Mechanical Bull Rental in San Diego — Operator Included
Add serious excitement to your next party or corporate event. Every mechanical bull rental includes a trained operator, a safe inflatable landing area, professional setup, and full breakdown — all you do is show up and have fun.
A mechanical bull is a ride-on attraction with a soft inflatable landing, and Brian's San Diego Jumpers rents it for $450 cash, or $468 by card, for 3 hours, with delivery, setup and teardown included across San Diego County.
It suits teens and adults at corporate events, graduations, school functions, church festivals and Western parties; younger kids may ride with parental approval and supervision. A trained operator is always included, and additional hours are $125 per hour.
The bull needs a flat area of at least 18 by 18 feet, a gate at least 4 feet wide, no stairs or steep access, and two separate 120V, 20-amp outlets or a generator. It is offered on private property and approved venues, not city or county parks. Pair it with obstacle course rentals or dry slide rentals.

What should I confirm with the venue before renting the bull?
The bull includes an operator, but the venue still needs to approve the setup. Send the available area, access route and outlet location before finalizing the event layout. Put seating outside the riding area and discuss the rental hours with us rather than treating it like an unattended bounce house.
