Outdoor Event ATM Rentals
Fairs, festivals, concerts, and open-air sites — we bring cash to the field.
Outdoor events
Outdoor sites need cash that actually shows up.
Remote grounds, no phone lines, and peak windows that crush a single machine. We place ATMs on the traffic you already have — food courts, gates, and vendor rows — then keep them stocked.
Intimate events
500–2,500 people
Mid-size events
2,500–5,000 people
Large events
5,000–10,000 people
Major events

Why it works
Cash on site changes the night.
- Events with onsite ATMs typically see 5–10% higher overall spend
- ATM users often spend about 25% more than patrons without cash access
- About 75% of cash withdrawn is spent at the event
- Vendors can stay cash-primary without taking cards
- Machines can sit anywhere we get a mobile signal — we can bring power

How pricing works
Talk with us first. We’ll size the package to your event.
Every event is different. Call or request a quote and a live Emerald representative will walk you through surcharge, deposit, and how many machines you need — before anything is locked in.
Surcharge
Cardholder surcharge starts at $5 per withdrawal. Your representative confirms the rate for your date.
Deposit & transaction minimum
Most events include a performance deposit tied to a minimum of 100 completed transactions per ATM for the whole event — one day or multi-day. Example: five ATMs means 500 transactions. Clear that floor and the deposit is returned; miss it and Emerald keeps the deposit. A common reference is $2,500 for a five-ATM event — your rep confirms the amount for your booking.
Prior ATM volume helps
If you’ve run ATMs at this event (or a similar one) before, bring transaction counts and vault cash-flow history from your previous provider. Strong history helps us discuss more flexible options with you on a live call.
Don’t guess from a web page — speak with a live representative so we can match the package to your attendance and vendor mix.
Affiliate network
Events outside our crew radius still get covered.
When Emerald can’t staff a market directly, vetted local affiliates — with proven processing history and real fleets — deliver the same zero-downtime standard.
