Is there a nice resource explaining the aircraft rental process for someone with a private pilot certificate? (For personal use of the plane) Some of the topics / terms are confusing for newbies just estimating costs down the road.
Here are my assumptions so far, am I on track?
"Wet" Rental"
- Fuel price is essentially built into the rental cost
- Fuel stops from other airports would be reimbursed
Cost Per Hour
- The hourly rate is for flight time only
- Daily minimums usually apply (3 hours?)
Hidden Costs
- Fuel surcharges?
- Billed while checking out the plane on a test ride?
Insurance
- The FBO's plane insurance included only pays for damage to the rented plane (not anything else...eg - a 1 million jet you clip on the way by...?)
