Premium rental rates reflect the ARRI brand cachet and image quality. High demand in LA, NYC, and Atlanta for commercial and narrative work. Body-only at $400-700/day, full packages with lens sets at $700-1200/day. The high purchase price means strong rental income potential but longer payback. 15% Sharegrid service fee.
It depends on your market and booking frequency. In high-demand cities like Los Angeles and New York, the ARRI Alexa Mini is one of the most requested cameras on rental platforms. In smaller markets, finding consistent bookings is harder. Use the calculator above to model your specific scenario.
Full Kit listings command $700-$1200/day compared to $400-$700/day for body only, but require a $55,000 upfront investment vs $36,000 for body only. The higher-tier listing typically has a better ROI per dollar invested if you can maintain consistent bookings.
Sharegrid charges a 15% service fee on all bookings. Multi-day rentals also typically receive a 10-30% discount off the daily rate. This means your net earnings per day are lower than the listed rate. The calculator above accounts for the 15% platform fee.
