Renting an LED billboard truck costs $1,200 to $1,400 per day in most US markets. The rate is turnkey: truck, professional driver, fuel, generator power, insurance, route planning, and reporting are all included. You supply the artwork. Half-day and multi-week rates are available, and multi-truck bookings are discounted.

What a rental includes

  • LED billboard truck with bright screens on both sides and the rear
  • Licensed, insured professional driver for a 6-8 hour route day
  • Fuel, on-board generator power, and insurance
  • Custom route planning around your target audience
  • GPS route log and photo proof of play after each day
  • Same-day creative swaps if you want to change the message

What is not included

You supply finished artwork, or Boost Outdoor Media can design it for an added fee. Private-property placement requires the owner's permission, which we can help arrange. Out-of-market deployments may carry a mobilization charge if the truck needs to travel a long distance to reach you.

Rent or buy?

Renting wins below roughly 60 advertising days a year - no financing, maintenance, storage, insurance, driver payroll, or screen repairs. Buying makes sense for continuous in-house campaigns or if you plan to resell the media. See LED trucks for sale if ownership is the goal.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent an LED billboard truck?

Most US markets rent an LED billboard truck for $1,200 to $1,400 per day. That turnkey rate includes the truck, a professional driver, fuel, generator power, insurance, route planning, and daily reporting.

Does the rental include a driver?

Yes. Every Boost Outdoor Media rental includes a licensed, insured professional driver for a standard 6 to 8 hour route day. You never drive the truck yourself.

Can I rent an LED billboard truck for a single day or event?

Yes. Single-day event rentals are common for grand openings, conventions, concerts, and game days, and are priced at the standard $1,200 to $1,400 day rate.

What do I need to provide for a rental?

Finished artwork sized to the screens, plus the city, dates, and what you are promoting. If you do not have artwork, design can be added to the booking.

How far in advance should I book?

Two to three weeks is ideal for popular markets and event weekends, but rush bookings within 48 hours are often possible depending on truck availability.

Is renting cheaper than buying an LED billboard truck?

Below roughly 60 advertising days a year, renting is clearly cheaper because you avoid financing, maintenance, storage, insurance, driver payroll, and screen repairs. Buying pays off for continuous campaigns or reselling media.
