What Is Included With an Inflatable Rental?
Most inflatable rentals include delivery, setup, and removal when the unit is installed on natural grass with access to a power outlet within about 75 feet.
If the setup location requires special conditions such as concrete, artificial turf, gravel, or long distances from the truck, additional setup fees may apply. These situations may require extra equipment such as tarps, sandbags, or generators.
If your event location includes stairs, narrow gates, or other obstacles, it is best to inform the rental company ahead of time so the delivery team can prepare properly.

For popular weekends and holidays, booking early is recommended since inventory fills quickly.

If you reserve over the phone, a 50 percent deposit is required to hold the equipment. The remaining balance is due before or at delivery.
Online reservations are processed as full payment at checkout.

-
Yard games
Larger inflatables such as bounce houses, obstacle courses, and water slides must be delivered and installed by our trained staff for safety reasons.
Can I See the Inflatables Before Renting?
Most inflatables are stored folded in our warehouse, so they are not available for viewing in their fully inflated form.
However, our equipment frequently appears at local festivals, school events, and community celebrations throughout the East Valley. These events provide a great opportunity to see the inflatables in action.
What Happens If It Rains?
Arizona weather is usually cooperative, but we understand that conditions can change.
If the weather forecast predicts rain or unsafe conditions before delivery, customers can reschedule their event or receive credit for a future rental date.
Once equipment has been delivered and set up, weather cancellations cannot be refunded.
Where Can Inflatables Be Set Up?
Inflatables can be installed on several types of surfaces including:
-
Grass
-
Artificial turf
-
Concrete
-
Asphalt
-
Gravel
-
Dirt
-
Indoor gym floors
Certain surfaces require special anchoring methods to ensure safe installation.
Can Inflatables Be Used Indoors?
Yes. Indoor setups are possible as long as there is enough ceiling height and floor space for the inflatable.
Schools, gyms, recreation centers, and church halls are common indoor locations for bounce houses and obstacle courses.
Is A Perfect Party Rental Insured?
Yes. A Perfect Party Rental is fully insured.
If your venue requires a Certificate of Insurance or needs to be listed as an additional insured party, the request should be submitted at least ten days before your event.
How Are Inflatables Cleaned?
Every inflatable goes through a multi step cleaning process before each rental.
This process includes:
-
Removing debris and dirt
-
Washing the surfaces
-
Sanitizing high contact areas
-
Inspecting the inflatable for safety
Clean equipment is essential for both safety and customer satisfaction.
How Long Do Rentals Last?
Standard inflatable rentals typically last about six hours.
Extended rental times can be arranged depending on availability. Some large attractions and specialty items may have different time frames.
When Will My Equipment Be Delivered?
Delivery usually occurs between 6:00 AM and about 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of the event.
For parks or timed venues, our team will coordinate a specific delivery window with the customer.
What Should I Provide for Setup?
To ensure a smooth setup process, please make sure the following are available:
-
A clear path at least four feet wide to the setup area
-
Access to a standard electrical outlet within 75 feet

A water hose if renting a water slide
Can Adults Use the Inflatables?

Is Supervision Required?
