Freelance CFIs and plane rentals??

Not sure what you mean here. Who pays for the insurance. From what I saw
the rates for private pilot rentals for lessons was very comparable to the
local FBOs. (a little lower actually)

I am not talking about a person who has his own plane and rents it out once
in a while - rather a person with one more who owns them primarily as a
business proposition. So how is the individual owner's insurance more than
the FBO and how is that going to make it more expensive?

If you can't find an FBO to rent the plane for this, you may be able to
find
plane owners who rent planes. It is not uncommon.

You will probably have to beat the bushes a bit more to find them , but
they
are out there.

But very, very expensive. Figure an extra $6000/year in insurance.

You just have the mimimum of 3 planes for new policies otherwise you
end up paying an unworkable amount for your insurance. If you have an
existing policy you can probably continue to renew it.

In order to insure for flight instruction use (other than the owner/named insured)
generally triples the insurance cost. Doesn't make any difference if it only gets
rented once a week or in every two hour block all week long.
