As a renter of the local FBO 172, should I obtain personal renter insurance?
Yes. Your airport may not require insurance (mine does) but always
remember that the airport or FBO is insuring itself and doesn't care a
hoot about you.
It might come after you for the deductible (probably not a big
matter). Someone you injure might decide to sue you, as well as the
airport. Etc.
I pay a bit less than $600 a year for a million-dollar liability
policy, $25,000 hull insurance. You can ask the FBO for leads.
AOPA has an insurance broker. I buy mine from a private insurance
agency that represents AIG.
