1st Time Renters Insurance - Help

Hello All,

I'm heading to Florida in 2 weeks for a quick trip to secure my Part 61.75 licence, once the checkout is done i'm planning to solo rent thus needing Renters Insurance. The place i'm using say i just need the $89 insurance from AOPA, the problem is I don't think this will cover my A**E to be fair.

AOPA have two things to cover

1: Limit of Liability (Bodily Injury & Property Damage)
$250,000 / $25,000
Premium: $83.00

plus an additional

2: Limit of Liability (Physical Damage to Non Owned Aircraft)
£5,000 / $10,000 up to $200,000
Premium: From $99
(I assume this bit is if I bend their plane, i can just walk away from it with no issues)

Now not a problem as If no issue then I can claim for 50% of the premium back. problem is I really want to make sure i cover ones personal bits.

This will be my first time renting in the USA and taking Renters Insurance.

I'm renting a C172 G1000 if it makes any difference

Advice would be good please.

Thanks
