Overview
St. Pete Air publishes aircraft rental information for Albert Whitted Airport (KSPG) in St. Petersburg, Florida.

It says all listed rates are wet and links an aircraft checkout form.
This directory entry summarizes the operator's published fleet and rates. Aircraft types, tail numbers, prices, and access terms can change. A fleet page is not a reservation calendar and does not confirm that an aircraft is available on a particular date.
Aircraft and published rates
The rental page lists several Cessna 172s at a standard rate of $215 per hour and a club rate of $189.20 per hour. It also lists higher performance and complex aircraft at different prices. The page states that rates are wet, meaning fuel is included under the operator's terms. The Cessna rates shown here were checked on October 4, 2026; reconfirm them with St. Pete Air before budgeting.
The operator page reports a broader fleet that includes a Cessna 182, Piper Archer, Piper Arrow, and Piper Warrior, as well as the Diamond DA40 G1000. Published prices differ by aircraft. Do not apply the Cessna 172 price to another aircraft. The checkout page links each aircraft to more specific details and rate information.
Checkout and renter terms
St. Pete Air asks renters to complete an aircraft checkout form before arrival. Its rental page states that complex and high-performance aircraft require a minimum two-hour Hobbs checkout. Confirm what checkout applies to the aircraft you want, whether the checkout is charged at a dual or aircraft rate, and whether additional experience requirements apply.
The operator also publishes a rental agreement. Review the current agreement with the provider before reserving. Ask about insurance, deductibles, currency requirements, reservation and cancellation policies, and any restrictions on extended rentals or flights away from the home airport. This directory does not treat a form or webpage as confirmation that an individual pilot meets the operator's requirements.
What to verify before renting
Ask for the current rate and confirm its billing basis, wet fuel terms, club eligibility, and any membership fee. Check whether the price on the aircraft page matches the current rate sheet. Confirm the aircraft tail number, equipment, and checkout status when making a reservation. Ask what happens if maintenance or schedule changes make the reserved aircraft unavailable.
If you are comparing club and standard rates, ask what makes a renter eligible for the club price and whether there are associated dues or joining costs. Keep these separate from the hourly aircraft charge so a comparison reflects the full rental cost.
