Your Bounce House and Party Inflatables Rental questions, answered
Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.
How much is a bounce house rental?
A bounce house rental costs$30 and $50 per hour or $140 to $280 per day, depending on the bounce house size and duration of the rental. Some bounce house rental companies charge per hour, and others charge per day.
Most bounce houses include delivery, setup, and pickup in their estimates. However, you will be responsible for any electricity or water the bounce house uses during the rental time.
Are bounce houses clean?
Inflatable bounce houses are typically cleaned and sanitized before each usage. Rental companies know children and young families use their equipment and work hard to make sure they're safe. If party guests leave confetti, food, silly string, stains, or other waste in the bounce house, you may be charged a $50 to $300 cleaning fee.
Where can I set up a bounce house?
You can set up a bounce house at a private home, public park, or other reserved space. Most companies prefer to set up on a soft surface like grass instead of concrete or gravel because the rental is less likely to be damaged or punctured. Always make sure you have permission to host an event in your preferred space before booking a rental.
How many hours are included in a bounce house rental?
Bounce house rental companies usually rent out their equipment for 4 to 8 hours. Most event companies won't rent out a bounce house to you for less than two hours because of how long it takes to set it up, deliver it, and pick it up.
If you need to keep the bounce house for longer than expected, expect to be charged an hourly fee between $25 to $80per extra hour.

We don't have anything but positive things to say about Kiss the Hands! We had Shenae as our wedding planner, but her communication from the beginning was top notch. She was available for texts, phone calls, and emails whenever we had questions, and she would always respond promptly. In addition, whenever we needed vendor recommendations, she was able to help us with stellar recommendations, from our florist to the DJ, and even the string lights and table linens. We can't thank Shenae enough for helping our big day go so smoothly. Most of all, we appreciate that her team was professional, kept to the time schedule, and stayed calm no matter what issues came up. It was easily one of the best decisions we could have made to help us through the wedding planing process. We will be sad that the wedding is over, but we are so happy that we gain a friendship in return! Thanks again kiss the hands! We couldn't have done it without you!
