Local vs. National Rental Company

Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a rental company for an upcoming corporate or marketing event.

Rent Local

• Heavy Equipment – speakers, sound boards and lighting can be very expensive to ship so a local rental company would be most cost effective


• Knowledge of Event Space – some locations may be difficult to set up or have very specific requirements therefore local rental companies would have that insider knowledge needed
  
  
• Constantly Shifting Needs – often events shift and rental requirements change constantly therefore a local rental company can easily adjust the rental agreement without delay
  
  
• Tight Timelines – events that have very little lead time are often best served by a local rental company where deliver can be same day

Rent National

• 2+ Locations – whether producing a roadshow across the U.S. or having a sales meetings on both coasts, there needs to be consistency from event-to-event; that would be provided by a national rental company
  
  
• Large inventory needed – if your event needs iPads or laptops for every attendee or an interactive handheld device for meeting-wide polling, a national rental company can insure the inventory
  
  
• Lots of lead time with set needs – events that have been done year after year with lot of lead time and very specific set requirements can be handled cost effectively by a national rental company
  
  
• Specialized Equipment Required – when looking to use new technology such as audience response systems, iPads or check-in kiosks in your event, national rental companies often have the knowledge
