Renter's insurance when flying in the USA
I am planning to make a US flying trip in December for 3 weeks, where I'll be a renting a C172 and hour building during that time.
Can anyone recommend renter's insurance which will cover any damage to the aircraft that the FBO / rental facility is not going to cover for me?
I have looked into AOPA but it seems they don't allow foreign addresses / phone numbers

AVEMCO and AOPAIA did not provide for non-US renters 10 years ago.
Twice in the last 10 years I bought insurance from AIG Aviation through

Aviation Insurance Resources
website: pprune does not allow me to poist.
Tel 407-770-0240

Included $ 1 million third party insurance and aircraft damage insurance with $1000 deductible.
Cost was about $220 for 12 months, 45% refundable for shorter.

I've had a standard written agreement with an FBO where the sum I had to pay was about the same as I'd have to pay if I damage my Group Jodel in the UK.
I've enquired about renters insurance at insurance company stands, and been told they wouldn't cover non-residents.
Giving a US address which is not your residence would likely get invalid insurance.

Renters insurance is by and large right up there with rental car addon insurances. Often sold by the FBO itself, presumably on a kickback. Go to somewhere reputable that already provides reasonable cover and you won't need it. A search on here will provide further in-depth info.

Thanks for the suggestions all
I'll be flying with chandler air services who seem very reputable in this community, but sadly they only include basic cover and not pilot liability cover
