Five things decide what you pay.
- The robot
- A robot dog costs less than a humanoid. In the UK a robot dog starts at £2,500 a day, a humanoid at £5,000.
- The length
- Short appearances are sold by the hour or as packages: €690 for one hour in Paris, €1,500 for 1 to 2 hours in Germany with travel included.
- Travel and shipping
- Some companies include travel, others add it on top. Ask for the price at your venue, not only the day rate.
- Country and tax
- Wages, taxes and demand differ. Most prices here are before VAT or sales tax; one in Las Vegas is all in with tax.
- The date
- December and big trade-show weeks are booked first. Asking two to eight weeks ahead gives you the most choice.

Can we rent a robot by the hour?

How much does it cost to rent a robot dog?
From £2,500 a day in the UK and from PLN 5,900 a day in Poland, both before VAT. In Dubai a meet and greet starts at AED 4,900 excluding VAT. In Germany the Unitree Go2 costs from €199 per hour before VAT, for at least 3 hours.
Is an operator included?
Almost always. Most rental companies on this page include an operator who steers the robot and looks after guests and technology. Where a company does not say so on its website, we ask for you.
Why do prices differ so much?
The robot, the length of the booking, travel and shipping, wages and taxes in each country, and demand. December and the big trade-show weeks are booked out first.
Is it cheaper to buy a robot?
Buying a Unitree G1 starts at $13,500 plus tax, import and shipping, according to the manufacturer. Training and a person to run it come on top. For one event, renting with an operator is usually simpler.
