Do you deliver to my area?

We are based in Escondido, Ca. and deliver to local areas of North County such as Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, Carlsbad, Oceanside, De Mar, Encinitas, RB, Poway. For other areas you can ask us and we will let you know.

Do you deliver to parks?

What access do you need to deliver?

Our drivers use trucks and may use a trailer to deliver the equipment. Please let us know if there are any issues being able to drive into your driveway with our trailer. IF YOUR DRIVEWAY IS LONG AND NARROW AND WE HAVE TO BACK UP A LONG DISTANCE INTO YOUR DRIVEWAY TO REACH YOUR RESIDENCE, WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT... (BEFORE WE ARRIVE). Bounce houses are up to 300 lbs. We do not go up and down stairs.                                                    

What about our sprinkler lines?

We are not responsible if we puncture a sprinkler line. For safety, all inflatables will be staked into the ground to secure it and prevent movement. This is for safety. The stakes we use are 12 inch to 18 inch long stakes. Customers should be advised where their sprinkler lines & main lines are under the grass and let us know if these will be in the way. We can use sand bags if needed.

What space do I need for the bounce house?

A: We need at least 2-3 feet around the jumper for safety, set up and removal. The size

of the jumpers are listed. Jumpers come in Small (11‘x11’), Medium (13‘x13’), Large (15‘x15’).  As an example, a Large jumper (15‘x15’) will need a clean and clear area of 20‘x20’.

Small Jumper :    11x11 - we need a minimum clear space of 15 ft x 17 ft

Do you have a Cancellation Policy?

What is your policy for rain?

We do not cancel reservations unless we determine it will be unsafe for the kids or our equipment. We will usually wait until the night before or the morning of to cancel. If we cancel your event, you will not be charged anything. We deliver many jobs indoors and outdoors. If customers want to cancel a reservation, please refer to our cancellation policy.

How long is the rental for?

For residential parties, typical party is about 4-5 hrs. Maximum rental time is up to 5 hours or before sunset. We do not leave jumpers overnight to pick up the next day because the get soaking wet and dirty and if it's in your yard, we can't rent it out the next day. We also do not pick up jumpers in the dark.

Do you charge for delivery?

Yes. Prices listed do not include delivery. With gas prices soaring and employee wages what they are... yes we charge for delivery. We have to pay delivery drivers for their work, and their fuel to deliver and to pick up. Keep in mind we travel 2 times to your location. Once to drop off and another to pick up.

What time will you deliver and pick up?

House Rentals:

We will deliver before your party starts. You will receive a text message the night before to give you an "estimate time of delivery".

The "Start Time" on your order is the time you tell us your party starts, it is not the delivery time.

Delivery could be any time after 9am up to 45 minutes before the "Start Time”.

Pick up will be at the "End Time" on your order, or shortly thereafter.

*** After the bounce house is delivered, we can not change pick up times. Therefore customers can not request later pick up, or next day pick up after the jumper is delivered. We have already created drivers schedules and can not change it.

Park Rentals:

Delivery to parks will be within 15 - 30 minutes before the “Start Time”.

Pick up at parks will be at the “End Time” or shortly thereafter.

Customer must remain on site until we arrive.

Do you rent overnight?

Typically, no we do not leave inflatables overnight as they get soaking wet in the overnight dew. Also if it's in your yard, we can not rent it out the next day.

Can I tip the driver?

Yes! As in most service related industry, tips are very much appreciated by our workers.

What surface do I need for a jumper rental?

We set up on grass, concrete, asphalt, brick pavers, wood decks.

We DO NOT set up on dirt, dirt and weeds, rocks, sand, bark chips, etc... Grass is defined as an irrigated lawn that is watered, and mowed. Questionable areas - you may take a picture and send to us to let us see.

Are they safe and are they clean?

Our company provides safe and clean jumpers.  All of the jumpers have steps on the entrance and safety instructions are printed on the outside.  We clean and sanitize our jumpers after each use with a hypo-allergenic disenfectant. If it was rented the day before, we clean it up on the site prior to use. We take pride in our equipment and keeping them clean is essential.

How many kids can be in a jumper?

SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES while your guests use the jumper, particularly small children. 

Compatible size and weight riders only. Can not mix small kids and full size adults. Bigger kids can fall on smaller ones and cause injuries.

Safety instructions are printed on each inflatable. Customers are responsible to read all safety instructions and provide appropriate supervision following all rules.

What do I need to do to prepare for delivery?

Clear a path for the delivery driver. Clean the area we are going to set up. If you have dogs, please clean up after them. Please have an extension cord plugged in and set out for our driver to plug the fan into. Turn off the sprinklers the night before so the grass is not wet.

Do you go up or down stairs?

No. We do not take inflatables up and down stairs. If we arrive and find we have to go up and down stairways, the job might be cancelled and if so, cancellation fees will incur. If you only have some small steps, you need to discuss this when you put in the order.

How can I pay for the rental?

For residential parties or parties at parks, we accept CASH ONLY at time of delivery. For businesses, churches, and other organizations, other forms of payment can be arranged with advance notice. We DO NOT accept personal checks, credit cards, Venmo, or Zelle for payment. Cash only means cash only.

We do require a credit card to confirm the reservation. If for any reason we need to charge a credit card, there will be an 8% fee added.
