Default Glider insurance

Maybe I am in error, and if so I apologize, but I cannot help but think the
good ol' insurance companies may be trying their usual rip-offs. As a renter
I am asked to have $20,000 hull insurance on an FBO G-103 so I can take the
occasional friend up into the aerospace - no problems - seems fair to the
FBO.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but wouldn't the FBO insure the glider and
pass on a portion of the insurance costs to the renter as part of the
time-for-use charge? After all, the FBO should already have insurance
on the ship as a commercial operation.
