About Us

Since 1989, ZANETTE Aviation Insurance has provided personalized service to a wide range of clients across the United States.

Zanette Aviation Insurance, located in San Mateo, CA, is a family-owned agency specializing in aviation policies. We’re industry specialists with over 30 years of experience, and decades-long relationships with clients and the broader industry.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide our private and commercial clients with the highest level of aviation insurance brokerage services. Building on our close personal relationships with our underwriters, we work with all of the A. M. Best Company top rated insurance companies (rated A or A+ and better) in order to provide our clients with the best coverages available, at the best price, while providing excellent customer service.

We Give You Options

We provide each client seeking insurance with the widest array of choices, and we take the time to explain the differences between them. Each year, we shop each client’s coverage with all of the major markets that insure your make and model aircraft, or offer the coverages you need. It takes more time to do this, but it also yields a better result. Before binding coverage, we call you with all of the quotes, explain the differences between the different policies and the companies that issue them, and make our recommendation. The decision is yours. Based on years of experience, we can tell you which companies will cover your transition into a twin, turbine, or personal jet, which will offer high limits of liability, which offer the best claims service, and suggest ways to increase your coverage with a small increase in cost.

Customer First

At ZANETTE Aviation Insurance Services, our clients come first. Many of our competitors, and most of the insurance industry, stress sales income over service. We prefer to focus on our customers. And our “customer first” approach works: Many of our clients have been with us for over a decade, and most of our new clients are referred to us by others.

Just the Right Size

The size of our company and the straightforward way that we have always done business has earned us the respect of the insurance companies. But we are still small enough that every client matters. Small enough that you will always speak to the same broker, large enough that if your broker is out, there will always be knowledgeable people to help you.
