How to Price a 360 Booth Rental: Packages and Quotes

Hourly rate or packages

You can charge per hour or sell packages. Most clients prefer packages, because they want one number for the evening, not a calculator.

A package is a fixed duration at a fixed price, with a clear list of what is included. A 3-hour package is the most common anchor, and weddings often take 4 hours. Entry packages run 2 to 3 hours, and premium ones can run 4 to 6 hours (researched Oct 2026).

Name the packages by what the client is planning, not by hours alone. A corporate launch and a birthday party have different needs, and a label such as Wedding 4 hours tells the client you have done this before.

Keep an hourly rate for your own use. It lets you price extra time, and it tells you whether a package is worth taking when you add travel and setup.

What market prices look like

These ranges come from operator listings and booking data. They mix cities and event types, so treat them as a starting point. They depend on your market.

In the United States, 2 hours is about $450-$550 (€390-€480) and 3 hours about $420-$1,200 (€365-€1,045), with a common middle of $550-$700. Four hours is about $520-$1,000 (€450-€870). Seller blogs quote $750-$1,500 (€650-€1,300) and above, but that is what they recommend, not what every customer pays.

In the United Kingdom, 3 hours is about £425-£700 (€495-€815, $570-$940). A London 360 event is broadly quoted at £400-£800 (€465-€935, $535-$1,075), and an extra hour is £50-£90 (€60-€105, $65-$120).

For Germany, few operators publish hourly 360 prices, so the data is thin. Video booth rental in Berlin is about €550-€1,500 ($630-$1,725) on marketplace averages, and one Munich operator lists a full-day package at €949 ($1,090). Ask local operators before you set your own number.

What to include in each package

Decide what is in the price before you decide the price. A clear list avoids arguments on the day.

Typical inclusions are the booth hours, setup and takedown time, an attendant, unlimited clips for guests, and a basic overlay with the event name or date. Say whether setup time counts inside the hours or before them.

Spell out the space you need. A 360 platform needs about 3 by 3 metres of clear floor, plus room for the queue. If the venue cannot give you that, the client should hear it when they book, not at load-in.

Add-ons and extra fees

Add-ons let a small client stay cheap and a larger client pay for more. Typical figures are an extra hour at $50-$200 (€45-€175), a custom overlay or template at $50-$100 (€45-€85), digital copies or a gallery at $50-$100 (€45-€85), and a premium backdrop at $75-$150 (€65-€130). Waiting time is often charged at $50-$75 per hour (€45-€65).

Travel and extra attendants are charged too, but no firm range was found, so set them from your own costs. A simple rule is a flat fee beyond a set distance, such as 25 miles, plus parking if the venue charges.

Do not give away everything to win a booking. If a client wants a custom overlay, a gallery and a second hour, that is a bigger package, and it should cost more.

Deposits and payment terms

Take a deposit to hold the date. Without one, a client can cancel on the Thursday before a Saturday wedding, and you have lost a slot you could have sold twice.

State the deposit, the balance due date and the cancellation terms in writing. Keep them short enough that a client reads them. Do not add promises you cannot keep, such as a refund you would not want to pay.

Check the rules where you operate. Deposit and cancellation terms can be regulated differently from one country to the next, so read what applies to you before you copy another operator's terms.

How to quote

Reply within a day. The client has probably asked three operators, and the first clear quote often wins.

A good quote has the date, the venue, the hours, the package name, the total, the deposit and the next step. Offer two options, such as 3 hours and 4 hours, so the client chooses between yours rather than against someone else's.

Here is a worked case. A client asks for a 3-hour reception slot. You quote 3 hours with an attendant and a basic overlay, then list a fourth hour and a custom overlay as options. The client sees what each choice adds, and you are not negotiating from a blank page.

If a client pushes back on price, remove something from the package instead of cutting the number. A shorter booking at your price protects your rate for the next client.

Before you commit to a rate, work out what one event costs you in time, travel, wear on the gear and software. The Academy profit calculator turns those costs into a minimum price per event.
