How much does a trade show booth rental cost in California?
In 2026, turnkey rentals across California run from about $5,800 for a 10x10 inline to roughly $98,900 for a 50x50 island. It's one fixed number covering design, graphics, freight, install, dismantle and show paperwork, and it reflects local labor and freight rather than the design.
Which California venues and shows do you cover?
We cover the state end to end — the Anaheim Convention Center (Natural Products Expo West each March), San Francisco's Moscone Center (the RSA Conference and GDC each spring), the Los Angeles Convention Center (Anime Expo), and the San Diego Convention Center (Comic-Con). California labor jurisdictions apply at these venues, which our crews coordinate.
Which California cities do you serve?
We serve California's major show cities — Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Anaheim — building and inspecting every booth at our Las Vegas warehouse and shipping statewide on a 1–2 days transit, with local crews handling install and dismantle.
How long is freight from Las Vegas into California?
Plan a 1–2 days over-the-road transit from our Las Vegas warehouse into California. We schedule backward from your venue's target time and book the carrier to hit that window, with an advance-warehouse buffer when timing is tight.
What booth sizes can I rent in California?
Every footprint from a 10x10 inline (from $5,800) through a 50x50 anchor island (to about $98,900). The size grid on this page links to each California booth-size page with locked pricing and recent builds.
Do you handle drayage and show paperwork across California?
Yes — drayage is included in the flat quote, and we file the EAC, Certificate of Insurance and electrical orders and coordinate material handling at each venue. One invoice, no separate drayage or electrical bill after the show.
How fast can I get a California quote?
Within 24 hours of submitting the form you receive a custom 3D rendering and a full price — every line under one fixed number.
Do you offer rush rentals for California shows?
Yes. Pre-built configurations can be re-skinned with your graphics in roughly 21–28 days, subject to the 1–2 days freight transit into California. Rush pricing applies, but booking early is cheaper for a major show.
Should I rent or buy for California shows?
Rent for one to three shows a year for better cash flow and design flexibility. Buying only pencils out at roughly five-plus shows annually with stable branding and the capacity to store, refurbish and re-freight the booth yourself.
Can I customize a design for a California show?
Yes. Start from a proven base and change graphics, finishes, monitor placement, counters and meeting-room layout, or go fully custom from a blank rendering — every change shown in your 3D rendering first.
Do you provide on-site support during California shows?
Yes. An on-site project lead verifies graphics, electrical and AV before doors open and stays reachable through show hours at any venue in the state.
What happens to my booth after a California show?
Our crew dismantles, repacks and ships it back to Las Vegas. We store it for 90 days at no extra cost if you plan to reuse it, and refresh graphics for your next show.
What's included in a California booth rental price?
A custom 3D rendering, full graphics production, round-trip freight from Las Vegas to your California venue, install and dismantle, EAC filing, Certificate of Insurance, electrical orders, drayage coordination, and a dedicated project manager — all under one fixed price.
Can I add AV, monitors and lighting to a California booth?
Yes — AV is fully integrated. Monitor walls, sound and presentation systems, LED towers, lighting design and controllers, and touchscreen kiosks are sourced, set up and operated by our team in one quote, with on-site AV support during show hours.
What payment terms do you offer for a California rental?
Standard terms are 50% on design approval and 50% before ship date. We accept ACH, wire and major credit cards, and Net-30 terms are available for established corporate clients with credit approval.
How do I get started?
Submit the quote form with your show, dates, city, booth number and any design notes. You get a custom 3D rendering and full price within 24 hours, with no obligation.
