Rent or buy?
A Unitree Robotics G1 day with an operator costs $2,800 to $3,499 in the US, against $17,990 to buy one from a US dealer. The day rate pays for the operator, transport, setup and the provider's risk as much as for the robot, so for one or two events a year renting is far cheaper, while a team that will run the robot itself for many days, or needs to program it, is better off buying: see the G1 datasheet for what each edition can do and its delivered price in your country.
Self-service rentals are the cheap middle ground: the robot is delivered to your address for a few days or weeks and you run it yourself, which suits a trial before a purchase, a film shoot or a lab that wants to test a platform before it commits.
What to ask before you book
Rates are not like for like, so compare what each one includes. Ask whether an operator or technician stays on site for the whole booking, where the delivery area ends and what travel outside it costs, whether damage cover is included, and whether the robot can be programmed with your own routine before the day. Check the minimum booking too: rates on this page run from an hour with a three-hour minimum to a week or a month.
A rented humanoid performs what it has been set up to do, under someone's supervision, and none of the machines here works unattended in a crowd. Our explainer on why no humanoid comes with autonomy in the box covers what that means on the day.
Rates are each provider's published starting price on the date shown, before tax unless the row says otherwise; your quote depends on dates, place and duration. None of these providers pays HumanoidStore for this listing. Know a rental offer we are missing? Tell us at hello@humanoidstore.co.
