Party rental questions, answered

Book 3 to 4 weeks ahead for a park party. Brian's San Diego Jumpers recommends that lead time so you can get your city or county park permit and lock in the unit you want. Weekends and holidays fill first across San Diego County, so earlier is always better for popular dates.

Yes, we accept last-minute rentals based on availability. Brian's San Diego Jumpers will check what is open for your date and confirm by call, text or email. For the best selection, especially on weekends and holidays in San Diego County, we still recommend booking in advance whenever you can.

To book, we need your name, event address, setup surface, delivery and pickup times, and the items you want. It also helps to mention any stairs, steep paths or narrow access at your setup area. Brian's San Diego Jumpers uses these details to confirm availability, pricing and the right unit for your space.

Every unit listing on our site shows the setup space it needs. Compare that size with your yard, and make sure the area is level and clear of rocks, sticks and debris. If you are unsure, send Brian's San Diego Jumpers your yard dimensions and we will recommend a unit that fits.

Call our office line for day-of support. Brian's San Diego Jumpers keeps the line available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM on weekends, matching our standard rental hours. You can also text the same number, (619) 208-0855, if anything comes up during your party.

Yes, Brian's San Diego Jumpers can hold your selected inflatable for up to 3 days while you get park approval. That gives you time to apply for a permit without losing the unit to another booking. Tell us when you request a quote and we will note the hold on your date.

That's fine. Tell Brian's San Diego Jumpers your best estimate and the age range of the kids attending, and we will recommend a unit size that fits comfortably. You can confirm exact numbers closer to the date, since availability and pricing are based on the unit and date, not the headcount.

Usually yes, based on availability. Call or text Brian's San Diego Jumpers if you want to add, swap or remove items from your order. The sooner you reach out, the more options we have, especially for weekend and holiday dates across San Diego County.

A standard bounce house needs about 15 by 17 feet, and a mini unit needs about 12 by 14 feet. Brian's San Diego Jumpers lists the exact setup space on every unit, including combos, slides and obstacle courses, which need more room. Measure a level, clear area before you book.

We serve most of San Diego County. Delivery, setup and pickup are included with inflatable rentals in our core service area. Farther ZIP codes or extras only orders may have a delivery fee. Text your ZIP to Brian's San Diego Jumpers for an exact price before you book.

Yes. Brian's San Diego Jumpers delivers, sets up, anchors and picks up every inflatable rental. Delivery, setup and pickup are included with inflatable rentals in our core service area. Farther ZIP codes or extras only orders may have a delivery fee. Text your ZIP for an exact price.

Standard residential rental hours are 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Brian's San Diego Jumpers schedules delivery and pickup within that window for most San Diego County parties. Tell us your preferred drop-off and pickup times when you request a quote, and we will confirm them with you.

Usually yes, with at least 1 hour of notice and based on availability. Brian's San Diego Jumpers will do our best to adjust your pickup time on the day of the event. Next-day pickup may also be available for a fee, so ask us when you call or text.

Yes, we can set up on dirt. Brian's San Diego Jumpers anchors inflatables on dirt with ground stakes, the same way we do on grass. The area must be level and clear of rocks, sticks and debris, and the walkway to the setup spot must be clear as well.

Yes, we can set up on concrete or asphalt as long as the surface is flat. Brian's San Diego Jumpers uses sandbags instead of stakes on hard surfaces like driveways and patios. Let us know your setup surface when you book so our crew brings the right anchoring.

You need a gate or entrance at least about 4 feet wide, depending on the unit. Measure your narrowest access point before booking and tell Brian's San Diego Jumpers about any tight spots. Our mini bounce houses fit through most standard side gates if your access is narrow.

Possibly. Setups with stairs or steps depend on the unit size and need our approval before booking. Tell Brian's San Diego Jumpers about any stairs, steep paths or narrow access when you request a quote, and we will confirm whether your chosen unit can safely reach the spot.

Our entry-level obstacle courses need about 15 feet wide by 36 feet long. The 30ft Backyard Obstacle Course fits that footprint, while the 70ft Monster Obstacle Course needs about 78 by 25 feet. Brian's San Diego Jumpers lists the exact setup size on every course we rent.

