Why Rent a Trade Show Exhibit?
Renting a trade show booth is often a smarter choice for many businesses, especially those looking to manage costs without sacrificing quality. Renting a trade show exhibit helps you avoid high upfront investments and the ongoing hassle of storage and asset management.
At Detonate, our exhibit rentals are ideal for companies that want a large, impactful presence with a lighter cost of ownership. With access to high-quality displays and reduced commitment, renting offers flexibility, speed, and budget control — all without compromising your brand’s visibility or experience.
Are You Facing Any of These Challenges?
- You only exhibit occasionally
- You’re new to exhibiting or entering a new market
- You need a display on short notice
- You have limited staff, space, or storage
- You’re updating your branding
If any of these sound familiar, our Rental Exhibit Program is the perfect solution.

Off-The-Shelf Rental
One of the greatest benefits of renting a ready-made trade show booth is the time you’ll save. Ready-made rental displays are pre-built — the only time investment required is in designing and printing your graphics. This is an attractive, cost-effective option that lets you “try before you buy.”
Our off-the-shelf booth rental kits are the go-to solution for exhibitors needing speed and simplicity. These displays feature pre-configured layouts that only require your custom artwork and creativity. Perfect for last-minute opportunities, they allow marketers and exhibitors to make a strong impact — quickly and cost-effectively.
Client Example: Odoo at the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show
When Odoo, a client from Buffalo, NY, reached out about exhibiting at the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show (CMTS.ca) in Toronto, they faced a familiar challenge: cross-border shipping logistics and rising freight costs.
Shipping a full trade show booth across the border can mean dealing with customs paperwork, brokerage fees, potential delays, and high transport costs — especially with today’s unpredictable logistics environment. Instead of taking that risk, Odoo chose to rent a booth locally through Detonate.
We designed a 20’x30’ open-concept rental booth featuring:
✅ A tall storage tower and welcome counter as a bold visual anchor
✅ Lower demo towers with branded panels and TV screens
✅ A large branded hanging sign visible across the show floor
✅ Clear sightlines, open flow, and an inviting layout
By working with a Canadian-based exhibit partner, Odoo avoided complex cross-border coordination, saved thousands in shipping and customs fees, and benefited from cost savings in Canadian dollars.
The result? A show-stopping, turnkey exhibit that delivered big-brand impact — without the headaches or expenses of international transport.
This project highlights how renting locally through Detonate helps U.S. exhibitors navigate border logistics, control budgets, and focus on what matters most: connecting with customers and driving results.
