SEMA Show booth rental: common questions
How much does it cost to rent a booth at SEMA Show 2026?
It depends on the size, the structure and what goes inside. Pick a design, set SEMA Show as your show and you’ll see the rental price range for that exact booth in a couple of minutes, with what is and isn’t included. Your exact quote arrives within 1–2 business days. Show services from Freeman (material handling, electrical, internet, cleaning) are ordered from the show and are not part of the rental price.
What is the maximum booth height at SEMA Show?
Under SEMA Show’s Exhibit Display Regulations 2026: inline and corner booths up to 8.25 ft, perimeter booths up to 12 ft, peninsulas up to 16 ft and islands up to 16 ft. Always confirm with the current exhibitor manual.
Can I have a hanging sign at SEMA Show?
Under SEMA Show’s rules: allowed over peninsula, split-island and island booths of 400 sq ft or more, with the show’s approval; the sign itself up to 8 ft tall; 10 ft back from neighbors. Rigging is ordered through the show. Our designer checks your sign’s size, height and setback for you.
How early should I book my SEMA Show booth?
About three months before the show is the sweet spot: enough time to settle the design, produce the graphics and register your installer with the show. If you’re closer than that, a rental can still be built in about a month once the design and quote are approved.
Can installation and dismantle at SEMA Show be included?
On request, yes. The exhibit builder that quotes your booth can coordinate installation & dismantle (I&D), freight and show services and quote them separately, based on SEMA Show’s labor rules and deadlines. The installer registers with the show as your exhibitor-appointed contractor (EAC) when the show requires it.