Add a generator rental. Brian's San Diego Jumpers rents a 3500W gasoline generator for $78 per day, or $75 with cash or Zelle, with any inflatable rental. It includes enough fuel for at least 6 hours, which covers most backyard and park parties in San Diego County.

Yes, the blower must stay plugged in for the entire time the inflatable is in use. The blower keeps air moving so the unit stays firm. If power is not available at your setup spot, Brian's San Diego Jumpers can add a generator rental to your order.

Keep the outlet within 50 feet of the setup area. Brian's San Diego Jumpers provides one 50-foot extension cord free with your rental. If the nearest outlet is farther than that, add a generator for $78 per day, or $75 with cash or Zelle, instead of running extra cords.

A 20-amp circuit is recommended for our inflatables, and a 15-amp circuit may work. If you are unsure what your outlet supports, ask Brian's San Diego Jumpers before your event. With no outlet nearby, you can add a generator rental for $78 per day, or $75 with cash or Zelle.

Every generator rental includes enough fuel for at least 6 hours of run time. Brian's San Diego Jumpers fills the 3500W gasoline generator before delivery, which covers most backyard and park parties in San Diego County. If your event runs longer, bring extra fuel or ask us about extending your rental.

No, our water units do not recycle water. Water flows continuously from your garden hose while the slide is running. Brian's San Diego Jumpers brings the fittings, and you only need a hose water source and a nearby power outlet at your San Diego County setup.

Not all of them. Only water-compatible units can be used wet, and they may carry an additional fee. Brian's San Diego Jumpers offers wet-compatible combos, such as our 5-in-1 combos, plus dedicated water slides. Ask us which units can be used with water before your party.

Water units need power, space and a hose water source. A standard garden hose reaches every Brian's San Diego Jumpers water slide, and we bring the fittings. Check the setup size on each listing, and add a generator if there is no outlet near your setup area.

We drain the water at pickup. Brian's San Diego Jumpers handles draining and takedown of the inflatable when we come back for it. You do not need to empty the slide or splash pool yourself; just keep the area clear for our crew at pickup time.

Our smallest water slide needs about 15 feet wide by 28 feet long. Taller slides need more room, so Brian's San Diego Jumpers lists the setup size for each one. You also need a hose water source and a nearby outlet, or a generator rental, at your setup area.

Residential bounce house rentals start at $145 per day. Park rentals with a generator start at $220. Brian's San Diego Jumpers lists card and cash prices on every unit, and delivery, setup and pickup are included with inflatable rentals in our core service area of San Diego County.

Payment is due upon delivery and setup. Brian's San Diego Jumpers does not collect payment at quote time. Once our crew has delivered and set up your rental, you can pay with cash, Zelle, Venmo, a major credit card or an approved business check.

We accept cash, Zelle, Venmo, all major credit cards and approved business checks. Many Brian's San Diego Jumpers units show a lower cash or Zelle price next to the card price, so you can see both options before you book your San Diego County party.

No deposit is needed for most rentals. Certain items, such as the mechanical bull, require a deposit to reserve your date. Brian's San Diego Jumpers will tell you during your quote if anything on your order needs a deposit, and payment for the rest is due upon delivery.

A delivery fee may apply depending on your distance from our core service area, ranging from $45 to $150. Brian's San Diego Jumpers includes delivery, setup and pickup with inflatable rentals close to our shop. Text your ZIP code and we will tell you the exact delivery fee, if any, before you book.

Yes, a cleaning fee of $65 to $200 applies to units returned excessively dirty. Brian's San Diego Jumpers thoroughly cleans and sanitizes every inflatable before each rental, and we ask renters to keep food, drinks and candy out of the unit so it comes back in good shape for the next family.

Yes, you can cancel or reschedule for weather up to 2 hours before delivery with no penalty. Brian's San Diego Jumpers wants every party in San Diego County to be safe, so if rain or wind is in the forecast, call or text us and we will help you choose a new date.

Yes, you can cancel without a charge with at least 36 hours' notice. Brian's San Diego Jumpers asks for that notice so we can offer the date to another family. Weather cancellations follow a separate rule and are honored up to 2 hours before delivery.

