Q: How does the rental process work and is there a deposit required?
Once you call to reserve a rental, one of our representatives will take your delivery and contact information along with the rentals you would like to have. This information will be sent back to you via your email address or just confirmed over the phone if you don't have one. The reservation you made will be placed in the scheduling book.
To CONFIRM YOUR RESERVATION A $50 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED TO HOLD THE RENTALS FOR YOU.
This can be sent via mail to:
Bounce Alot Party & Music RentalsInc.

Selkirk, N.Y. 12158
If the request to rent a ride is a week or less other arrangements can be made on the phone during the reservation request.
Q: What paperwork is involved?
On our website you will find our documentation that comes with the rental which includes a (1) Lease Agreement, (2) Hold Harmless Agreement and (3) Safety Rules. These are standard documents used in the industry. Please call if you have any questions.
Q: What about rain or high winds?
We all want the party or event to go on if possible. All of the bounce rides have covered roofs. If it's just a chance of showers and it's not raining at your event site, we will still deliver and set up. If for some reason the day is a total washout, (BOOOO), you can reschedule for a later date in the season or we will happily refund your deposit, your choice. Once the rentals are set up there will not be any refunds given.
Q: How far in advance do I need to reserve?
We suggest 2-4 weeks before your scheduled party date for our standard bounce rides. We are always happy to try to accommodate last minute bookings. Remember weekends are the busiest time.
Q: What if Im outside the red delivery area?
If you are "way out there" (concerning delivery that is
.) past the RED Circle, we will make every attempt to supply you with a ride if you want one. We may have to add a small delivery charge on to the stated price list for Zones 3.
Q: Do you set up in parks?
You may have to contact the park authority to determine the requirements needed to set up a jump in your area. You may call us for details. You may also need to rent a generator to power the unit. We can rent one to you or you may bring your own.
Q: How much room do I need?
The standard size of our bounce ride is approximately 15ft x 15ft and fits comfortably on most back yard lawns or two car driveways. It needs a space of 17ft x 17ft with an overhead clearance of 20ft. The surface needs to be free of debris (rocks, sticks, sharp objects or any animal waste).
Q: How much room do you need to bring the bounce ride in?
A standard walk through gate of about 36" is fine. We bring the unit rolled up and wheel it in on a standard hand truck (dolly).
Q: What type of surface do you need to set up on?
We can set up on lawns, dry grass, concrete or asphalt. Under no circumstances can we set up on dirt, rocky or muddy surfaces.
Q: Can you set up on my driveway?
Yes. If you have a two-car width driveway, most likely a bounce ride will fit. A very slight slope is not a problem, however, the flatter the surface the better. Since we can't pound stakes into your driveway, we will have to find alternative means at your location to secure the unit such as bringing in sand bags that we provide.
Q: Does the blower need electricity? How much does it use?
Yes. We will bring up to a 100-foot extension cord with us, so you'll need a standard 110v outlet near the set up area. A Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) should be used. If you don't have one available we bring them also. The blower runs continuously and uses approximately 14 cents of electricity per hour. If you don't have electricity available, we have generators available for rent too or you can provide one of your own.
Q: How long does it take to set up?
Set up usually takes approximately 30 minutes, providing there are no obstacles on the surface where the unit will be operating.
Q: Do you deliver on holidays?
Yes. Two to four weeks advanced notice is requested but as always if we can do it on short notice we will. Your satisfaction is important to us and we like to see the kids' happy faces too!
