Is it right for you?
When renting beats buying
Trade show display rentals suit companies that exhibit a few times a year, change sizes, or want to try a show before investing in a booth of their own. The builder supplies the structure, furniture and lighting; you pay for your graphics and the rental for each show.
A good fit when
- You exhibit once or twice a year
- You are testing a new show or a new booth size
- You fly in and want the booth waiting on site
Think twice when
- You exhibit many times a year at the same size
- You need built-in product displays the rental stock cannot take
- You want to own and reuse the structure
What it costs
Where the money goes on a rental booth, line by line
Every quote is built from the same lines. Some are paid once, some at every show. Ask each builder to price every line separately so you can compare like for like. With a rental there is no fabrication or storage to pay for.

|---|---|---|---|
| Rental fee | The builder's structure, furniture and lighting for your show | Every show | $3,500 to $40,000 a show, by size Steadfast Displays |
| Graphics | Printed fabric, panels and signage in your brand | Depends | Quoted |
| Lighting and AV | Lights, screens, video walls, often rented per show | Depends | LED walls and interactive demos: often 20% to 30% of a tech-forward budget Steadfast Displays |
| Flooring and furniture | Carpet or tiles, stools, tables, display cases | Every show | Quoted |
| Shipping and handling | Freight to the venue and the show's material handling charge | Every show | Drayage $1,000 to $10,000+ Classic Exhibits |
| Install and dismantle | Labor to build the booth before opening and take it down after | Every show | $2,000 to $20,000 Classic Exhibits |
| Show services | Electrics, internet, rigging for hanging signs, cleaning, ordered from the show | Every show | Electrical and internet $500 to $5,000 Classic Exhibits |
| Storage | Keeping an owned booth at the builder's warehouse between shows | Depends | $200 to $2,000 a month Classic Exhibits |
What a rental usually includes
What you get when you rent a trade show booth
Rental packages differ by builder. Ask each one which of these are in the price and which are extra.
- 01
Structure
Walls, frames, towers or a hanging sign from the builder's rental stock, set up in your layout.
- 02

Fabric or panels printed with your brand. Many renters keep the graphics for the next show.
- 03
Counters and furniture
Reception counters, stools, tables and storage cabinets, often from the same rental stock.
- 04
Lighting and screens

- 05
Install and dismantle

Rental packages usually include install, dismantle and freight (Steadfast Displays). Booth space and drayage are usually not included (Exhibits Northwest).
Rent or own

Questions
Trade show booth rental questions
How much does it cost to rent a trade show booth?
Renting a trade show booth costs about $3,500 to $6,500 per show for a 10×10, $7,500 to $14,000 for a 10×20 and $16,000 to $40,000 for a 20×20 island, with install, dismantle and freight usually included. A rental typically costs one third to one half of buying the same booth: a $60,000 custom build might rent for $20,000 to $35,000.
Where can I rent a trade show booth in the USA?
From exhibit builders with their own rental stock, most of them based in or near the big show cities. Compare US rental builders on this page by size and city, and send one brief to up to 5.
How to set up a booth for a trade show?
With a rental, the builder's crew or show labor installs the booth before opening and takes it down after, so you arrive to a finished booth. With your own booth, follow the exhibitor manual: order labor, power and drayage from the show's contractor before the deadlines, then install on move-in day.
Is it cheaper to rent or buy a trade show booth?
For one or two shows a year, renting usually costs less: a rental typically costs one third to one half of buying the same booth (Classic Exhibits), with no storage to pay. At three or more shows a year, a custom booth usually pays for itself in about 18 months (Steadfast Displays). Ask builders to quote both.
Can a rental booth look custom?
Yes. Builders dress rental structure in your own printed graphics, and many offer towers, hanging signs and counters, so the booth looks built for you.
What sizes can I rent?
Builders rent everything from 10×10 inline booths to large islands. Pick your size on this page to see rental builders for it.
Do I keep the graphics after a rental?
Often yes. Many builders print graphics you can keep and reuse on the next rental, which lowers the cost of the next show.
