I pay about 1K a year for private use insurance. Any time you use a plane for commercial use, it goes up between 3 and 5 times. Yeah, the FBO's fleet policy will probably be way more than what you would pay yourself for private use. 100 hours can be as little as $500 or as much as an annual. Some FBO's will gouge you on 100 hours to keep their maintenance dept busy. At any rate, I would expect you to have to pay more for maintenance because you won't (most likely) be able to "shop around" or do some of the work yourself. If they will let you pull the plates and change the oil, I'd say they aren't the "gouging" kind of place.
