Typical cities inside each delivery area. Not a promise for every address, and parks, apartments, and HOAs still have their own rules. You confirm the address on the booking site.
Often, yes. Rain does not ruin a bounce house, and the blower is made for outdoor use. It is not a shelter, though. Rain comes through the windows and up through the seams. Warm light rain can still be a party. A cold downpour is a comfort call. If there is no thunder and the wind is under 15 mph, you can usually wait until the driver arrives.
Sustained wind of 15 mph or more. A bounce house acts like a sail. Get the kids off, then turn the blower off. Open fields with nothing to block the wind are a poor setup spot.
Austin Bounce House Rentals does not require a deposit. If you prepaid an Austin rental and cancel under their policy, the amount stays as credit on your account. It is not a cash refund. This guide does not publish a Michigan deposit rule. Ask Michigan Bounce House Rentals when you book.
Usually, no. The blower has to stay plugged in or the unit deflates, so book a generator for a park. At a house, Austin needs an outdoor outlet within about 100 feet, and Michigan within about 75 feet. Park spots are first come, first served.
There is no magic number of weeks on this guide. Popular Saturdays go first, so call the company that serves your city and ask what is still open. On the day itself, delivery is usually 30 minutes to 3 hours before the party starts, and busy days can be earlier. Setup time is not taken out of play time.
