Aircraft Renters Insurance protects pilots when flying aircraft they have rented or borrowed.
Renters Insurance covers the out-of-pocket costs of an aircraft accident, such as deductible, excess liability (property damage / bodily injury), and defense costs. Coverage can be purchased by any individual, aged 14 or older, who wants to rent or use an aircraft that is not owned or registered in whole or in part by you, your spouse, parent, child, sibling, or corporation.
Renters Insurance is a great option for Flying Club Members, Flight School Students, and Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs).
