Are You Insured?
Great Question, because not all companies that rent inflatable are,
but YES, Super Fun Inflatables is fully insured with a 1 million dollar
liability insurance policy. Furthermore all of our company vehicles
are insured and every delivery crew member is covered under our workers
comp. policy. That’s important because many inflatable companies
hire “independent contractors” to deliver and setup their
equipment. These independent contractors often do not carry workers
comp. insurance. Be aware that should any delivery man get injured on
your property while delivering or picking up the equipment you have
rented and they are not covered by worker comp. insurance, YOU could
be liable for their medical expenses and lost wages. All inflatables
companies are NOT created equal. Ask in depth questions about ALL of
the insurance they claim to carry when considering any company for your
inflatable needs. A copy of our insurance binder is always available
to you upon request. A service charge may apply to those wishing to
be named as an additional insured on our policy. Any such fee is due
and payable once the certificate is requested whether or not the rental
ever occurs.
How Many People Will The Inflatable Hold?
Each piece is different. In general terms each or our standard size
bouncers are designed to safely accommodate up to 8 young children at
one time. Older kids may use our bouncers as well, however, the limit
goes down as the age and size go up. Our Extra Large Fun House bouncer
can accommodate up to 12 young children at a one time and is great for
large parties and school or church functions. It is always recommended
that you group the participants by age and size. Our Adventure Play
pieces can accommodate 8-10 children at a time with a weight limit of
100lbs. per person maximum. Our 18’ Super Slide is one at a time
down, but up to 4 people can be waiting in the stairway. The Slip &
Slides has two lanes so two people can both go at once. Our Interactive
inflatables are all different and difficult to list here, but call us
and we’ll be happy to discuss them with you. Each of our inflatables
has a set of manufactures rules printed on it, when in doubt refer to
those rules printed on each inflatable.
What If The Inflatable Gets Damaged?
Our inflatables are very durable and will hold up well under normal
use. The customer however, is responsible for any damage to the Inflatable
caused by but not limited to; overloading or allowing individuals in
excess of weight limits on or in the inflatable, silly string, face
paint, gum, food or drink, dirt, shoes, or punctures caused by sharp
objects such as jewelry, buttons with pins, etc… Damage charges
will be based upon the cost to repair plus any lost business. In addition
if any inflatable, not designated for wet use, it found wet at pick
up time (for other than weather related causes) the customer will be
charged for set up, drying and re-rolling expenses at a rate of $20.00
per hour. These additional charges will be automatically charged to
your credit card as part of the balance due.
What Is Your Rain / Bad Weather Policy?
We understand that weather can change quickly, and since we do not claim
to be able to predict the weather or have any control over weather,
we utilize the following NO HASSLE Weather Policy: During periods of
severe weather conditions (i.e. rain, high winds, etc.), for safety
reason we reserve the right to cancel your reservations. On the day
of your rental, if weather conditions are not predicted to be adverse,
we may give you the option of accepting delivery or not. If the rental
is ultimately cancelled, we prefer that you reschedule. If rescheduling
is not possible, we will, in this case, refund your deposit. On the
other hand, if we agree to deliver and decide to accept delivery, there
will be no refunds or credits issued regardless of how long you were
able to use the inflatable! Please NOTE: If the inflatable gets wet
everyone must exit until the rain stops and the unit is dried. THE
INFLATABLE MUST NOT BE USED WHEN WET or WHEN WINDS ARE 20 MPH OR MORE
or exceed the manufactures guidelines. Once wet, inflatables
becomes very slippery and dangerous. Once the rain stops you can dry
the unit with towels. Once dry the inflatable should be again safe to
use.
Do You Offer Any Discounts?
Yes. Our weekday (Monday –Thursdays – holidays excluded)
prices are deeply discounted from our regular weekend rates. If you
only want an inflatable for a short period of time, we also offer a
discounted 2 hour rate on most pieces on weekends as well. Furthermore,
if you are planning a large event where multiple items are needed we
can work with you on special pricing for those types of events as well.
Please call for details. While we try to keep our pricing competitive
and fair at all times, we will not “low ball” or try to
always be the least expensive out there. We believe our pricing, our
clean and high quality equipment, and our professional service will
always represent your overall best value.
How Do I Make A Reservation and How Far In Advance Do I Need
To Make One?
