Renting a bounce house the other day. Damn. Why didn't I think about buying one to rent out! We now want to buy one. I seen around $1500 for the typical 13' x 13' ones. Brand new I believe. I'm thinking one for now, and a few tables and chairs. Start out small and perhaps just keep it small for little quick dollars here and there. I don't feel the need to have a big business, just a simple side hussle. With only one or two only.
I wouldn't buy a regular jumper. Get one with a slide and bounce house. That can be rented wet or dry. I recommend that Ninja combo from Jump Orange. Its on sell on wayfair.com for 1400$ plus tax. That includes delivery, blower, and stakes. Its also lightweight because they use 7.oz thick material on the sidewall and stress points. The base is 15oz material.

Hey if you're from Canada can you help me ? I'm trying to get into this business as well. Like where did you buy them and how many units am i supposed to buy ? And which insurance company you use ?
@@thebouncefam hey im thinking about starting up a business for this can i see the waiver because that is my main worry is that i will start up my businesses and someone will get hurt and i will lose everything. also can i just do it with a waiver and no insurance ?
My brother and I bought some inflatables last year to rent out for this season. We have everything figured out except for one thing, we want to rent our inflatables by the day but we don't want to keep our inflatables at someones house overnight like some places do, so the question is how long would a "day" rental be? I'm thinking maybe start dropping off inflatables around 8am and start picking up the inflatables around 9pm or so. We did buy our inflatables used but the guy who sold them to us rented them out for like $80 an hour which would add up to a lot for a long party. They're simple combo units too, I was thinking like $300 for the dry combos and $350 for the wet combo because that's about the average for our area.
We drop off as early as possible in the summer because its so hott and pick up before dark. 7pm at the latest. It says 8 hour rental but sometimes they get it longer. If their party is starting late I will let them keep it overnight as long as it is in a safe location. On my website it says we charge a 50$ overnight fee but I rarely charge it. I only charge the extra 50$ if they call and say they want specific unit and I want it overnight. Then I know they have been to my site. I know they don't care about the 50$ Remember I live in a rural area too. I try to make sure I get the customer booked when I get a lead. I try not to be too rigid with my policies. If you live in an area with more people you may need to be more strict with rental times. My main advice is do what works for you best. If you do things a certain way most customers will respect that. Prices vary by area. I try to be in the middle. I don't even consider people without a website my competition. I just check prices with companies with websites and a Google my business pages.
We started with 3 combos. Looking back I wish I would have started with 2 combos and 1 water slide to be honest. You really can’t go wrong with combos though.
How do you go about travel fees and travel distance? Just started renting out, but most of our inquiries are a little over an hour distance. We are located in a rural area as well.
We do 15 miles free delivery. After that we charge per 4$ per mile. For example is a location is 20 miles from our location the price would be 20$ delivery.
Jingo Jump has some units that have good ROI. Jump Orange sells units on wayfair. I got that Ninja combo for like 1500$. It’s lightweight because they use lighter gauge material on the side walls. It’s semi commercial but the customer can’t tell the difference. Some of my units we buy with affirm. Make payments. Get one through them and you can have it rented out before your first payment is due. You can pay off early and you don’t pay interest. Or you pay by the month and rent it out. Then take they money you get from renting it out and buy another with cash. Now you got 2 you can rent and you still just paying the 200$ a month or whatever. You can also buy used on FB marketplace.
He Roderick. Yes, I would be more that happy to help. Sorry for the late reply. We got so busy this year that we quit making videos and responding to comments but I'm feeling way less burned out. Hit me up if you need some advice
How do i start? Do u need business license? Or business insurance to start this? Im From NJ. Can i just start without business license and without business insurance?
To be 100% honest, I don’t know much about the rules and regulations in that state. I’m just assuming but I think starting a business up there will definitely involve more red tape. You can find out more information on the Secretary of State website or you could ask chat gpt as well.
We do daily rental. We drop off in the morning and pick up at night. Sometimes we let the customers keep overnight. If they only want the unit a couple hours, it doesn't matter. They have to pay full price. No discount for short rental.
Curious if you’ve made that video on the insurance part, we recently purchased a bounce house but have no clue what to do now as far as insurance and waivers go. Any information would be greatly appreciated
A small one will fit in a vehicle but I recommend getting a truck and at minimum an 8 foot single axle trailer. Brand new they’re 1000$ If you’re trying to find it in a car you need to get one that is lightweight. I like our Ninja unit from Jump Orange. Only 175lbs.
Man after researching a bunch of videos on this.. I think I rather keep day trading stocks and make extra money from the confort of my home. Also sometimes I can make money in under 5 minutes and be done for the rest of the day. I just have to pay tax and that’s it. And I have the weekends off.
If you guys have any questions let me know!
What brand units did u start with? I have 1 combo and 1 regular house, needing a slide now but not sure where to buy it.
@@zXsnipehawk616Xz 2 Units from Jungle Jumps ana 1 unit from Jump Orange!
@@thebouncefam what do you mean by saying bouncy houses are taxed?
@@nickolas3750 in Texas we have to charge sales tax on inflatable rentals. Where I'm at is 8.25%.
What website do you purchase Bounce houses?
This is my 3rd year going into it. Went from a side hustle, to a full time job after accumulating 16 units now
Where did you buy the bouncy houses?
I really like how authentic you come across and raw. Much love. Going to keep watching to grow my bounce house business

