Default Flying out of annual

There are no blanket exemptions. There is one sure way. Cut your trip
short and come home the 30th of June (assuming good weather).

The other way is with a ferry permit. The ferry permit works like this:
you call the FSDO for the area that you are flying OUT of and explain the
extenuating circumstances that caused the airplane to go out of annual.
Getting weathered in unexpectedly might work. Getting sick might work.
Scheduling stupidly and knowing it will go out of annual won't work.

over
The FAA will probably ask that a local A&P give you a clean bill of health
before they cut the permit. You pay the A&P. If the FAA is satisfied with
the condition of the aircraft they will issue the permit and fax it to
wherever you tell them to fax it. If that is a fax service you pay the fax
charge. If you've got an extra week you can have them mail it. It will
generally be good for a 24 hour day or two that you specify. If you get
weathered in for those two days, go to over and do it all again. It will
most probably be for single pilot only and in VFR conditions only.

Do you really think it is worth it?

Ok, read the whole thing before the flames!

Pouring through the FAR's, I couldn't find an answer..

Renting an aircraft for a trip at the end of the month, which had an
annual June 06. My return date is July 1.

I'm trying to push the FBO to do the annual before my trip, but
looking at other options too.

Is there some exemption that allows a return to home base/maintenance
station?
