Choosing an Inflatable Bouncy House Vendor
If you think a bouncy house rental will be a suitable center function for your next celebration, you'll need to start with choosing the right company to rent from. Vendors specializing in carnival styled fun are not as hard to find nowadays as they were just two decades ago. These types of companies vary as much as any other. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a moonwalk rental.
Insurance
Inquire about insurance. This will cover liability in case of an accident where the company is at fault. In these situations, they are also responsible for erecting and tearing down the apparatus. This typically does not cover accidents for injuries while the device is under your supervision. Even though your guest may not be covered for injury, signing up with a business that has made a commitment to safety reflects that they are more likely a safe operation and that they care about the long-term success of their own business. Most states require insurance and it is at a state by state regulation.
Delivery
Ask about delivery. Like insurance, vendors that assume responsibility of transporting, erecting, and breaking down bounce houses show they care about sustaining a reputable business. There may or may not be a fee for this. Think about it this way. Moonwalks are bulky, heavy, and are a first ride to many children. If you are not trained in assembling and maintaining awkward heavy clumpy inflatable plastic pieces, is it really safe for you to try out a new skill on your guest whom simply want to have fun? Having a professional with insurance set it up will ensure peace of mind in case of an injury.
Sanitation
Ask about cleaning policies. Many businesses make money with hidden maintenance fees. They may require tenants to sanitize the moonwalks before shutting it down. A decent company will want to make sure themselves that their product is not responsible for spreading germs from one party to another, so they will come after the celebration ends while the bounce house is still erected, and sanitize it themselves. Again, it may be an expense for you, but is healthier for your guest.
Attendants
Check to see if the company offers to have an attendant stay for the duration of the party. If the fee is too high or you are uninterested in having someone extra in your loved one's party space, then make sure you read their instructions carefully and are able to supervise every moment someone is inside on using the bounce house slide.
