Trade Shows & Conventions
In a convention city during a convention week, the constraint is not price. It is availability, and it disappears months before the show.
Book before the city is gone
Las Vegas during CES, Chicago during the auto show, San Francisco during JPMorgan healthcare week, Orlando during a major medical congress and New York during the NRF Big Show all behave the same way: every compliant vehicle in the metro is committed weeks in advance, rates rise, and late bookings are filled from neighbouring states at a premium if at all.
We hold allocation in the major convention cities against the published show calendar. Booking your ground transportation when you book your booth costs less and, more importantly, actually gets you a car.
The convention centre is not one address
The Las Vegas Convention Center, McCormick Place, the Orange County Convention Center and the Javits Center each have several halls with separate vehicle entrances and marshalling rules that change per show. Dropping at the wrong hall can mean a twenty-minute indoor walk with a demo case.
Our dispatchers work the show's own traffic plan: which entrance is live, where rideshare is banned, where the charter marshalling yard is, and which hour the exhibit hall empties into the street.
Exhibitors, delegations and hospitality
Exhibitor crews need early-morning and late-night runs on setup and teardown days, when nothing else is moving. Delegations need a Sprinter that keeps a group together between the hall, the hotel and the customer dinner. Hospitality programmes need staged vehicles for suites, offsites and after-parties with a curfew that is actually held.

Questions
Trade Shows & Conventions: frequently asked
How early should I book for CES or a major congress?
As early as you book the booth or the room block — three to six months for the largest shows. Vehicles in those cities are genuinely finite.
Can you drop at a specific hall?
Yes. We work from the show's own traffic plan, which sets which vehicle entrances are live for that show.
Can you run vehicles during setup and teardown?
Yes, including the very early and very late runs those days require.