Hey if you're from Canada can you help me ? I'm trying to get into this business as well. Like where did you buy them and how many units am i supposed to buy ? And which insurance company you use ?
What's a good insurance company? Also did you create your own contract/release of liability waiver or was it done by a professional?
The insurance company gave it to me and I just copy and paste to my website booking software. Inflatable office.
We use Cossio for Insurance.
i can email you mine if you want me to. Just let me know.

I’m starting I’m from Boston I already have the inflables I’m kind of stock for the certified mechanic to apply for the license
Great info! How many units did you start out with?

good luck
Don't forget your business plan. At least 1 page or 2
How do you apply for the LLC
What state are you in? You apply online with the secretary of state website for your state
great video. do you know how can I connect my website (created in wix) with inflatable office ? I'm not sure how works that
I’m not sure about that. I would talk to them. I know there template sites use wordpress.
Where did you purchase your bounce house for good prices
Jingo Jump has some units that have good ROI. Jump Orange sells units on wayfair. I got that Ninja combo for like 1500$. It’s lightweight because they use lighter gauge material on the side walls. It’s semi commercial but the customer can’t tell the difference.
Some of my units we buy with affirm. Make payments. Get one through them and you can have it rented out before your first payment is due. You can pay off early and you don’t pay interest. Or you pay by the month and rent it out. Then take they money you get from renting it out and buy another with cash. Now you got 2 you can rent and you still just paying the 200$ a month or whatever.
You can also buy used on FB marketplace.
How many bounce houses do you have now after a year?
We have 5. 2 waterslides and 3 combos.

I don’t have any complaints.

How do you guys rent it for three or four hours for day or how you guys work with the
We do daily rental. We drop off in the morning and pick up at night. Sometimes we let the customers keep overnight. If they only want the unit a couple hours, it doesn't matter. They have to pay full price. No discount for short rental.
I wonder how much the insurance cost because I would like to start the kind of business
Our insurance was a little over 2000$ for the year and we only have 4 units.
Who do you have insurance with ?
Did you guys get insurance for your bounce houses?
Yes! we do
@@thebouncefam if you don’t mind sharing. I’m looking to find some insurance
We got ours through Cossio.
@@mforward100 We have an insurance video coming in the next week or so.. Some of the things I wish I knew when we got started looking for insurance
Curious if you’ve made that video on the insurance part, we recently purchased a bounce house but have no clue what to do now as far as insurance and waivers go. Any information would be greatly appreciated
is it recommended to make an llc?
tax purpose and liability yes
Should I own some sort of truck to haul the bounce houses? Or will some fit in regular vehicle?
A small one will fit in a vehicle but I recommend getting a truck and at minimum an 8 foot single axle trailer. Brand new they’re 1000$
If you’re trying to find it in a car you need to get one that is lightweight. I like our Ninja unit from Jump Orange. Only 175lbs.

You could also lose money in under 5 minutes too! Renting bounce houses is guaranteed money and the stock market is not.
Do anyone think I could sweat more?
What u rent for $700 lol 😯
2 day rental of the with the delivery come out to 686$
