I want to be able to call someone up while on my way to the airport and have it fueled up and ready to taxi by the time I get there, is this possible with a jet card?
That is where owning works out better. I've called while driving to the airport. Filing the flight plan is 15 minutes as long as it's national (1 hour for international) and they can fuel up the plane in 30 minutes as long as the fuel truck is available. There's normally fuel from the last flight still in the tanks. Picking the right hanger is important, if it's too full it can take an hour just to get your plane out.
With the NetJets jetcard I think they say 4 hours is the fastest but in reality you want to schedule a flight a day in advance. With a chartered flight it really depends on what's available.
