The Best Prices for Online Tuxedo Rental: NationalTuxedoRentals.com
In every price range, National Tuxedo Rentals offers the lowest prices, whether or not you include the cost of a shoe upgrade. Tux ship comes in close on pricing, but it’s not a match – and their tuxedo selection only offers about half the number of styles that we do. In all other cases, our prices beat the competition quite significantly.

Analysis: Our shipping prices are not the absolute best, but they are low and fair. Shipping costs are significant, and we feel that charging a low, fair price for shipping allows us to keep the costs of our products low. However, our delivery policy of getting your tux to you 7-10 days before your event is best in class.

National Tuxedo Rentals | None | No Late Fees | None | None |
The Black Tux | $20-$60 Depends on Rush Severity | 25% of rental per day | $5 | |

National Tuxedo Rentals is the most consumer friendly when it comes to service fees, deposits and charges: we don’t have any! We believe in making money by providing our customers quality products and service that they’ll love and use again – not by charging them at every opportunity.

We used several pages on TuxShip.com, but it appears that their web server is configured in a way that prevents us linking you directly to those pages. We can copy and paste the URL’s here, but it seems they will only work from our computer – as they are tied to a session. Don’t quote us on the exact technology they use, but all we know is that links we copy from their site do not work on any other computer than the one that was used to get the links. However, the only source we used for gathering information about tuxship, its products, and policies was their website: http://tuxship.com/ – and you are free to verify this information for yourself.
