Setup requirements
A level, clear setup area and power within reach keep delivery day simple.

- Access: Gates need to be about 4 feet wide minimum, depending on the unit. Stairs or steps may be possible depending on unit size and number of steps, with approval required.

- Surfaces: Dirt, grass, concrete and asphalt all work if the area is flat; we anchor with stakes or sandbags.
- Sizing: Standard units need about 15x17 ft, minis about 12x14 ft, our smallest water slides need about 15 ft wide by 28 ft long, and entry-level obstacle courses need about 15 ft wide by 36 ft long.

Frequently asked questions
How do I book a bounce house rental?
Booking takes four steps: browse and choose, get a quote, we confirm, then we deliver, set up and pick up. Brian's San Diego Jumpers confirms availability, pricing and details by call, text or email. No payment is due at quote time, and payment is due upon delivery.
What should my setup area look like?
Your setup area must be level and clear of rocks, sticks and debris, and the walkway to it must be clear too. Brian's San Diego Jumpers also needs power within 50 feet, or a generator. Mention any stairs, steep paths or narrow access when you book.
Is there a cleaning fee?
Yes, excessively dirty units may carry a $65 to $200 cleaning fee. No food, drinks or candy are allowed inside the inflatable. Brian's San Diego Jumpers cleans, sanitizes and inspects every unit before it heads to your event, so keeping treats outside helps avoid any fee.
Is there a delivery fee?
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, which runs $45 to $150. Text your ZIP to Brian's San Diego Jumpers for an exact price before you book your San Diego County party.
Are your bounce houses cleaned between rentals?
Yes, every unit is cleaned, sanitized and inspected before every rental. Brian's San Diego Jumpers does this before each inflatable heads to your event, so it arrives ready for kids to play. Help keep it clean by keeping food, drinks and candy outside the inflatable.
Ready to book the best party of the year?
Same-day quotes. Delivery, setup and pickup included in our core service area. Text or call — we're a real family, not a call center.
Plan your party
What should I double-check before finalizing my order?
Check that the quote lists the unit you chose, the event location and any extras. Review the payment and cancellation terms before confirming. If your setup photos or venue instructions change, tell us before delivery so we are not working from an outdated layout.