Yes. Brian's San Diego Jumpers is licensed and insured, and we provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) on request for park permit applications. Requirements can differ by city across San Diego County, so contact us with your location and we will confirm the details you need for your event.

We secure every inflatable with ground stakes or sandbags, depending on the surface. Brian's San Diego Jumpers uses stakes on grass and dirt and sandbags on flat concrete or asphalt. Our crew handles all anchoring during setup, so the unit stays in place for your whole party.

No, we cannot set up inflatables under trees. Safety and insurance restrictions require open space above every unit. When you pick your spot, choose a level area that is clear of branches, rocks, sticks and debris, and Brian's San Diego Jumpers will confirm it works for your rental.

Yes, inflatables can be set up near a pool with proper clearance, which varies by unit. Brian's San Diego Jumpers will review your yard layout and recommend a safe placement. Share your space measurements and pool location when you request a quote so we can confirm the right unit.

Food, drinks and candy are never allowed inside the inflatable. Brian's San Diego Jumpers enforces this rule to keep units clean and safe, since spills and sticky messes create slip hazards and can leave stains that lead to a cleaning fee. Keep snacks and drinks outside the unit and your party will run smoothly.

Yes, adults are allowed in our jumpers. Brian's San Diego Jumpers rents commercial-grade inflatables built to accommodate both kids and adults, so grown-ups can join the fun too. Tell us about your group when you request a quote, and we will help you pick a unit that suits everyone.

Yes, a permit is typically required for inflatables at most city and county parks. Chula Vista, National City, Lemon Grove, La Mesa and Santee all require one, while El Cajon does not currently require a formal permit. Brian's San Diego Jumpers lists permit links on our How It Works page and provides a COI on request for your application.

Yes, a generator is required at most public parks. Most San Diego city and county parks do not have outlets near the setup area. Brian's San Diego Jumpers rents a 3500W generator for $78 per day, or $75 with cash or Zelle, with enough fuel for at least 6 hours.

Apply for a permit through your local city or county recreation department. Brian's San Diego Jumpers links to permit pages for San Diego, Chula Vista, El Cajon, La Mesa and National City on our How It Works page. We recommend booking 3 to 4 weeks ahead to allow time for your application and city approval.

City of San Diego Parks and Recreation is (619) 235-1169, National City is (619) 336-4210, Chula Vista is (619) 409-5892, El Cajon is (619) 441-1516, and La Mesa is (619) 667-1300. Brian's San Diego Jumpers lists these on our How It Works page, and we provide a Certificate of Insurance on request for your application to any agency across San Diego County.

You get a minimum of 6 hours at the park, guaranteed from when the generator starts. Brian's San Diego Jumpers times your park rental from generator start, not from when the truck arrives. Tell us your party schedule when you book so we can plan delivery around it.

Usually not. Most city and county parks in San Diego County do not allow water units, though some HOA or private parks do. Check with your park before booking a water slide, and Brian's San Diego Jumpers can suggest a dry slide or combo for public parks.

Some parks do have size restrictions. Rules vary by park authority across San Diego County, so check with your local park before you choose a large unit. Brian's San Diego Jumpers lists the setup size on every inflatable, which makes it easy to compare against your park's limits.

Most cities do require permits. Permit rules are set by each municipality, so check with your city before your party. Chula Vista, National City, Lemon Grove, La Mesa and Santee all require a park permit for inflatables, while El Cajon allows them without one. Brian's San Diego Jumpers can provide a COI on request for any San Diego County park.

No, not every park allows inflatables. Confirm with your specific park in advance, ideally before you reserve a unit. Once your park approves, Brian's San Diego Jumpers can provide a Certificate of Insurance on request for your permit and deliver with a generator.

The mechanical bull is for teens and adults. Younger kids may ride with parental approval and supervision. Brian's San Diego Jumpers always sends a trained operator who stays on the controls at all times, which makes the bull a hit at corporate events, graduations and Western parties.

No, the mechanical bull is not currently offered for city or county park bookings. Brian's San Diego Jumpers sets up the bull on private property and approved venues across San Diego County, such as backyards, patios, golf courses and event spaces.

