Importance Section
Why Choose a Rental Exhibit?
Renting isn’t just the “budget option” anymore. For many exhibitors, trade show display rentals are the smartest way to stay flexible while keeping costs in check. Instead of locking yourself into a single booth design, you can scale up or down from show to show, test different layouts, or experiment with fresh messaging before committing to a permanent build. It’s an easy way to stay agile in an industry where every event can bring new goals and challenges.
Rentals also save you from the hidden costs of ownership. No storage fees. No maintenance or refurbishment between shows. Each time you rent, you get a booth that feels brand-new, refreshed with your latest graphics, accessories, and branding. That means less hassle for your team and more confidence that your booth will impress from the first minute the doors open.
From 10×10 inlines to bold 20×20 islands and beyond, Classic Exhibits offers one of the largest rental inventories in North America. Every option is customizable, polished, and engineered for quick turnaround, giving you the flexibility to meet your goals without compromise. Explore rental exhibits that look and feel custom—without the long-term commitment.

Types of Trade Show Display Rentals
Island Rentals
Island rentals are built for maximum impact with 360-degree visibility on the trade show floor. Open on all four sides, they draw attendees in from every direction, making them ideal for brands that want a bold presence and steady traffic flow. Classic’s rental islands range from 20’x20’ up to expansive 40’x50’ layouts, each customizable with meeting rooms, demo areas, or product showcases. Thanks to modular engineering, you can resize or reconfigure for different shows without starting over. Renting delivers high impact at roughly one-third to one-half the cost of ownership.
Inline Rentals
Inline rental exhibits are a sleek, cost-effective option for 10’, 20’, and 30’ booth spaces. Positioned against the show floor’s perimeter, they maximize impact in a compact footprint while still offering strong brand presence. Classic Exhibits’ inline rentals feature modern tension fabric graphics, integrated lighting, and options for shelving, counters, or monitors. They’re ideal for companies that want a professional look without the scale of an island. Plus, modular layouts mean you can reuse the same framework across multiple shows, updating only graphics or accessories as your goals evolve.
Rental Accessories
Accessories take your rental booth from functional to unforgettable. Classic Exhibits offers a wide range of add-ons, including charging stations, kiosks, counters, and monitor stands, all designed to integrate seamlessly with island and inline structures. These extras don’t just fill space—they create opportunities for interaction, engagement, and comfort that keep visitors in your booth longer. Whether you need a branded reception counter, a tech hub for demos, or lounge seating that invites conversation, accessories let you tailor your rental to match your show strategy.
Inclusion Section
What’s Included in Our Rental Exhibits

Before it ever leaves our Portland facility, your booth is staged and checked for accuracy, with optional live previews through our Peek-a-Booth webcams. Need extra help on-site?

Process Section
How the Rental Process Works
Renting with Classic Exhibits is designed to be simple, transparent, and stress-free. It starts with browsing hundreds of pre-engineered designs in Exhibit Design Search, then tailoring your selection with custom graphics, finishes, and accessories. Once your booth is chosen, our team builds and stages it at our Portland facility for a full quality check—viewable in real time through Peek-a-Booth webcams. From there, everything is securely packed and shipped with clear setup instructions, while your distributor partner can coordinate optional installation and dismantle services. The result: a booth that looks custom, performs seamlessly, and arrives ready to impress.

With options from compact 10×10 inlines to expansive 40×50 islands, you’ll find a layout that matches your event goals, budget, and traffic flow. Every design is engineered for flexibility, so you can scale up or down as your program evolves.
Step 2
Customize Your Look

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Rental Exhibits are available in a wide range of sizes, from compact 10×10 inlines to expansive 40×50 islands. Configurations include inline, peninsula, island, and hybrid layouts with add-on accessories like kiosks, meeting rooms, and demo areas. There’s not much you can’t do with a rental exhibit.
With modular display systems, you can resize or reconfigure from show to show without starting from scratch.
Yes, many exhibitors start with a rental display and later invest in a purchased booth. Graphics and certain modular components can often be reused, reducing the cost of upgrading. This approach is ideal for brands that want to test layouts or messaging before committing to a long-term custom build.
Or consider a hybrid exhibit approach to your trade show marketing program. Rent some elements, like counters or workstations, and purchase the backwall or tower. If your marketing strategy changes frequently, this flexible approach makes it easier to customize your display and messaging for a specific trade show or event.
Rental Exhibits include staging with graphics, secure packing, shipping coordination, and detailed setup instructions. For added convenience, installation and dismantle (I&D) services are available through Classic Exhibits Distributor Partners, who coordinate with trusted crews at the show site.
This gives you the flexibility to handle setup yourself or rely on trade show professionals for a turnkey solution.
It’s best to reserve your rental booth no later than 12–16 weeks before the show. This ensures time for design selection, graphic production, staging, and shipping. Smaller rentals may be turned around faster, but reserving early guarantees more design options, smoother logistics, and peace of mind as the event approaches.
If you’re in a time crunch, consider one of our Rapid Rentals. These inline designs can be turned around, assuming graphics are ready, in approximately 8-10 days.
Yes, Rental Booths can be customized with your company’s branding, graphics, and finishes… within reason. This customization ensures your booth feels like a one-of-a-kind design rather than a generic rental. Choose from a wide selection of counters, workstations, genius bars, towers, and lightboxes. The options are impressive!
And remember, when you rent an exhibit, you own the graphics, meaning they can be reused across future rentals or purchased exhibits. That’s can be a significant cost savings over multiple trade shows.
Renting a trade show display usually costs one-third to one-half the price of buying the same booth. For example, a $60,000 custom build might rent for $20,000–$35,000.
However, it’s important to remember that Rentals eliminate ownership costs like storage, refurbishment, and long-term maintenance, which makes them ideal for flexible budgets and multi-show programs.
