Captured Audience Effect
Ever pay $40 to rent a 10'x10' piece of carpet worth $10? How about $100 for a folding table or $50 for a chair? Hotels and convention centers know that most people will pay a high price. That same pricing philosophy applies to technology rentals like projectors and plasma flat panel displays. Hotels and convention centers have a 'captured audience' and can charge higher prices.
In-House AV Service Company
Hotels and convention centers often have an "In-house AV service company." They charge a rate that is substantially higher than rates charged by an industry Tech Travel Agent. Often times that rate can be as much as 50% higher! You are paying for the convenience of the hotel or convention av service. Warning, don't depend on the hotel to have the equipment you need. Often times, in-house av equipment is in less than optimum repair. That's because a hotel does not have a computer shop that can keep sensitive av equipment stored and adjusted properly.

Technology Rentals Rates are subject to Supply and Demand
The market price for computer rentals, projector rentals and plasma rentals change from day to day, location by location. Prices go up and down based on the law of supply and demand. Tech Travel Agents query equipment rental warehouses across the US and Canada to get the best possible rental rates for dates specified in the quote request.
Supply and Demand example: If there are several large conventions and conferences in town, demand for av rental equipment like Plasma Flat Panel displays increase and prices go up. When not much is going on in a 'convention market area', supply increases and prices go down.
