Midsize Jet$17,000 – $21,000
Renting a private jet costs between $1,800 and $15,000+ per billable flight hour, depending on the aircraft category, size, and flight distance, while VIP airliners run higher still. Private jets are priced per aircraft, not per passenger, so the total cost is the same whether you fly with one guest or fill every seat.
Your rate includes the aircraft, crew, fuel, and insurance. Total pricing then adds a 7.5% US Federal Excise Tax, per-passenger segment fees, and logistical costs such as repositioning (ferry) legs, crew overnights, ramp fees, and fuel surcharges. Your Fly Jet Reserve advisor confirms a single all-inclusive figure before you book.

One-way all-inclusive estimates for common itineraries. Round-trips, repositioning, and peak dates affect the final figure.
Rates scale with cabin size and range. Newer aircraft (0–5 years) with upgraded avionics, modern Wi-Fi, and better fuel efficiency command a premium within their class.
Calculated wheels-up to wheels-down, including any repositioning (ferry) legs. Most operators apply a daily minimum of 2 hours, so a very short hop may bill at that minimum.
Transcontinental and international routes require larger airframes and incur higher handling, landing, and overflight fees, plus potential crew overnight costs.
A 7.5% US Federal Excise Tax applies to domestic flights, plus a per-passenger segment fee on each leg. International segments add a per-passenger head tax.
Fuel prices are volatile, so operators apply a surcharge — typically 10–15% above the base rate. We pass operator cost through directly, with no markup.
Holidays, major events, and peak travel windows tighten fleet availability and can add 20–30% to last-minute pricing. Booking 30–60 days ahead secures the best rates.
Share your route, dates, and party size and our advisors will return an all-inclusive quote — or set you up with a jet card for fixed hourly rates.
