Where to rent in Florida???

Wow, I think rental prices in Florida have notched up somewhat, probably in part to do with increased fuel costs and the lousy exchange rate against the pound. Today, I am in Daytona, Florida but have car so can easily relocate to any other part of Florida, if anybody knows some place with reasonable rental rates. I have been quoted $185 USD an hour for renting a 172 sp and it seems a tad expensive!

If anybody can give me a pointer, I will be grateful.

Give tailswheelsetc a call at Winterhaven. They have some very cheap rates and a varied fleet. They also do not make these fule surcharges that others seem to do and are not a sausage factory. They are also a symbiotic business sharing Instructors and examiners with Jack Brown's Seaplane base next door.

Thanks Keygrip, that is a nice location on the coast - my partner likes the beach!

Do you have a contact number to check availability?

Thanks Tinstaafl, I was trying to avoid the Mickey Mouse area if I could.
Thanks Bose-x I will check them out if I cant get fixed up at Vero Beach.

Voyager Aviation

I spent quite a while at Voyager Aviation on Merrit Island (next to Cape Canavral). Really nice atmosphere with plenty of old flying bums hanging out there to share a coffee with. Dawn used to have a room to rent when i was there too.

All the best!

Its the next experiment after dolly the sheep..........

Also recommend them, Meg and Terry are fantastic people (exPat Brits) who run a great operation. Flown extensively with them over the years in the DA20 and 40.

Smile Sun Aviation is great thanks Keygrip!!

Thanks for the tip, the people down at Sun Aviation at Vero Beach are a very friendly bunch and they have a Warrior 2 and a Warrior 3, both in exceptional condition! Availability is good as well! They also gave a 10% discount because I was spending over a thousand dollars with them!

This is my last search on the web for a C172SP G1000 wet:

120 $ at Aussie Air - Aussie Air - International Flight School - Flight school-Flight training-Pilot Training

Never go to Aussie Air, this company is a Scam, they steal your money and you don't fly!!!
They don't have C172 with G1000
Read these pages:
AUSSIE AIR INC | Pilot Advice
Jet University Sucks | Aussie Air | Flight Schools Information | Florida - AUSSIE-AIR INC STUDENTS
beware!!!!
