Trade show booth rental in the USA
Exhibiting in the US for the first time? Renting an exhibition stand in the USA is often the simplest way to start. Nothing crosses the Atlantic, you don't pay for storage between shows, and you know the cost of the stand before you commit.
Why European exhibitors rent
- No shipping from Europe. The stand is built from US inventory, close to the show.
- No storage costs. You don't own a stand that sits in a warehouse between shows.
- A clear budget. One itemised quote in USD for the stand, graphics and installation.
- A good way to test the US market. Rent for your first one or two shows, then decide whether a custom build makes sense.
Rental that looks like your brand
A rental stand doesn't have to look like a catalogue booth. We can plan your layout and branding around reusable rental components, so the stand fits your products and your space. Ask us what is possible for your show and stand size.
Stand sizes
We can quote rental stands for common US booth sizes, from 10×10 ft (3×3 m) inline booths to 10×20 ft, 20×20 ft and larger islands. Tell us your space and we'll confirm what is available.
Double-deck stands are not part of standard rental. We quote them separately as a custom project.
What a rental quote can include
Ask us to include any of these in one quote:
- Stand structure and printed graphics
- Flooring, lighting and furniture
- LED walls and screens
- Transport to the venue
- Installation and dismantle
- Project management
Some costs are charged by the venue or the official show contractor, not by us: material handling (drayage), electricity, internet and rigging for hanging signs. We list them in your quote as estimates, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Graphics, several shows and storage
- Keep your graphics. Ask us whether your printed graphics can be kept and reused at your next show.
- Several shows in one year? Ask us about using one rental stand across several US shows, with storage in between.
Timing
Plan 6 to 12 weeks before the show if you can. Faster turnarounds are sometimes possible, but options are more limited and rush costs may apply. Large or complex stands need more time.
Payment
Rentals are paid like our other projects: a deposit when you sign, most of the balance before the show, and the rest after dismantle. Contracts are signed with American Exhibit LLC, in USD. Euro payments are accepted.
Damage and insurance
Normal wear is our responsibility. Damage caused by accident or misuse during the show is charged to the exhibitor, so we recommend exhibition insurance. Your contract sets out who is responsible for what.
Rent or build custom?
Renting usually makes sense if you exhibit in the US up to about three times a year, or if this is your first US show. If you plan to come back to the same shows every year with the same look, a custom stand can be the better long-term choice. Tell us your show plan and we'll show you both options.
Rent or buy? Compare both options.
Common questions
Can I rent a stand for just one show? Yes. Most rentals are for a single show.
Will my rental stand look like everyone else's? It doesn't have to. We plan the layout and graphics around your brand. Ask us what can be done for your stand size.
Can I rent LED walls with the stand? Yes, ask us to add LED walls or screens to your rental quote.
How far ahead should I book? 6 to 12 weeks before the show is comfortable. Larger stands need more time.
