Yes, you can rent an LED screen from HOOQD. Rental is available for both short-term use (from one day to a week, for events) and longer-term use (from months to years, for permanent locations). Renting is a good option if you don’t want to make a large investment, the location is temporary, or you want to test whether an LED screen works for you first. Buying is more cost-effective in the long run. In this article, we explain the difference so you can make the right choice.
When does renting make sense?
Renting an LED screen makes sense in a number of situations:
For events and temporary use
Are you organising a festival, trade fair, tournament or other event? Then you need a screen for a specific period. Buying one doesn’t make sense: you’d be paying for a screen that sits unused for most of the year. Renting gives you exactly what you need, for as long as you need it, including installation and on-site support.
To try before you buy
Not sure whether an LED screen will deliver the results you expect? Rent one first. That way, you can see for yourself how it affects your visibility, customer footfall or sponsorship value, without the financial commitment of a purchase.
Temporary location or seasonal use
Do you have a shop in a pop-up location, or do you only use a screen during the summer season? Then renting is more cost-effective than buying. You only pay for the period when the screen is in use.
Limited start-up budget
Buying an LED screen requires an investment of several thousand to tens of thousands of euros. If that budget isn’t available right now, but you still want to get started, renting lets you gain visibility straight away without a large upfront cost.
When is buying a better option?
In the long run, buying is almost always more cost-effective. An LED screen from HOOQD lasts for more than 10 years. Over that period, the rental costs for a comparable screen are considerably higher than the purchase price.
- You pay once and have no monthly commitments
- The screen is yours, and you can always sell it or move it
- A purchase includes a 3-year all-in warranty: no unexpected repair costs
- Sponsors and partners see a permanent installation as more reliable and are more likely to invest in it
As a rule of thumb: if you’re going to use the screen at the same location for more than 12 to 18 months, buying is almost always cheaper.
What’s included when you rent from HOOQD?
HOOQD doesn’t offer screens on their own. Rental includes the complete package:
- Delivery and installation of the screen at your location
- Configuration and setup of the management system
- Help with your first content
- Technical support throughout the rental period
- Dismantling and removal at the end of the rental period
You don’t have to worry about a thing. We make sure the screen is in place, works properly and does what it’s supposed to do.
How much does it cost to rent an LED screen?
The rental price depends on the size, specifications and rental period. As a guide:
- Small screen (approx. 2 x 1 m), daily rate: € 300,-
- Medium-sized screen (approx. 2 x 3,5 m), daily rate: € 500,- to € 750,-
- Large screen or perimeter display, daily rate: € 1.500,- to € 2.000,-
- Long-term rental (months): price on request, with a lower monthly rate than the daily rate
Always request a tailored quote. The final price depends on your specific situation, location and the installation required.
Can I rent first and then buy?
Yes. If you start by renting and decide you want to buy the screen, we’ll always explore the options with you. In some cases, part of the rental period can be deducted from the purchase price. Ask about the terms when requesting your quote.
