Ever wonder how much money you could have saved if you only had rented a beautiful custom trade show exhibit rather than purchased it outright? Ever wonder how much more money you could have saved if you rented the lightweight version of the trade show rental exhibit system rather than the traditional custom display?

If you are planning a one time or occasional trade show appearance or if you have a simultaneous trade show in another part of the country that conflicts with your exhibit schedule, renting a trade show booth makes good sense. If you need to modify or enhance your current exhibit, renting affordable, modular components also makes good sense.

Smart exhibitors take advantage of substantial cost savings without losing quality by renting a trade show display that has lightweight, versatile custom components that are rugged and durable yet simple to install and dismantle. Improbable, you say? Not when you incorporate new technology that changes the trade show exhibit rental dynamics.

Here are the four state-of- the art ways to cut trade show rental exhibit costs:

1. Test drive a lightweight custom or custom modular trade show rental exhibit
The lightweight trade show display will be virtually anything you’d like it to be. Modifying or enhancing your current exhibit with adding rental components can also boast the contemporary look of a trade show exhibit while substantially reducing operating costs.

2.Choose flexible and versatile modular components
Gear up to adapt to handle any space or design challenge. Find a high tech trade show display system that can easily fit together fresh graphics with revamped sizing and placement to make your trade show display look imaginative and new. For example, you can lighten the overall appearance of your trade show exhibit by changing solid panels for smoked, frosted or etched inserts. You may wish to add curved elements or tension fabrics that are custom designed for variety and intrigue.
By way of example, EuroSys’ is a trade show display system that features state-of- the art extruded aluminum materials that are stable yet lightweight platforms. They are flexible enough to add modular wall elements to enclose some or all of exhibit space with interiors that have a clean, crisp sophisticated appearance.

3.Keep It Simple
Select a trade show rental display that packs easily and is uncomplicated to set up and dismantle. If you do, you can save 75% on operational costs over traditional custom rental properties. By choosing a trade show rental exhibit that packs a dozen panels into one crate, you will also be able to substantially reduce operating costs such as freight and drayage.

4.Reduce or eliminate refurbishing costs.
If you plan to rent for more than one show, look for a trade show exhibit that is rugged and durable to insure minimum refurbishing costs once the trade show is over. Traditional custom trade show exhibit budgets set aside 18% of their show costs for refurbishing. With the latest high tech trade show display systems, the refurbishing budget shrinks to 2% – 3%.

Saving on trade show rental exhibits is important to keep in mind when you are considering renting. Remember, when you rent a trade show display, you will save money by selecting a high tech solution that follows the four cost-saving principles outlined above.

This is true wherever you have your trade show exhibit, whether the exhibit is at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Moscone Center in San Francisco, the Santa Clara Convention Center, the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, throughout the country and international destinations.

Renting a vehicle may seem like a simple process, however it is only simple if you know what to expect and are prepared when you get to the counter. Now if you are renting a vehicle for local around town usage, there probably be very few things to consider but if you will be traveling to an international destination and then renting a vehicle you need to make sure that you are prepared with everything you will need to make your rental go smoothly.

Putting your driver’s license, passport and insurance documents all together along with your rental confirmation number will make the transition a much smoother one. Also, be sure to find out in advance if you will need extra documentation, especially if you are traveling abroad, some of these documents need to be obtained in your home land in advance.

2. KNOWLEDGE – Know in advance what to expect when you arrive. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the vehicle you will be leasing and how it works. Be prepared that you will probably spend about an hour getting everything set to go, even when you are prepared, you will need to take the extra time to read over the rental agreement and to look over the car and make yourself familiar with it. Knowing in advance that this process will take time will allow you to be better prepared. If you are traveling for a long day and the family is in tow, let them do some sightseeing while you complete the rental process or suggest they go for a bite to eat. This will allow you to take the time you need to get everything in order.

3. QUESTIONS – Ask all the questions you need to, whether about the operation of the vehicle or about the agreement itself. Ask them about emergency road service and insurance. Make sure you have a firm understanding of everything before you drive the car off the lot.

Getting everything in order prior to taking your rental vehicle off the lot is the best way to ensure that you have a successful rental. Being prepared with the correct documentation and gaining the knowledge you need before taking your car hire off the lot will make for the best possible rental experience.
