Trusted Exhibit Rental Experts Helping Marketing Teams Stay Flexible Across Multiple Shows

Art & Display provides custom trade show exhibit rentals from our Santa Cruz, California facility, giving marketing teams a flagship-quality presence on the show floor without owning the hardware. Rentals fit programs entering new markets, scaling up for a flagship event, or refreshing messaging between industry events, and the right choice comes down to cost, customization, and how turnkey delivery works.

Marketing directors running several shows a year use rentals to keep their brand presence current without paying to store a booth their brand has outgrown. With over 75 years of combined design and fabrication experience and work delivered for Samsung, NASA, and Google, our team builds every rental exhibit to the same standard as our custom work.

Why Rent a Trade Show Booth Instead of Buying?

Renting a trade show booth costs one-third to one-half as much as buying, and it removes storage fees, maintenance, and the long-term commitment of owning a structure your brand may outgrow. Renting makes the most sense when your marketing highlights change between shows, when one event calls for a larger exhibit footprint than your owned inventory covers, or when an upcoming trade show lands with only weeks of lead time.

Rentals also give your team access to current LED video walls and interactive displays without owning hardware that dates quickly. When an owned exhibit stops matching your brand, the options are a costly rebuild or a presence that undersells your positioning, while a rental program updates with every show. Reusable modular components also cut waste from one event to the next, which supports environmentally responsible exhibiting.

Custom Exhibit Rental Solutions and Services

Art & Display offers over 700 customizable booth designs, and our rental components assemble in many configurations to match your event objectives and booth size. Every rental exhibit carries the same fabrication standards and dedicated project management as our custom builds.

Custom Trade Show Booth Rentals

We combine stock rental components into a layout planned around your show goals, then refinish their laminate surfaces in your brand colors for one consistent look. Teams exhibiting at several shows a year can add one owned element, such as a hanging sign or backlit wall, that travels to every event.

Island and Inline Booth Rentals

Island booth concepts deliver 360-degree visibility at flagship shows, with open layouts that welcome attendees from every aisle. Inline booth rentals come in 10', 20', and 30' widths, so one rental program can cover several exhibit sizes across your trade show calendar.

Modular Rental Components

Modular exhibits resize and reconfigure for different shows, so one rental program adapts to every exhibit footprint on your calendar. Components combine in multiple ways to meet different booth sizes and business objectives, which saves a separate build for each venue and keeps your brand presence consistent.

Custom Graphics and Graphic Production

Our designers create custom graphics around your goals, and we print them in-house on a FUJIFILM Acuity UV flatbed printer. Graphics, layouts, and messaging update between events, so your rental exhibit keeps pace with your positioning and reinforces your brand identity at every show.

Interactive Displays and AV Integration

LED walls, touchscreens, interactive kiosks, and integrated AV help your team engage attendees and build a memorable exhibit experience on the show floor. Renting gives you current technology at each event, so your trade show displays stay as up to date as your messaging.

Why Choose Exhibit Rentals from Art & Display

A Flagship-Quality Booth Without the Capital

Rentals cost a fraction of a comparable custom build and remove storage fees entirely. Our pricing is transparent with no hidden costs, so your budget goes toward the show itself and stays out of a structure sitting unused between events.

Fresh Design and Messaging at Every Show

Customizable rental components combine differently at each event, and graphics update as your campaign does. Your booth reflects your current positioning at every show, which keeps your presence on the show floor aligned with where your brand is headed.

No Storage, Maintenance, or Ownership Costs

Turnkey packages handle everything from booth design through execution and post-show breakdown. Our dismantle services make packing up as straightforward as setup, and no ownership responsibilities carry over between shows.

How Our Turnkey Trade Show Exhibit Rental Process Works

Step 1

Start With a Discovery Call

The design process starts with a discovery call to learn your goals, the upcoming trade shows on your calendar, and the exhibit space you have been assigned. We review your event objectives and budget, then recommend a configuration that fits what each show needs.

Step 1

Step 2

Concept Development and Client Approval

Our exhibit designers map your requirements to a rental configuration and produce the layout and graphics plan. You review and approve the design ahead of production, and our project management team oversees the entire process from concept through sign-off.

Step 2

Step 3

Graphics Production and Assembly

Custom graphics are produced in-house and applied to rental components with the same care and materials as our custom builds. We pre-assemble and quality-test every element ahead of shipping, so everything that arrives at the show site fits and performs as designed.

Step 3

Step 4

Delivery and On-Site Installation

Rental pieces ship directly to your location or the convention center. Our team handles on-site installation and supervision through opening, and turnkey delivery includes logistics coordination so your exhibit arrives on schedule.

Step 5

Dismantle and Planning for Your Next Exhibit

After the show, we handle dismantling and removal. For programs running multiple shows, we adapt the configuration and refresh graphics for your next event, so each exhibit builds on the success of the last.
