We are a family-owned rental outfit in Albany, and St. Augusta is 26 miles up the road. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
St. Augusta is 26 miles from Albany, roughly a 35-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. 26 miles is an easy pull on good road. Plenty of St. Augusta customers do it themselves and skip the delivery line entirely.
With about 3,629 residents, St. Augusta 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. St. Augusta runs a full calendar — graduations, weddings, fundraisers, company events — and the venues here are used to outside rentals rolling in.
We cover St. Augusta as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in St. Cloud, Waite Park and Rockville, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. Renting per chair per day is how a two-day party quietly becomes a four-figure invoice. We rent the trailer instead. We would rather turn down a booking than take one we cannot do properly.
178 steel folding chairs and 4 banquet tables, already loaded on racks inside an enclosed trailer. It rents as one bundle. There is no per-chair rate to calculate, no weekend surcharge, and no separate delivery line unless we are driving it to you.
| 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.
The chairs hang on racks and the tables ride along the wall. You pull what you need off the rack, and at the end of the night you hang them back. That is the entire unload and reload — no stacking hundred-chair towers, no games of trailer Tetris in the dark, and no counting them back in one at a time.
It also means the count is honest. We load 178 chairs, you get 178 chairs, and if your St. Augusta event only needs sixty you have spares for the ones that end up wet, wobbly or claimed by somebody's cooler.
$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 St. Augusta is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery applies here.
About 26 miles from Albany, roughly a 35-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. Flat-rate delivery applies to St. Augusta, which is 26 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
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.
It is a normal enclosed trailer. If you have pulled a boat or a skid loader trailer you will be fine. If you have not, most people would rather we deliver, and that is a fair call.
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.