Reservations are currently only accepted via telephone because we must
get specific information regarding your event, times, and location.
At the time that your reservation is placed, you will need to place
a $100 deposit per item with cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover
Card. If you wish to cancel your reservation (up to seven days prior
to your rental date) you must notify us - in writing - and you will
be removed from the schedule and your full deposit refunded. Cancellations
less than 7 days prior to your rental date will result in a forfeiture
of all deposits paid. Please call early for best availability. We can't
stress this enough. Many times people will plan their entire party three
months ahead of time and then try to reserve an inflatable two weeks
before! During the spring, summer, and fall months items book quickly.
The best thing to do is to figure out your date, and call us to find
out what's available. Then, contact your guests after you have your
desired piece reserved. Our courteous reservation staff can discuss
various dates and times with you. By calling early, as early as possible,
you increase the likelihood of getting the item(s) that you want.
Do You Require A Deposit and What Is Your Payment Policy?
Yes a $100.00 deposit is required in order to secure a rental date.
A valid credit card number (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover) is REQUIRED
to rent an inflatable and may be used as security in the event that
any inflatable is damaged beyond reasonable wear and tear during the
rental period. You may reserve a date by phone with a valid credit card
or make a reservation in person at our office using cash or a check.
A signed rental agreement must also be returned within 7 days of your
rental deposit receipt. The balance due must be paid prior to set-up
of your rental date. Super Fun Inflatables accepts cash, checks or credit
cards (VISA, MASTERCARD or DISCOVER) for payment.
What Is Your Cancellation Policy?
If it becomes necessary to cancel your rental you may do so without
penalty provided you provide us with a minimum of 7 days advance notice.
If you cancel with less than 7 days advance notice your rental deposit
will be forfeited. THIS DOES NOT apply to cancellations due to severe
weather.
What Is Your Safety Policy?
Each item that you rent from Super Fun Inflatables comes with a set
of printed operational guidelines and safety rules. These printed guidelines
and safety rules will accompany the rental agreement that you must sign.
Please read all these guidelines and safety rules and familiarize yourself
with them. If you have any questions or if you do not receive these
guidelines and rules please call our office and we will provide them.
Return the signed rental agreement but KEEP the operational guidelines
and safety rules a reference for your rental. Our delivery crew will
review these guidelines and safety rules with you again at the time
of set up. Ultimately you are responsible for the safety of all those
using our equipment while it is in your possession.
General Safety Rules & Operational Guidelines
We take safety very seriously. You should
too. Persons not following the safety rules should be immediately instructed
to exit the inflatable.
How Far Away From The Electrical Outlet Can You Set Up?
100 feet is the maximum distance allowable between the inflatable and
the source of electrical power. Here’s why: We carry LOTS of extension
cords on our trucks and are often asked: why can’t you just run
more cord? Simply stated: the longer the distance the greater the loss
of power. Even with the heavy duty commercial grade extension cords
we use, the voltage drop over 100 feet is significant. The fan motor
which keeps the inflatable inflated requires a set amount of voltage
at all times. When excessive amount of cords are run, the voltage drops
causing the fan motor to run slower and hotter. This can result in 1)
tripped circuit breakers and/or fire 2) fan motor failure 3) slow fan
motor speed and inadequate inflation. In cases where the set up location
is more than 100 feet away we will require the use of a portable electric
generator. Super Fun Inflatables rents generators for $95/day, however,
they are not routinely carried on our delivery trucks and must be reserved
in advance.
How Much Electricity Does The Inflatable Use?
Our inflatables use very little electricity. Generally each inflatable
has one blower (fan) which runs continuously and keeps the unit inflated.
Each blower draws approximately 6 to 12 amps when running. A standard
110 volt 3 prong grounded outlet located within 100 feet is required
for operation. It is best that the outlet (or circuit that the outlet
is located on) not be shared with any other equipment. If you are renting
multiple inflatables, then we strongly suggest that you identify and
make sure that additional separate circuits are available within the
100 feet limit. Super Fun Inflatables does rent portable electric generators
if conditions require, however, they are not routinely carried on our
delivery trucks and must be reserved in advance.
How Much Room Do I Need?
