts, not a call center, to your quote
That’s how we regularly turn around full Cirrus SR22 quotes in under 24 hours.
Bonus Tip: Avoid These Time Wasters
- Submitting make/model hours incorrectly (ex: forgetting to count SR20 time)
- Not sending proof of CSIP/Embark training
- Waiting until the last minute to request a quote
- Shopping multiple brokers (delays underwriters)
We’ve seen quotes delayed or declined because two brokers submitted for the same pilot, or because a pilot didn’t report training properly.
Keep it clean, clear, and fast by working with one Cirrus-focused broker from start to finish.
What to Expect from BWI
When you request a quote with us, we’ll:
- Review your details within hours
- Ask for anything that’s missing
- Submit to multiple underwriters (we know who fits your profile)
- Walk you through the quote side-by-side, not just email you a number
No fluff. No delay. Just Cirrus insurance built for performance.
