Time spent out if the hangar? Shhhh.... you might give someone ideas.

Clubs usually set a rate based on block time - the time between the aircraft starts to taxy at the start of the flight, to the time it stops afterwards - this is also the amount of time you can record in your personal log.

Syndicates - at least the two I'm involved with, tend to set a rate based on airborne time.

It all depends on the club policy, but usually if you want to take an aircraft away for, say, a weekend then there is a requirement that a minimum number of hours be flown (or, at least, paid for).
