How to Determine Rental Rate for Party Rental - Part 1

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, we got to sit down with a party rental industry veteran, Tom from Got You Covered Tents and Events in San Luis Obispo, CA. Tom has been in the party rental business his whole life, and in this first video of a two part series, he shares his insights on how to price various rental items.
Learn about how to determine the rental rate for your folding chairs, folding tables, stacking chairs, flatware, chinaware and glassware. And, keep your eyes peeled for part 2 in this series where Tom talks about dance floors, staging, catering equipment and tents.
This information is great for new rental companies, but also for event venues that want to know how to get a return on investment for furniture and equipment.

And of course, if you still need to buy the items we discuss when starting your party rental company, you can do so at EventStable!

    Great content. My fiancé and myself are looking into starting a rental business in the coming months. After planning for our wedding and all the money we spent. This seems to be a very lucrative business. Eventually we are looking into getting some property to have a venue for weddings and other parties.

    Hi Tyler, we hope you do it! Having been in the rental business, I can say, it's challenging, but rewarding. Keep an eye out as we will soon be publishing new videos with tours of rental companies as well as more of these types of sit-downs with rental business owners! Thanks for watching!

    Crazy to watch this video just a few years later and hear that he mentioned 8ft tables once sold for $55 and now even the cheapest 8ft is well over $120. Great video.

    How about picnic tables? The lifetime products foldable kind. See picniccity in chicago. You think they are priced right?

    I found you guys right away. Couldn't locate a rental rate though. They're probably priced right if you're making money! I'd guess that a 10-15% return per rental would be the way to go? (due to size, weight, and seasonality)

    EventStable.com thanks for looking. That’s right. Good to know. We list them at $45 per picnic table and umbrellas w/base at $30. We currently have the largest inventory of picnic tables in all of the surrounding the states. It’s definitely a niche but we love it. Thanks for the heads up your information and videos are priceless.

    Elias Cruz - hello! No generally rental rates are per event or per weekend. So if a rental company delivers a table Friday and picks it up Monday, they would charge, say, $10 for the table (and of course delivery, damage waiver, etc)

    LOL .. Samsonite hasn't been around since the first Bush administration. And yes only an idiot would use pricing based on purchase price.
