In the UK, 2 to 3 hours per day is the usual minimum rental charge.
Yes, it's true, they do things differently here! But I still thought it useful to have some idea of how it works in other places. I think the flying schools that I will be hiring from, hammer their a/c very hard, which hopefully means they will be well maintained if superficially tired. But it also means that they are in almost constant use so I imagine they will be hesitant to have them tied-up but not earning.
