Re: pricing for a rig rental
Frank, the first and last day are priced as a one off,
1% of gear total cost, expenses, profit and labor. (My expenses usually includes a pre-calculated, fixed price to cover phone/office, storage/warehouse, insurance, etc., and then add transportation, and other hard costs such as food and lodging.) (My profit is sometimes just 2% or more on gear, or an arbitrary amount to show them that I would like to make money.)
The middle days I would take out all but the hard expenses, and possibly some of the gear, but labor is never discounted. An example would be charging for 4-5 days on a week, or 6-7 days for the gear on the ten day show.