The minimum mechanical bull rental is 3 hours. Brian's San Diego Jumpers offers a promotional rate of $450 cash or $468 by credit card for any 3-hour booking between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Additional hours are $125 per hour if you want the bull to stay longer.

Yes, a deposit is required to reserve the mechanical bull, payable by credit card, Zelle or Venmo. Canceling 14 or more days out gets a full refund within 2 to 5 business days, and inside 14 days the deposit is forfeited. Rain or high wind cancellations are fully refunded regardless of notice.

Every mechanical bull rental includes a trained operator, a soft inflatable landing area, delivery, professional setup and teardown. Brian's San Diego Jumpers handles everything from arrival to breakdown, so you just enjoy the ride. A generator is available for $78 per day, or $75 with cash or Zelle, if your venue has no power.

Coverage for the mechanical bull varies by location. Contact Brian's San Diego Jumpers with your venue address and we will confirm coverage before you book. We also recommend liability waivers for schools, churches, businesses and private hosts, and we provide waiver templates.

The mechanical bull has a fiberglass base with padded components for rider safety. Brian's San Diego Jumpers sets it inside a soft inflatable landing system, so riders land on a cushioned surface when they fall off. A trained operator stays on the controls the entire time.

The mechanical bull has safety systems that reduce risk, but riding always carries some inherent risk. Riders participate at their own discretion, and a Ride-At-Your-Own-Risk notice is posted at the attraction. Brian's San Diego Jumpers provides a soft landing area and a trained operator at all times.

No, only one rider can be on the mechanical bull at a time. Guests take turns, which makes the bull a fun spectator event at birthday parties, company picnics and fairs. Brian's San Diego Jumpers keeps a trained operator on the controls for every ride.

Yes, late-night mechanical bull rentals are available after 9:00 PM for an additional fee. Events outside our standard 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM hours may include a $100 after-hours fee. Contact Brian's San Diego Jumpers with your event time, and we will confirm availability and pricing.

The mechanical bull needs a flat area of at least 18 by 18 feet. You also need a gate or entrance at least 4 feet wide and no stairs or steep access. Brian's San Diego Jumpers will confirm your space and access during your quote call before the booking is final.

The mechanical bull needs two separate 120V, 20-amp outlets, or a generator. Brian's San Diego Jumpers confirms your power setup on the quote call. If your venue cannot supply two separate circuits, add a generator so the bull and its landing area can run for your whole event.

The mechanical bull typically arrives about 1 hour before your scheduled start time. That gives the Brian's San Diego Jumpers crew time to set up the bull, inflate the landing area and get everything ready before guests ride. Please make sure the setup area is clear when we arrive.

Yes, a trained operator is always included with the mechanical bull. Brian's San Diego Jumpers never drops off the bull without one. The operator stays on the controls for the full event, which is why the bull works well for corporate events, school functions and church festivals.

We bring the mechanical bull across San Diego County and surrounding areas. Brian's San Diego Jumpers sets it up on private property and approved venues, not city or county parks. Contact us with your event location, and we will confirm availability, timing and any delivery details.

The mechanical bull is secured with proper anchoring or weighted systems, depending on the surface. Brian's San Diego Jumpers chooses the right method for backyards, patios, parking lots or venue floors. Our crew handles all of it during setup, so you never need to supply anchors yourself.

No, tables and chairs are delivered and picked up only, without on-site setup. Brian's San Diego Jumpers drops them off with your order so you can arrange them the way you like. Canopies are different: setup and teardown are included with every canopy rental.

Yes, custom banners cost an additional $10. Several Brian's San Diego Jumpers bounce houses and combos accept banners, so you can match your child's favorite theme. Ask about banner options when you request a quote, and we will confirm which units on your list can take one.

Yes, we offer toddler-specific units for ages 5 and under. Brian's San Diego Jumpers rents 3D toddler jumpers with tunnels, bridges, mini slides and a single way in and out. They are $230 per day and work well for parties with little ones across San Diego County.

Yes, tables, chairs, canopies and other extras can go on the same delivery as your inflatable for one trip and one price. Brian's San Diego Jumpers combines everything into a single calendar day whenever possible. Extras ordered alone instead have a $250 minimum and may carry their own delivery fee.
