[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 47241, member: 30"] Re: pricing for a rig rental It depends on the particualr market segment you are in. Corporate shows typically (or at least used to be) 10% of gear PLUS all other expenses-labor-transport etc. But the "normal" rental market (that most of the people are in) is much less. I never got near 5% (and that would even be throwing in all other expenses for FREE. With a 100K rig (which is not a large rig-when you consider EVERYTHING-cables-trunks-racks and all the other tidbits) and 5%, that would be 5K for the gear plus labor/transport. That could easily add another 1-2K (or more-depending on rates). I never saw that. My experience (and yes everybodies is different) was around 1-2% of gear worth-including labor. Now that would be for a full show. Piece rental is a different animal. If somebody just wants an amp-cabinet or such, you can get closer to the 5-10% mark. Now my figures/guess-ta-mates are based on my experience and I have been out of the rental market for more than a decade-so things may have changed. If I could have gotten 5% + labor-I probably would not have gotten out of the rental business-but I got tired of not making any money-buying new gear to get to a new level and not gettting any more money. Plus the physical toll was wearing on me. [/QUOTE]
