What kind of difference would a low-time pilot see in their insurance rates if they went from a PPL to a Commercial license? What about an instrument rating? Both?
Lets use a Piper Arrow with Liability insurance as one example, and a PA-47 Piper Jet as a second example.
I know there are a million and one variables, but lets just talk generalizations

Re: Commercial License, Instrument rating and Insurance rate
Insurance adjusters normally offer a huge discount to instrument rated pilots. Fixed gear planes are also cheaper, err less expensive than retracts.
As far as PPL v CPL there was zero cost savings for my quotes.
