Hitch & Host runs out of Albany, 65 miles from Benson. Family owned, one trailer, one price. Folding chairs and banquet tables loaded on a trailer, quoted for the whole weekend. Tents and bounce houses too. 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.
| What you get | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The loaded trailer | Quoted for the weekend | Chairs and tables on board |
| However many you use | Same quote | We do not split the load or count them back |
| Keep it Friday to Sunday | Same quote | No per-day multiplier |
| Need more than it holds | Just ask | We can add to it |
| Booking deposit | $200 | Reserves the date, comes off the total |
Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. We rent the trailer, not the chair — one flat price whether you pull a dozen off the rack or empty 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.
One quote for the weekend covers the loaded trailer — folding chairs and banquet tables — as one bundle, however many you actually use. A $200 booking deposit reserves the date and comes off the total. 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.
A chair or two out of {chairs} is wear and tear, not a problem. Real damage — a cracked seat, a bent table leg — is billed after return at the replacement cost on the rental agreement. There is no separate damage deposit.
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 it is the billing model rather than a discount: companies that price per chair per day multiply by the count and again by the days. We quote the trailer once, for the weekend. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
