Have you ever dreamed of taking a private jet, sipping on a cocktail, and watching the clouds and the landscape roll below? You might have thought that it was only possible for CEOs and celebrities, but in actuality, anyone can rent a private jet if they have the budget – and it might not be as expensive as you think!
Ask yourself these questions before renting a private jet.
1. How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Private Jet?
The cost of renting a private jet depends largely on what you plan to do with it. There are three factors to consider: hourly rate, length of flight, and the duration of your trip.
Hourly Rate
The hourly rate of a private jet depends on its size and how new it is. Generally, newer aircraft are more expensive. Additionally, a bigger jet that’s able to accommodate more passengers has a higher hourly rate than a smaller one.
Flight Distance
The longer and farther a plane is flying, the more fuel it consumes, the more use you are getting, and the more it will cost.
Duration of the Trip
The price is also affected by how many days the plane will be with you regardless of how long the actual flight takes. This is because you might only be on the plane for a couple of hours a day for three days, but the aircraft will still be with you instead of going back to its home base for other flights.
2. Where Is Your Private Jet Sourced From?
Private jets are sourced from operators all over the world, which means Vault doesn’t own or operate the jets. Instead, we reach out to our extensive network of operators.
3. Are Private Jets Safe?
When chartering a private jet, you’ll want to check if they carry ARGUS (Aviation Research Group/US) or Wyvern safety ratings. An ARGUS rating means an aircraft operator adheres to international standards. A Wyvern Wingman Certification serves a similar purpose and tells you that you will be flying safely with your pilot. Vault only charters aircraft that carry these ratings.
4. What Credentials Do I Need?
Chartering a private jet will require the same credentials as any other flight. You’ll need identification that has a photograph and a valid passport if you plan to go to an international destination.
5. How Do I Schedule a Flight and Can I Cancel it?
You can schedule a charter through a broker. Consult a Vault Aviation expert adviser, and we’ll reach out to aircraft operators and secure you a plane for its true market price.
If for any reason you need to cancel your charter jet, most aircraft charter providers allow a window in which you can cancel without incurring a fee. Once that has passed, you will likely have to pay for all or some of the canceled trip.
