Rental Business. Frequently Asked Questions!

Q: Is inflatable rentals a good business to start?
A: Inflatables are becoming increasingly popular for childrens parties. More and more people rent inflatable games, because it is an affordable and fun way of entertaining a big group of kids.

Q: How soon can I get my return on investment?
A: Average rentals in most U.S. cities are from $80-250 for basic bounce houses. With an average price of a bounce house at $2000, you should get your money back in just one season.

A: To find out about competition, you will need to do a little research to find out how many companies exist in your surrounding area.

Q: Do I have to quit my job to start this renal business?
A: No. The Inflatable business is a weekend business. Most rentals are on Saturdays and Sundays, with occasional weekday requests.

Q: What about characters?
A: Cartoon characters with licensed items may be good if you are in an area with high rental rates. Please keep in mind that these characters are usually in demand for a SHORT period and you may be stuck with an unwanted bounce house after the hype for that character has died down. That is why we recommend to purchase units that are timeless and don't fade out of style.
