Is delivery and set up included in the price?
Due to rising fuel costs, delivery is not included in the rental fee. Set up is included, however, free of charge for any delivered inflatable. Please call for specific information and applicable delivery charges. The delivery fee is one flat fee regardless of the number of units you have being delivered that day. If you would like to save the delivery fee, many of our items can be rented as a "customer pick-up". Delivery fees are not subject to any discounts. Delivery fees may be waived for rentals packages over $1500.
What happens if it rains?
In the case of inclement weather, you may reschedule if you wish, and your full deposit will be transferred to your new date.
If you choose not to reschedule, all but a $25. processing/handeling fee will be refunded. PLEASE NOTE: refunds are only given when rental is cancelled due to inclement weather. Inclement weather constitutes: Heavy consistant rain, thunderstorm warnings, high winds, hurricanes, and heat in excess of 100 degrees. A predicted "chance of showers" , a passing shower or cloudy day does not constitute inclement weather. There are absolutely NO REFUNDS for cancellations, or changes to any existing reservation. 
Any customer cancellation several days before rental will result in immediate forfeiture of full deposit. You may reschedule at any time.

ALL CONFIRMATIONS ARE MADE 24-HRS IN ADVANCE. It is at this time that Funtastic Inflatables will cancel if neccessary, resulting in the refund of the above stated deposit amount.

We must also be able to fit you into our existing delivery schedule for the specified day. At the time that your reservation is placed, you will need to place a deposit on a M/C or Visa, and you will be added to our delivery schedule for that day.

We do offer a discount for multiple pieces rented on the same day, same location and full day hours, please call for details. Our Fun Food machines are always half price with an Inflatable rental, which increases your profit for your event. Due to insurance reasons, we are unable to offer free items to non profit agencies.

We are always willing to work to try to provide the best value for your budget.
Do I need a perfectly flat area?
The area for your Inflatable set up does not need to be perfecly level; however, a reasonably flat area is desired. Inflatables can never be set up on a hill If there is a question, we can arrange for a possible sight survey of your location, at no additional charge. Sight surveys can only be done if Funtastic Inflatables staff members are in your area, and are strictly done at our convenience. Please call for details.
Can I put an Inflatable in my driveway?
For safety reasons, Inflatables should always be set up on a grassy area. Rarely, a customer cannot fit the desired piece due to yard configutation or size. If we cannot fit the Inflatable anywhere else but in your paved driveway, that may be acceptable. Driveway set up is always a last option, and only allowed upon the authorization of Funtastic Inflatables,LLC., after a sight survey of the area has been completed (there is no charge for this service) Inflatables may NEVER, under any circumstances, be set up on beach sand, sand, dirt, or gravel driveways of any kind. Serious injury to patrons or damage to the Inflatable could occur.
What if I change my mind?
If you should change your mind about the Inflatable that you've reserved, we will do our best to accomodate any changes (hours, items, etc.) that you wish to make within three business days of when your reservation was placed. However, we cannot guarantee availability. In the event that you decide to cancel your reservation, we will refund the deposit only if the cancellation has been received in writing, within three (3) business days from when the reservation was placed. Please read our cancellation policy on our "Home" page. All other cancellations will result in immediate forfeiture of full deposit. Please remember that we are removing the item from availability when you reserve with us, so please be sure of your selection at the time that you place your reservation.
If you have reserved a "full day", and decide to change to a lesser time, you will be billed for the full day rate, as the item has already been reserved and removed from availability.
Absolutely NO Changes will be accepted after trucks have been loaded. Please call for details.
How far in advance will you set my rental up?
We require a three hour window to set up prior to your rental. Please plan to be at your event at least three hours BEFORE your contracted time. If our drivers arrive, and no one is there, they will not set up your inflatable. Please be advised that our drivers are on a schedule and must leave to continue their route. We are not responsible for "last minute errands" that you need to make. We must stricktly enforce this policy so we are able to reach all customers by the contracted time. We ALWAYS set up prior to your rental time and take down afterward so that you receive your full rental. Due to the delivery schedule on your day, you may receive extra time, at no additional charge to you. Your rental will begin and end at your contracted time, regardless of how early our driver sets up or how late he takes the unit down. Tents, tables, chairs may be set up days before as these items take longer to arrange. Set up and take down is fully decided by the needs of our staff. Drivers do not have the authority to change rental times. All change requests must be made with our office prior to rental.
Can I have an Inflatable for a late night party?
Absolutely! We strive to accomodate your scheduling needs. We rent to many overnight graduation parties, slumber parties, and events. You must have a secure, drug and alcohol free environment for an overnight rental. Overnight rentals will be billed at the full day rate, and set up during mid to late afternoon, then picked up the following day. Please call for further details
If I get more than one Inflatable, will you give me a discount?
We do offer a multiple piece discount for two or more Inflatables rented the same day and same location. Our multiple piece / package discount applies to full day, pre-paid rentals only. As always, our Fun Food and Spin Art machines are half price with an Inflatable, subject to availability and conditions. The discount that you recieve may vary according to the number of items in your package. Please call for details.
Why are the Fun Food Machines and Spin Art half price when I rent an Inflatable?
We strive to offer our customers the best equiptment and service at the best price that we can. We often find that our customers add Fun Food or Spin Art as an alternative to "goody bags" or for a fun party addition. By offering these items to you for half of what you would pay elsewhere we become the "one stop shop" for your event, without breaking your budget. It's just one more way that Funtastic Inflatables, LLC values your business!

Can I allow food, beverages, water or toys inside of an Inflatable?
No. There is absolutely no food or beverages allowed in or near the Inflatable. Water will create a mildew situation, so , other than the water slides, no water can be allowed inside of or around the inflatables(such as water guns, sprinklers, etc.). Toys should not be brought into the inflatable as they are often forgotten about and end up being discarded later on. Our staff and drivers are not responsible for items left inside of Inflatables. If it is a hot day, damp bathing suits are not a problem inside Inflatables as long as people towel dry their skin prior to entering. This prevents slipping injuries.
Do I have to put a deposit on my rental?
Yes. We require a credit card deposit for all rentals. Most items require a 50% deposit. Upon reservation, your sales representative will notify you of the required deposit amount .Your request is not considered a reservation until we have received your deposit.

If you would like to pay by personal check for your deposit, you must pay at least 3 weeks before rental. We will hold your item for 48 hours (with a credit card number) pending deposit, but if deposit is not received within 48 hours, and a cancellation notice has not been received within three business days, your credit card will be charged for the non-refundable deposit. if you wish to cancel your reservation (within three business days) you must notify us - in writing- and you will be removed from the schedule and your full deposit refunded.

When do I need to reserve?
Please call early for best availability. We can't stress this enough. Many times people will plan their entire event three months ahead of time and then try to reserve an Inflatable two weeks before!

Please keep this in mind when planning the layout for your event. We do have generators availabler for rental, if needed ($80./Day) fuel not included.
