FAQs

How do I reserve my rental items?
- In order to reserve, you need to either walk-in or call-in and make a reservation. Your driver’s licence number is required for your customer ID in our system and we also require to have a current credit card on file as well as current address and current phone number.
Who is responsible for dirty, damaged, lost, or stolen items?
- The client is responsible for items that they have rented. (See Policies> Liability)
What if I find an item missing or broken?
- If an item is broken upon receiving the inventory, DO NOT throw it away. If you return the pieces, it will let us know that they are not stolen or lost and the damage waiver, if applicable, will be used and no extra charges will be applied to you. However, if an item comes up missing while in your possession, the damage waiver cannot be used and you will be charged the cost of the missing item.
What is your cancellation policy?
- After making a reservation, the client will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee if a reservation is cancelled on party rental items a 100% cancellation fee will be applied to ALL inflatables, inflatable games, and games if the reservation is cancelled. (See Policies> Cancellation)
How does the pricing work?

How and when do I pay?
- In order to make a reservation, we require a 50% deposit on your rental, unless it is an inflatable or game, and then we ask for a 100% deposit. These deposits are non transferable and non refundable. Also, the balance is due two weeks prior to the event, so if you were to make a reservation two weeks or less before your event, we would require a payment in full to make the reservation.
When should I make my reservation?
- As soon as possible. Our rental items are on a first come, first serve basis and until we have you in our system with payment, we cannot hold any items for you.
What about changes in my order?
- You may make changes in your order, but keep in mind that we have a 50% cancellation fee, and if you cancel more than half your order, we reserve the right to charge you half the amount of those items, as we have held them for you so other customers could not reserve those items.
When should I pick up and return my order?
