rent a plane

If you’re looking to skip the hassle of commercial airports and upgrade your travel experience, renting a private plane is the way to go. But if it’s your first time exploring private aviation, you might be wondering what to expect. At The Access Group, we simplify the process for every traveler, from seasoned executives to first-time flyers. Here are seven essential things to know before you rent a plane.

1. Renting a Plane Is More Accessible Than You Think

Private aviation isn’t just for celebrities and CEOs anymore. With the right provider, renting a plane can be a surprisingly attainable option for business or leisure travel. Whether you need a quick regional hop or an international flight, there are options to fit a variety of budgets and preferences.

2. Know Your Travel Details in Advance

Before you rent a plane, have a clear idea of your:

  • Destination and departure airport
  • Travel dates and times
  • Number of passengers
  • Special requirements (Wi-Fi, catering, pets, etc.)

Having these details ready will help your charter team match you with the best aircraft for your trip.

3. Choose a Trusted Aviation Partner

Not all charter services are created equal. The Access Group offers 24/7 service, access to a wide range of aircraft, and a commitment to safety and discretion. When renting a plane, choose a partner known for reliability, experience, and personalized service.

4. Different Aircraft Serve Different Needs

The type of plane you rent depends on the length of your trip, the number of passengers, and the amenities you want onboard. From light jets for quick domestic trips to heavy jets for long-range international travel, our team will help you select the right aircraft for comfort and performance.

5. Pricing Can Vary

The cost to rent a plane depends on multiple factors:

  • Aircraft type and size
  • Distance and route
  • Ground handling and airport fees
  • Extra amenities or concierge services

Request a quote in advance and review all inclusions so there are no surprises.

6. You’ll Skip the Airport Chaos

One of the biggest advantages when you rent a plane is avoiding the stress of commercial terminals. You’ll arrive at a private FBO (fixed-base operator), where boarding is quick, security is minimal, and your flight departs on your schedule.

7. It’s a Personalized Experience

From tailored meals and in-flight entertainment to pet accommodations and luxury ground transportation, renting a plane is all about customizing your journey. At The Access Group, we design every trip around your comfort and convenience.
