How Much Is it to Rent a Private Jet?
How much does a private jet cost? Private jet charter costs can vary depending on different factors. But in general, the smaller the aircraft, the more affordable the hourly rate and total private jet price for chartering will be.
A turboprop charter starts at around $2,000 an hour, while a heavy jet charter costs closer to $10,000 an hour.
With a private jet charter service, you can fly on a luxurious private jet without breaking the bank. Private jet charter rates are significantly lower than buying your own private plane. Unless you fly roughly 150 hours or more a year, buying your own private jet just doesn’t make sense.
According to Bankrate, with private jet charter rates, you don’t have to pay maintenance fees, crew salaries, insurance, or interest.

I would definitely recommend Stratos. I had a very involved trip that need the coordination of medical professionals, the local fire department and Stratos. The trip couldn't have gone more smoothly. Daniel did an incredible job.

Once again, Stratos Jets provided perfect travel service with competitive prices! We needed to move a family member with memory loss and agitation from Boston to Houston on very short notice. Joel set everything up within 24 hours- a beautiful private jet, cars and drivers at both ends of the trip, a security detail plus catering. I am completely impressed with this company and will use them whenever I need private jet service. Thank you, Joel!

As always, you guys set a great example for what working with a broker should be like. :)
Tom C.
This flight including the initial contact with Stratos, the booking, the flight prelims, the flight itself including the crew, and off-loading after our on-time arrival was as close to perfect as it's possible to get. Stratos did a great job of finding the appropriate flight and handling the payment and booking as well as keeping us informed of pertinent details as flight time arrived. In summary, great flight and a great job by Stratos!
Colleen R.
All was excellent & stress free
Andrew S.

Everything went as smoothly as it possibility could have. Special kudos to Randy who was perfect in his communication skills. Good equipment, good pilots ...great trip thanks
Laura C.
We did have a slight issue when the plane came in there was a mechanical concern that delayed my parent's trip but Kyle lined up aother plane for us so they could get to their destination with the least amount of inconvenience. The catering was delicious and the flight back went off without a hitch.
Marc G.
Never left a review in our life but for the amount of money spent - really left a sour taste in our mouth. Complete lack of organization with plane in wrong FBO for departure, $1,000 rental car at wrong airport on arrival, just not nearly the level of service expected when spending over $10K for an hour and half hop -
Claus K.
Hi Steve and Joel and Sandy,
Wanted to say thank you for the quick refund. It’s nice to work with you. Very professional.
Bye and best regards to the U.S.,

Flight was for an elderly person and the tail number was provided a long time before the flight and I made sure the person flying had all the info written down by someone who could hear and got everything correct. Flyer had that until day before when tail number changed. I had to find someone who could hear me well and right down the correct info for the person traveling so he got it straight in his head and for driver.
Cathy W.
No improvements needed.
Scott M.

Susan R. C.
Especially impressed that you were able to find us a rental car when there were none available in the entire area. You guys are wizards. The flight was comfortable and the pilots competent and professional. Thank you for helping us make this trip happen.
Todd C.
All aspects of our interaction with Stratos was perfect. My wife and I will definitely use their services in the future.
Amy P.
Anthony is the best. It's always hectic trying to get the details right and he stays on top of it so I don't have to!
Valerie W.
Kyle immediately answered the phone when I called, after normal work hours, needing a plane the next morning. He worked with me for hours to find the right plane. I flew out the next morning at 9am. Kyle followed along with both that flight as well as the return the next day to make sure everything was fine. I feel comfortable knowing that Stratos carefully chooses their planes with the highest safety ratings. Thank you to Kyle and his team for their attention to detail and care that their customers have an excellent and safe travel experience. I highly recommend Stratos Jet Charters
Cody H.
Anthony and his team are always on top of it. Especially with my demanding aircraft requirements, booking process, timeframes, and discretion needed.
Nina P.
Daniel is a treat to work with, very efficient and thorough. All the folks at Stratos were helpful and our trip went very well. I would definitely recommend Stratos to others.
Richard T.
The crew was very pleasant, and the plane was nicely reappointed.
Sybil D.
Glenn, who assisted every step of the way was professional and kind as he answered the many questions I had as this was our first experience traveling in this way. The communication was clear and any expectations we had were exceeded. The pilot was very personable and made the experience enjoyable from the time we arrived at the FBO until we landed. Thank you.
Sam Weisenburger

From start to finish, our experience with Stratos was totally professional, made very simple and the ultimate in how charter travel should be booked/enjoyed! We know it takes an entire team behind the scenes but all credit to Joel for his 'personal' touch and for making our return trip to New York a very memorable one indeed!!! We have used several charter companies worldwide over the years but Joel and his team beat them all!!!
Chuck A.
It was a perfect flight!
ERIC SANCHEZ
Smooth across the board as always. Thanks for the trip.

Good morning, Joel. I have been in the customer service business for 30 years as a realtor and previously customer service manager for a performing arts hall. I am very critical when it comes to customer service as so many companies who pride themselves being excellent fall short. I feel when it excels, it should be pointed out to their superior.
Falling short is certainly not the case with Kyle Jones and Leslie Jackson. This is my first experience with chartering a private plane. My 94 year old father and 92 year old mother are going to their favorite place in the world, the Beau Rivage hotel in Biloxi MS at Christmas time. A charter flight works so much better than the hassle of traveling commercial today.
Kyle was on top of everything for me and when I would send him a question via email the response was rapid fire. The same goes for Leslie. I don’t think it was more than 5 minutes before a response came back. Their friendliness, professionalism and knowledge is above par and you are extremely lucky to have them on the Stratos team.
My father insists he will be going again next year and I hope he is correct. I will contact Stratos for their traveling needs and hopefully work with both the wonderful Kyle and Leslie again.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and a happy New Year.
Laura

Kyle from Stratos Jet was great to deal with... quick responses....great service....great prices....A+ experience
Shari G.
As the assistant who actually booked the trip and made the plans for my employer and her family, I must say that the experience was a new one for me. That said, the unfamiliar process was made much simpler thanks to the knowledge, expertise and patience of my rep, Christina Nesbit. She was extremely informative and helped thru each step of the process, reassuring me that the passengers were getting the most appropriate plane for their needs. I will double check to be sure there isn't any additional feedback I am missing, but to date I was told that the flight was a pleasurable one and they were appreciative and impressed that the President came to greet them pre flight as well. Thank you, Shari
Guy L.
Will recommend it to friends
