Vehicle Wrap Pricing Guide 2026: What a Wrap Actually Costs

Updated for 2026 with current vehicle wrap pricing for cars, trucks, vans, and box trucks in the Quad Cities.

Thinking about wrapping your car, truck, van, or fleet — and just want a straight answer on price? Here it is.

In 2026, a full vehicle wrap typically runs $3,300 to $7,900 depending on the vehicle, and a partial wrap lands between $1,500 and $4,450. Simple logos and lettering start around $250. Where your project falls in those ranges comes down to three things: how big the vehicle is, how much of it you’re covering, and how complex the design and finish are.

At Riverbend Signworks in Davenport, we’ve been wrapping vehicles for businesses and individuals across the Quad Cities — Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, and Rock Island — for years. Below is our current 2026 pricing so you can budget with real numbers before you ever pick up the phone.

2026 Vehicle Wrap Pricing

These are current starting ranges for professional installation. Every vehicle is a little different, so we give you an exact quote after we see it — but this table gets you in the ballpark.

Vehicle	Logos / Small Graphics	Med–Large Graphics or Decals	Partial Wrap	Full Wrap	Window Perf
Cars	$250	$500–840	$1,700–2,400	$3,300–3,800	$265–290
SUVs	$250	$500–840	$2,100–2,900	$3,575–4,800	$270–350
Pickup Trucks	$250	$500–840	$1,700–2,550	$3,300–4,700	$210–310
Vans	$250	$500–840	$2,200–3,100	$3,990–5,600	$275–605
Box Trucks	$250	$500–840	$3,150–4,450	$5,060–7,900	—
Trailers	$250	$500–840	$1,500–4,200	Varies by size	—

Pricing includes professional-grade cast vinyl and installation. Design work is quoted separately based on complexity. Prices current as of 2026 and subject to change.

What Changes Your Price

Two identical-looking trucks can land at very different prices. Here’s what moves the number:

Vehicle size and type. More surface area means more material and more labor. A compact car is the low end; a box truck or extended van is the high end.
How much you’re covering. This is the biggest lever. Logos and lettering are the cheapest way in, decals and partial wraps cover key panels, and a full wrap covers the entire vehicle for maximum impact.
Material and finish. Standard gloss is the baseline. Specialty finishes — matte, satin, textured, or color-change films — cost more. Perforated window film (“window perf”) lets you wrap glass while keeping visibility from inside.
Design complexity. A clean logo-and-phone-number layout is straightforward. Full-coverage custom artwork with precise alignment across panels takes more design and install time.
Vehicle condition. Vinyl bonds to clean, smooth, undamaged surfaces. Rust, dents, or aftermarket parts can add prep time.

The Types of Vehicle Graphics Explained

Not sure which option you actually need? Here’s the quick version — and you can see examples of each on our vehicle graphics pages:

Logos & lettering — Your business name, logo, and phone number. The most affordable way to turn a vehicle into advertising.
Decals & spot graphics — Larger printed pieces on doors, panels, or the tailgate. A step up from lettering without wrapping the whole vehicle.
Partial wrap — Vinyl across select sections of the vehicle. Big visual impact for a fraction of a full wrap’s cost.
Full wrap — Complete coverage. Your vehicle becomes a moving billboard, and the factory paint stays protected underneath.
Window perf — Perforated film for rear and side windows. Your graphics show on the outside; you still see out from the inside.

Is a Vehicle Wrap Worth It?

For a business, a wrap is one of the lowest cost-per-impression forms of advertising there is. A wrapped van or box truck working your normal routes gets seen thousands of times a month around the Quad Cities — you pay once, and it advertises for the life of the wrap (typically 5–7 years with quality vinyl and care – sometimes longer if kept away from harsh weather extremes).

For fleets, the math gets even better. Consistent branding across multiple vehicles builds recognition fast, and per-vehicle costs come down at volume. If you run more than one vehicle, ask us about fleet pricing.

And unlike a custom paint job — which can run $5,000–$10,000 and is permanent — a wrap protects your original paint and can be removed or updated when your branding changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to wrap a car?

A full car wrap in 2026 typically runs $3,300–$3,800. Partial wraps start around $1,700, and simple logos or lettering start at $250.

How much does it cost to wrap a truck or van?

Full wraps on pickup trucks run $3,300–$4,700 and vans run $3,990–$5,600, depending on size. Box trucks, with their large flat panels, run $5,060–$7,900.

How long does a vehicle wrap last?

A professionally installed wrap typically lasts 5–7 years with proper care — hand washing and avoiding harsh automated car washes helps it last.

Should I get a partial wrap or a full wrap?

A partial wrap gives you strong visibility at a lower cost and is a great fit for tighter budgets. A full wrap delivers maximum impact and fully protects your factory paint. We can walk you through the trade-off for your goals.
