I'm not quite sure about insurance companies, but I know that some companies' AOCs haven't been updated to reflect the change from CAA requirements (700h TT) to JAA requirements (400h TT).

CAA requirements for AOC holders are, I believe:

700 TT
400 PIC
100 ME
40 IFR ME

+ current IR
+ valid recurrent checks

THAT is why most air taxi companies won't be interested if you've got less than 700h. Ravenair is one of the only companies I believe who have the ability to employ a Commander on a Public Transport flight with <700h TT.
