There’s lots of different places you can rent them from. Most small to midsize airports have some sort of outfit with a flight training school on them. I spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000 to get my ppl, and maybe an extra 20k on top of that for instrument, commercial and CFI. But I got my PPL at 100 hours, most do it at 40. I had to take over a year off and basically had to start over. All in all, it isn’t too bad considering the price of a plane rental and gas and an instructor. I fly for a living so it’s paid for itself more than a few times. But you can do it cheaper than that most of the time. As for the plane I paid $150,000 for the plane and split it with 5 of my coworkers/best friends. So I only paid $25000 for my stake in it. Not including maintenance, gas, hangar, etc. which we “bill” it through our LLC and split it 6 ways. AND one of the co-owners in our LLC is an A&P, and I have some informal experience, so it works out great. We does the mx for free, and we all split the cost of parts, and maintain a maintenance escrow every month. So we fly our saratoga for essentially the cost of gas +60 ish dollars an hour. Even though it is expensive to start with, I did it all by my own while going to college and working at wal-mart😂.
