Inflatable Rental

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Ask your rental company if they are insured? What type of insurance is it? Rental companies with prices that are to good to be true, many times are operating without a business license or insurance. They will say they have insurance but they could be referring to their automobile or health insurance. Be specific when asking your questions. You want to make sure the children using the inflatable will be covered if there is a structural malfunction with the inflatable. Malfunctions are rare but as with all amusement, devises there are inherent risks. If a rental company cannot service a public park or school, they do not have insurance. Do you want your children using equipment from a rental company that does not have your child's well being in mind?

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Inflatables are used outside just as playground equipment is. Keep that in mind when you rent. Unless you get a brand new one signs of wear will show. Ask your delivery person to wipe down the mat inside. Your delivery person should do it automatically but to be safe tell them too. Many times rentals are turned around from one day to the next. When this happens the rental company does not have time to do a heavy clean on the inflatable. Your delivery person should have cleaning products with them.
Inspect your unit upon delivery. If there is a problem with it do not sign the paper work. The delivery person will have to fix the problem or let their office know. Once you have signed the paper work you accepted the equipment as is.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. Do you have a business license? May I see a copy of your liability insurance? Do you charge sales tax? If the answer to any of those three questions are no hang up and call another company.
