AV Projector Rentals


Have an important presentation coming up and you need a projector? You have one of two options: 1) buy a projector or 2) rent a projector.

If you only give sporadic presentations where you need a projector, why spend the money purchasing a projector when you can rent one instead? With an AV projector rental, you can display your presentations in a variety of environments without the high cost of purchasing and maintaining your own.

Renting a projector is now super-easy, with rental companies in most cities and, if you are giving a presentation in a smaller city or more rural area, you also have the option of going to a nationwide AV projector rental company which will ship your AV equipment to you.

Available in 800x600 or 1024x768 sizes, your projector rental (with an accompanying built-in spare lamp, carousel, and/or power cord) will enhance your presentations with the latest technology available today. You may, of course, need to ask for and obtain additional parts, such as parts to connect your projector rental to DVD players. Do be sure you take an inventory beforehand of what you may need to rent in addition to the projector: cables, screen, microphones, laptop, AV cart, etc.

Many projector rental companies offer maintenance or other insurance in case you have a problem with the projector. If the projector rental service does not provide insurance, ask if you can provide your own. Insurance (costing anywhere from twenty to forty dollars) will assist with the expenses of repair for damages, and it costs much less than if the equipment had to be repaired or replaced without it.

Below are just a few of the nationwide companies providing AV projector rentals. Most of the rentals begin at $99 per day, though some are a little more expensive. If we include a price, please note that it is as of November, 2008, so do check the company to see if there has been any price increases. Price also does not include the shipping free. Renting equipment for a week or more is a cost-efficient move if you need to give multiple presentations, and you have the ability to schedule them within a week's or month's time.
