We are a family-owned rental outfit in Albany, and Willmar is 50 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.
Willmar is about 50 miles out from Albany — roughly 65 minutes each way, near the edge of where we run. At 50 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.
Willmar is one of the larger markets we serve, with roughly 21,252 people and the rental competition that comes with that. What we compete on is the flat price and the fact that you are dealing with the family that owns the trailer. Between the schools, the churches and the event spaces, Willmar generates a steady stream of the kind of party that outgrows whatever chairs are on hand.
We cover Willmar as part of a run through Kandiyohi County that also takes in Pennock, Kandiyohi and Spicer, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. You are renting a loaded trailer, not a chair count. Nobody tallies what you used when it comes back. 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 Willmar 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 Willmar is separate and quoted by distance — delivery quoted by distance applies here.
About 50 miles from Albany, roughly a 65-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 Willmar, which is 50 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.