All the dimensions of each of our inflatables are listed on our web
site page which features that specific piece. Please add approximately
two feet to each measurement to provide proper clearance of fences,
buildings, wires, over-hanging trees, etc. Other important considerations
are: 1) that the area is fairly level, for safety reasons we do not
set up on hill 2) an electrical outlet must be within 100 feet 3) any
sprinkler heads and/or irrigation lines should be clearly identified.
We don’t want to damage your sprinkler system when anchoring down
our inflatable.
Do I Need A Perfectly Flat Area?
The area for your inflatable set up does not need to be perfectly level:
however, a reasonably flat area is desirable. Generally, no more than
an 8 inch slope per 10 feet would be considered reasonable. For safety
reasons inflatables can never be set up on a hill. Also please note
the follows as they pertain to the delivery location: 1) We can we push
our inflatables up steep hills and or multiple sets of steps to get
to the set up or pick up location. If your location has multiple sets
of steps, or a steep or large hill, we may refuse delivery unless you
provide the extra man power to traverse the hill or steps both at set
up and at pick up. It is your responsibility to inform us of any steps,
steep inclines or hills at the time the reservation is made. 2) We will
not allow our delivery crew to set up in any location that is not listed
on your rental agreement or any location that the crew deems unsafe
for your rental or the physical safety of the delivery crew and equipment.
3) We will not allow the delivery crew to set up at any location that
illegal activity is witnessed whether or not you are the person conducting
the illegal activity.
If there is a question we may be able to arrange for a site survey of
your location. Sight surveys can only be done if a Super Fun Inflatable
staff member is in your area, and are strictly done at our convenience.
Will The Inflatable Harm My Lawn?
Super Fun Inflatables cannot guarantee that the use of an inflatable
will not have an affect on your lawn. Due to the weight of the piece
and depending on the length of time the inflatable is in use and weather
conditions that day, flattened grass is common but not permanent. During
the heat of the summer, it is not uncommon to see burned blades of grass
a few days after the inflatable has been removed. The grass typically
recovers within a week.
Can An Inflatable Be Set Up On My Driveway?
For safety reasons, Inflatables should always be set up on a grassy
area. Occasionally, a customer cannot fit the desired piece due to yard
configuration or size. If we can not fit the Inflatable anywhere else
but in your paved driveway, that may be acceptable. Driveway set up
is always a last option, and is always at the discretion of Super Fun
Inflatables. If you suspect that you may or will need to set up on any
surface other than grass, please let us know ahead of time so that we
can bring along our sand bag anchoring system. If we are not informed
ahead of time we will most likely not be prepared for pavement set up.
Our giant slides and water slides require grass set up. 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.
Can An Inflatable Be Set Up Near My Pool?
No. All inflatables must be set up a safe distance away from a pool
or waterfront. Furthermore, unless the inflatable has been designated
safe for wet use, such as our water slides, you must make every effort
to keep the inflatable dry at all times. At no time should water balloons,
hoses, squirt guns, etc be allowed anywhere near the inflatable. If
any inflatable, not designated for wet use, it found wet at pick up
time (for other that weather related causes) you will be charged for
set up, drying and re-rolling expenses at a rate of $20.00 per hour.
These additional charges will be automatically charged to your credit
card as part of the balance due.
Can You Set Up Inflatables Inside?
Yes, our units can be set up inside PROVIDED there is sufficient room.
For inside set ups you will need to have enough ceiling height to accommodate
the unit with ample clearance space from any lights, vents or any other
hazards that may be present. Some units are 18 ft. high. Generally garages,
basements, family/rec. rooms in residential dwellings do not accommodate
the height or overall size of our units. Many commercial halls, school
gyms, park & rec. facilities, church halls, town meeting rooms,
etc. will do just fine however. You, the customer are responsible to
ensure the inflatable will fit. If the unit does not fit once we arrive
payment is still due in full.
How Do I Prepare For My Rental?
You can avoid set-up delays and potential problems by checking the following
before we arrive:
Preparation Checklist
- Please have the driveway clear of cars and other obstacles when we
get there.
- Please be sure that someone is present at the time of delivery.
- Make sure a clear path of at least 3 feet wide is available for delivery
to the set up spot.
- If curbs, steps or stairs need to be negotiated, we may require the
renter's assistance for delivery.
- Select an open lawn area with enough clearance from tree branches
and other obstructions.
