The rentals
Each piece has one price per party day, shown on its product page and in the cart. A bounce house today is $300 to $800; a kids chair starts at $10. The cost guide prices four sample parties item by item.
Delivery, setup and pickup: one fee
Delivery is priced by one-way driving distance from our Oakland warehouse: $120 within 20 miles of our Oakland warehouse, then $8 a mile up to 40 miles, $10 a mile up to 60, $12 a mile up to 80 and $15 a mile beyond that. That one fee covers the crew bringing everything, setting it up and coming back to collect it; the return trips are never charged again.
| One-way distance | Delivery, setup & pickup |
|---|---|
| Up to 20 miles | $120 |
| 30 miles | $200 |
| 40 miles | $280 |
| 50 miles | $380 |
| 60 miles | $480 |
| 80 miles | $720 |
| 100 miles | $1,020 |

Stairs and slopes
If the crew has to carry pieces up stairs or a slope to reach your spot, checkout adds one set charge for each. Pick the nearest match when you book.
| Access | Charge |
|---|---|
| Stairs: 1–10 stairs | $25 |
| Stairs: 11–20 stairs | $40 |
| Stairs: 21–50 stairs | $60 |
| Stairs: 51–100 stairs | $85 |
| Stairs: 100+ stairs | $110 |
| Slope: mild slope / gentle incline | $25 |
| Slope: moderate slope | $40 |
| Slope: steep slope | $60 |
| Slope: very steep | $85 |
Claw machines, plushie machines and embroidery machines need flat or mild-slope access with no stairs, so we cannot deliver them where there are stairs or a steeper slope.
Delivery and pickup times
- One-hour arrival windows for delivery and pickup are included, starting any hour from 6:00am to 8:00pm.
- Exact-time option. If the crew must arrive at a set time, add it at checkout for $100.
- Pickup. Same-day pickup is standard, and next-day pickup costs nothing extra. Parks and venues are same-day only.
Damage waiver
The damage waiver is optional, at 7% of the rental value (not of delivery or other fees). It covers accidental nicks and scratches, not intentional or major damage.
Tax and payment
Tax is added at checkout. A 50% deposit reserves your date and the rest is due 7 days before the party; how booking works has the details.
Picking up tables and chairs yourself
If your order is only tables and chairs, you can collect it from our Oakland warehouse and skip the delivery fee: pick up on Friday and bring it back on Sunday, between 9:00am and 6:00pm. A damage deposit is taken on customer pickups. Any other item on the order makes it delivery only.
