Rent vs. Own

We now offer net payment terms and 3rd-party financing options on purchases over $5,000!

One of the choices each exhibitor must make is whether to rent or own their exhibit. Each has advantages and the choice should be based on your company's budget, needs, policies, etc. We offer options for each.

Renting eliminates your need to ship and store your exhibit hardware, and works best when you're somewhat flexible on the design. Renting is also a good choice when you've got overlapping show schedules or need a larger exhibit for a single show. Renting your exhibit is considered among the most eco-friendly options for tradeshows due to reduced interstate shipping, etc. Also, insurance, storage, maintenance and refurbishing costs are factored into the rental investment.

Owning is ideal to maintain control over your exhibit from design to show and in between. The lifespan of a typical exhibit, when properly cared for, is about 40-50 shows. Frequent exhibitors will benefit from the lower overall investment and the ability to develop a more integrated marketing design. Occasional exhibitors may like that smaller exhibits can be setup by their show representative, thus reducing or eliminating show-site labor costs. Of course, insurance, storage, maintenance and refurbishing costs are normal expenses to consider as well.

To help newer and smaller exhibitors determine their budget, and whether they should rent or own, the following spreadsheet provides a good reference based on exhibit industry research. We hope you'll find it useful.

Exhibitors Choice also offers rent-to-own and capital equipment leasing options to make owning your exhibit more affordable.

Our rent-to-own option is available based on the new exhibit selected, and allows you to apply 100% (minus setup labor) of the initial rental fee toward your exhibit investment. The purchase option expires at the close of the rental. You may also convert your rental/purchase to a capital equipment lease at that time. It's a great way to try before you buy.

Capital equipment leasing is a great choice for exhibitors wanting to control their cash flow and reap the additional benefits leasing can provide. Of course, you should first consult your legal and tax advisors before making this choice. The payment calculator below will give you an estimate of what lease payments might be for your new exhibit. The minimum lease amount is $5000.
