I would definitely give AOPA a call because, by RENTING the plane, the
owner has just likely turned into a business. By RENTING the plane, the
owner will now have to comply with the regs that FBO's use, including
100 hr inspections. This can be considered a grey area, but the call to
AOPA is free (so why not?). The (potential) cost of NOT calling AOPA is
very high for all involved.

You can do that, but if the insurance company finds out he's actually
renting the plane from the owner, they probably wouldn't go for it on a
business/pleasure policy.
