Be careful what you buy. Some generic renter's policies do not cover
"experimental" aircraft. That means you may be covered for that 1-34
or 1-26 or Grob 103. But not for the LS4 or Janus C.
Costello's policies may be written to include experimental gliders. I
do not know.

AOPA:
"This Insurance applies during your personal and non-commercial use of
non-owned fixed wing, non-pressurized, land aircraft having a non-
turbine single engine of 450 horsepower or less (including non-powered
sailplanes) and capacity for no more than seven ( 7 ) total passengers
and/or seats ( 1 pilot and 6 other passengers), and a 'Standard,
Experimental, Restricted or Light Sport' Aircraft Certificate, and not
furnished to you for more than thirty ( 30 ) consecutive days. Multi-
engine & Rotorwing aircraft are not included in this coverage."

My Policy has this requirement: A Standard Airworthyness Certificate.
I do not think that "Experimental" is "Standard".. but I could be
wrong... but it does specify that I am covered for SEL, MEL, LSA and
Gliders.

"Non-owned aircraft" means an aircraft you rent or borrow. Its use
must be with the owner's permission. It cannot be owned in whole or in
part by, or furnished for more than 30 consecutive days to:
a. you or your spouse;
b. parents, children, brothers or sisters of you or your spouse;
c. a corporation, partnership or other organization in which any
combination of people shown in a. and b. above own more than 20%.
It must have all of the following:
a. fixed wings;
b. a standard airworthiness certificate;
c. United States or Canadian registry.
