What is the advantage of renting versus buying?
Renting is a better solution for several reasons. For temporary purposes such as tradeshows, corporate events, or any short term effort requiring audio visual or computer assets, renting is lower cost versus capital procurement. Alliant Events will manage, pre-configure, deliver, and setup your event. Renting allows your company to focus on the success of the event versus having to self inventory, setup and manage assets. As well, it allows your company to expense the event for tax purposes, and allows capital money to be spent on other efforts.

Alliant Events accepts credit cards, CODs, prepayments with checks and upon credit approval we will accept Net-30 terms. In some cases, a 50% down payment is required. Ask your sales representative for more information on specific order requirements.
