Hitch & Host runs out of Albany, 65 miles from Benson. Family owned, one trailer, one price. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Benson is about 65 miles out from Albany — roughly 85 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. At 65 miles, towing it yourself is the economical call if you have the vehicle for it. If you do not, we will quote the drive honestly.
With about 3,451 residents, Benson is big enough to have real venues and a steady run of events, but small enough that your party is not a rounding error to whoever takes the booking. Benson has enough going on that most weekends somebody is setting up folding chairs somewhere. We would rather it was ours than six borrowed sets.
We cover Benson as part of a run through Swift County that also takes in De Graff, Murdock and Kerkhoven, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. Flat pricing means you can budget the party before you know the final headcount — which is the order people actually plan in. The person reading your request is the person who loads the trailer. Nothing gets relayed.
One trailer, one flat price, and a family that reads every request itself. Here is the whole list — there is no hidden catalogue behind it.
| Chairs you actually use | What you pay | Cost per chair | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 chairs | $299 | $7.47 | Same trailer, same price |
| 80 chairs | $299 | $3.74 | Same trailer, same price |
| 120 chairs | $299 | $2.49 | Same trailer, same price |
| 178 chairs | $299 | $1.68 | Same trailer, same price |
One flat $299 for the weekend whether you pull 40 chairs off the rack or all 178. Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. That is the whole reason we bundle it.
Pick the loaded trailer up in Albany with a truck or SUV rated to tow, using a 2-5/16 inch ball. Tow it to Benson, pull the chairs off, host, hang them back, bring it home. This is the cheapest way and it is what most people do.
Tell us the date, headcount and address and we deliver to Benson on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Delivery quoted by distance for Benson. Bounce houses are always delivered and set up by us.
$299 for the weekend gets you all 178 folding chairs and 4 tables as one bundle, whether you use forty of them or all of them. A $200 refundable deposit holds the date. Delivery to Benson is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
About 65 miles from Albany, roughly a 85-minute drive. It is an easy haul if you are towing it yourself.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Delivery quoted by distance applies to Benson, which is 65 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
A chair or two out of 178 is wear and tear, not a problem. The deposit is there for real damage, and in practice we have rarely needed it.
Usually yes. Midweek is quieter for us than Saturdays, so extending into a Monday or picking up on a Thursday is often easier than people expect. Ask in the booking form.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and the arithmetic is public: $299 across 178 chairs is $1.68 a chair for the entire weekend. Companies that price per chair per day multiply that by however many days you keep them. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
