Ideally you should book it as soon as you’re ready to make a decision.

You will be asked to sign and return these when you come to pick up a rental Jumping Castle.

19. Are Your Jumping Castles clean?
Yes! We do our best to keep our equipment as clean as possible. Dirty, unkempt units reflect poorly on us as a company, and on you as the person in charge of providing entertainment for your party/event. We take our job and your concerns seriously, which means keeping our jumping castles sanitized, clean and in excellent working order. All of our Jumping Castles and equipment are meticulously cleaned and serviced after each rental. We want you to be comfortable in knowing that you are providing your family and guests with fresh and hygienic rental products.

20. What do I need to supply for my Jumping Castle rental?

21. What type of surface can a Jumping Castle be set up on?
The area should be reasonably a flat level, clean and clear of any sticks, stones, toys, or animal faeces. Grass is the best surface for our Jumping Castles. Types of surfaces that are not suitable are stony or rocky surfaces.

22. How much room do I need to set up a Jumping Castle?
The inflated sizes of all Jumping Castles are listed under our price list.

23. What if it rains? What happens if it starts raining during my rental?
If the weather is looking rainy or windy on the day of your event, either we will be in touch with you or you can call us to see our opinion of the weather. If we deem the weather to be inadequate to safely operate our equipment we reserve the right to refuse renting the inflatable (for outdoor rentals). The vinyl on our equipment will get very slippery when it is subjected to water. Should you pick up the Jumping Castle for your event, and the weather turns bad during your rental period, the rental charge will not be refunded or discounted. If it starts raining or gets too windy during your rental time you must immediately discontinue use of the equipment for safety reasons.

24. How long is the rental period for my residential rental?
The rental period for residential rentals with customer pick up/drop off is 8 hours. We also offer a half day option for residential rentals, depending on the customer’s needs. Please note that, your rental period may increase or decrease slightly with our delivery option.

25. How long is the rental period for a Public/Commercial rental?
We offer two different rental options for our public/commercial use rentals. Our half day option includes a 4-hour rental period. Our full day option includes a 6-hour rental period.

26. How long does it take to setup and take down the jumping castle? Is it hard to do?
Most of our inflatables take 2-5 minutes to fully inflate, and they are VERY easy to set up. Our staff will explain how to set up/deflate your inflatable at the pickup time. We are available by phone the entire day of your rental if you have any questions.

27. What if I can’t get the jumping castle back into the bag it came in?
No problem. Once you return your jumping castle we inflate it, and inspect it. There’s no need to spend time trying to fold the inflatable perfectly as Umoja Jumping Castles will be inflating it as soon as it is returned.

Definitely! Our Jumping Castles are perfect entertainment for any kind of function held indoors as long as there is sufficient space. Please view the details of the Jumping Castle you are interested in to get space requirements.

29. Will jumping castles and accessories fit in a car or do I need a truck?