- If you are not renting a portable electric generator the source of
electrical power must be NO MORE THAN 100 FEET AWAY.
- The set up site should be relatively level, usually no more than an
8 inch slope per 10 feet. We will not set up the
Inflatable under or near any electrical or telephone wires. Also, the
inflatable cannot be placed near a swimming pool or any body of water.
- We use 12" ground stakes to secure our inflatables. Please make
sure there are no underground irrigation pipes
and/or buried telephone cables or electric lines close to the perimeter
of the set up site. The customer is responsible to mark all sprinkler
lines and call safe to dig if required by law. Super Fun Inflatables
will not be liable for damage to underground sprinklers or utility lines.
- Clear the site of all sharp sticks, animal waste, large rocks and
other large debris. If animal waste must be removed, please cover the
spot to protect our equipment from any residue.
- On hard surfaces like driveways or parking lots, please sweep or use
a leaf blower to clean the area.
Super Fun Inflatables reserves the right to refuse rental if we deem
the area to be unsafe, an excessive distance away, inaccessible, likely
to damage or soil our equipment, or put our delivery crew at risk.
Is Delivery And Set Up Included In The Price?
Delivery, setup/pickup is FREE to many towns that are in a close proximity
to our warehouse location. Those towns that require additional travel
time to get there do have a delivery fee in addition to the rental fee.
Please check the delivery fee section of our web site for specific information
on delivery charges. If a delivery fee is charged for your area, it
is only one flat fee regardless of the number of items that you are
having delivered that day. All delivery fees are waived for rental packages
over $1,500. Please check the delivery
fee section of our web site for specific information on delivery
charges.
What Time Will The Delivery Crew Arrive To Set Up My Equipment?
What Time Will They Pick It Up?
We may arrive as early as 7am and as late as 15-20 minutes before your
rental start time and be considered on time. 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 crew sets up or how late they take the unit down. Someone
legally responsible must be at the address to accept delivery, pay any
balance due, and show us where to set up the equipment. If our crew
arrives, and no one is there, they will not set up your inflatable.
Please be advised that our crews are on a schedule and must leave to
continue their route. We must strictly enforce this policy so we are
able to reach all customers by the contracted time. Typically, we will
call you the day before and give you an anticipated delivery window
of time, however, please understand that due to traffic conditions,
unexpected delays with earlier setups and other unanticipated events,
our delivery time is just an estimate. If we are running substantially
late we will make every effort to contact you and advise you of such.
Ultimately, you are guaranteed the minimum number of hours of fun that
you have reserved, weather providing. We will pick up the equipment
sometime after the listed end time on your rental agreement. You are
responsible for the equipment until we pick up. For all outdoor setups
we always try to arrange for pickup prior to it getting dark, so our
crew can properly inspect the equipment, and get home at a reasonable
hour themselves.
How Late Can You Pick Up The Inflatable?
We will pick up the equipment sometime as close to the listed end time
on your rental agreement as possible. Depending upon the day that may
be exactly at that time or up to several hours later. Our latest end
time varies by the season and the amount of daylight hours. We always
strive to complete pickups prior to darkness, so that: 1) our crew can
properly inspect the equipment 2) no equipment is accidentally left
behind and 3) our crew can work safely and arrive home at a reasonable
hour themselves. Ultimately you are responsible for the equipment until
we pick up.
Can I Keep The Inflatable Overnight?
No. Unless we just absolutely can not get to you at a reasonably hour
all equipment will be picked up by our crew that same day as it was
set up. Scheduling an overnight rental subjects our inflatables to dew,
moisture and mildew, excessive wear and tear, and conflicts with delivery
schedules for the following day. Although we have many requests for
this, we pride ourselves on the excellent condition of our equipment
and will not consider such requests.
Should I Tip The Delivery Crew?
Our delivery crew wants you to be totally satisfied with your Super
Fun Inflatables rental experience. They will consult with you on a proper
set up location and go over all operational guidelines and safety rules
before they leave. They will also provide you with an emergency phone
number should something unexpected occur during your rental period.
Providing a high level of customer service is part of their job. While
tips are never expected, should you feel that our crew provided you
an exceptional level of service and is deserving of a tip, they are
certainly ALWAYS APPRECIATED.
