AIRCRAFT RENTAL IN NORTHERN NJ

[Brian Scranton]

Dudes...I am in NJ quite a bit. Wondering if anyone can recommend a good spot to rent a bird. AirFleet at KCDW wants 2 hours of CFI dual on 2 separate days to check out in their 172. Looking for slightly less stringent requirements, if they exist. Ideally, I'd pay one of you guys to exercise your bird! 

Any ideas?

$200 an hour and they skip out on insurance and force you to buy that too seriously?

Put up a flyer or two at the airport you're nearby in NJ. Might catch something good.

The ultimate in dry rental.

I have used 39N for Cezznas... last used for a BFR a few years ago...

They have a complete school with a few birds...

How much are you renting for?

[jetdriven]

There's an F here for 165$....The 200$ is one thing but the forcing insurance on the renters is another.  Every person who rents a plane has to pay 500$ for a policy , instead of the operation properly insuring their plane. If they skimp on insurance coverage what else do they skimp on? I've been there done that.

Hmmm...doesn't sound like a great option!

If renting airplanes was simple, easy, or cost effective, very few of us would own. I travel the world full time for work and would often love to take a plane up for a flight but I realize that renting is just never worth the time, effort, and expense to go fly for a few hours. 

What I have done, is basically go up for a discovery flight. When I wanted to fly in Hawaii, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and a few other places, I'll just go in and ask for a discovery flight with an instructor. I get to do all the flying once the CFI realizes I'm a Mooney owner, rated, current, etc. It works for me...
