A turnkey hologram rental starts at 2,000 euros and includes the device, adapted 3D content, delivery, installation by a technician, staff training and pickup. Per device, count 300 to 500 euros per day for a holographic fan and 1,500 to 5,000 euros per event for a HoloBox. Book two to four weeks ahead; quotes return within 48 hours.
The Mercedes-Benz Black Box Experience did not require Mercedes to own a single holographicdevice. It required a partner who delivered, installed, operated anddisappeared, which is the entire promise of rental done properly.
This guide unpacks that promise line by line. Holovisio,the company behind hologramme.co, runs hologram rentals for 300+ clients in20+ countries, and what follows is everything worth knowing before you requesta quote: the booking itself lives on the hologram rental page.
One market note frames the whole subject: 61 percent ofattendees define an immersive experience as hands-on interaction with aproduct, while organizers tend to overspend on spectacle, according to the Freeman Trends Report. Renting a device that puts the product itself in the air is thebudget-efficient reading of that data.\
Whatdoes a hologram rental actually include?
The word turnkey does real work here. A standardHolovisio rental covers seven things, and knowing them is how you comparequotes on equal terms, because the cheapest headline number is usually the onemissing three of the seven.
• The device, tested and configured before it ships: fan, HoloBox,pyramid, wall or projection setup.
• Adapted 3D content, meaning your existing assets converted and optimized forholographic display.
• Delivery to your addressor directly to the venue, in France andinternationally.
• Installation by atechnician, under two hours for standardconfigurations, up to two days for large staged events.
• Training for your team, so the on and off, the loop and the reset take minutes tomaster.
• Support during therental, with a contact who knows yourconfiguration.
• Pickup at the end, leaving the venue exactly as found.
Two things sit outside the standard package by design:bespoke 3D creation from scratch, and show-called operation with a technicianon site. Both are available as priced options, and both belong in the quoteconversation from day one.
One inclusion deserves its own line: the site check.Venue constraints, access, power and positioning are validated before the quoteis final, which is why install days land on time. If the project involves aHoloBox, the space and installation guide gives the footprints to have ready.
Whatdoes hologram rental cost in 2026?
The rental brackets Holovisio applies across thecatalogue:
Reading rules: amounts areexcluding VAT, a per event rental typically covers one to three days ofoperation, and rates turn degressive when several events are contracted inadvance. These are the same figures as our transactional pages, with noinflated blog numbers. The complete grid, purchase brackets and 3D contentcosts included, lives in our hologram cost guide.
How longcan you rent, and how far ahead should you book?
Rental flexes from a single day to a full season. One-dayformats suit launches and press moments; per event covers a trade show;multi-event contracts carry a brand through a whole calendar at degressiverates, with the same content travelling from venue to venue. A typical seasonreads: pilot rental at one spring show, two autumn events on a multi-eventrate, and the same files rolling into a winter showroom.
Bookings are accepted two to four weeks ahead, whichcovers logistics and venue validation. When 3D content is produced from scratchrather than adapted, start the conversation at D-60: the exhibitor timeline inour trade show hologram guide shows where every step lands.
How tochoose your rental provider: the 8 questions
Any provider can quote a device. The 8 questions belowseparate a hardware supplier from a partner, and each comes with the answerworth demanding.
• Is the 3D contentincluded or extra? Adaptation ofexisting assets should be in the package; bespoke creation should be atransparent line item, never a surprise.
• Who owns the contentfiles afterwards? You should. Reusablefiles are what make a second rental cheaper than the first.
• Who installs and whodismantles? A technician on both ends,with the venue left as found, is the baseline of turnkey.
• Is on-site operationavailable? Show-called sequences need apriced option and a named operator, not an improvised promise.
• What happens if hardwarefails on day one? Ask about backup unitsand response times before signing, not after.
• Are there references inyour sector? A portfolio spanningretail, medical, industry and events, from Mercedes-Benz to Stryker, tells youthe provider has met your constraints before.
• Does coverage match yourcalendar? If the season crosses borders,confirm international delivery and installation up front.
• Is insurance handled? Clarify what the rental covers and what your event policymust add, in writing.
Print these eight into a comparison grid, one providerper column. The pattern to watch is not the cheapest line but the quietest one:the provider who answers all eight without hesitation is the one whose installday will be boring, which is the highest compliment in this business.
Rentfirst, decide later
Rental is also the intelligent path to purchase. A firstrented deployment tests the format in your exact space with a stop-rate or leadbaseline, and the 3D content produced for it runs unchanged on a purchased unitlater. Several Holovisio clients followed exactly this path, the Or en Cash retail deployment among them: one storefront proven, then the nationalroll-out.
The arithmetic flips at three to four uses a year, or atany permanent installation: at that point purchasinga holographic display takes over, withthe rental phase having paid for the learning.
Frequentlyasked questions
What isincluded in a hologram rental price?
A turnkey rental includes the device, adapted 3D content,delivery, installation by a technician, team training, support during therental and pickup at the end. Bespoke content creation and show-calledoperation are priced options.
How far inadvance should I book a hologram rental?
Two to four weeks for a standard configuration withexisting 3D assets. Start at D-60 when content is created from scratch, andearlier for multi-event seasons or international calendars.
Can I rent ahologram outside France?
Yes. Delivery, installation and support runinternationally, and multi-country programmes use the same content files venueafter venue, which keeps the marginal cost of each additional stop low.
Is rentingcheaper than buying a hologram?
