Should I purchase aircraft renters insurance as a student pilot or wait until I get my private pilot certificate? What does aircraft renters insurance actually cover?
(top) While your flight instructor is the person responsible for your training aircraft when you fly together, you are responsible for it while flying solo. It is wise to purchase renter’s insurance prior to your first solo. While nobody plans on an accident, it is best to be covered from the beginning. Even seemingly minor incidents, such as a propeller strike or lightly bumping another aircraft while taxiing, can be very costly to repair. Renter’s insurance covers damage you do to an aircraft you do not own.
