For complete details, please review our Rental Agreement.

How much is the deposit?

Every booking is reserved with a $50 deposit. We accept cash and all major debit and credit cards to make the booking process quick and convenient.

For larger events involving multiple units or special accommodations, we recommend contacting us directly. These events may have different terms, and our team will work with you to ensure everything is coordinated smoothly.

No matter the size of your event, our goal is to provide a stress-free and hassle-free booking experience from start to finish.

Are your inflatables safe and clean?

Absolutely. Safety and cleanliness are top priorities at Elevation Inflatables. Every unit is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each rental and regularly inspected to ensure everything is in excellent condition.

During setup, our team reviews important safety guidelines to help ensure proper use so you can enjoy your event with confidence.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak seasons like summer, weekends, and holidays such as the 4th of July. Last-minute availability is never guaranteed, but you’re welcome to contact us to check.

What types of events are your inflatables perfect for?

Our inflatables are great for a wide variety of events, including:

  • Birthday parties
  • School and church events
  • Corporate functions
  • Festivals and fundraisers
  • Family gatherings and reunions
What are the requirements for setting up an inflatable?

To safely set up an inflatable, we require:

  • A reasonably level area (grass or hard surface)
  • Space free of sharp objects or debris
  • A standard electrical outlet within 100 feet
  • For water units: access to a water source and hose connection (25-foot hose provided)

If you’re unsure about your setup space, just let us know — we’re happy to help.

Can you set up on concrete or asphalt, or only grass?

We can set up on grass, concrete, or asphalt. When installing on hard surfaces, we use appropriate anchoring methods to ensure safety and stability. Please let us know your surface type when booking.

Are delivery, setup, and takedown included in the price?

Setup and takedown are included in your rental price.
Delivery is not included and is charged separately at $3 per mile (one way) based on distance from our location. This helps keep rental prices fair while covering transportation costs.

Are you insured?

Yes. Elevation Inflatables is fully insured, providing peace of mind for birthdays, school events, church functions, and community gatherings.

What happens if high winds or lightning occur?

For safety reasons, inflatables cannot be operated during high winds or lightning. If unsafe conditions occur, we may pause use, deflate, or remove the inflatable. In these cases, we will work with you to reschedule or issue a rain check, based on availability.

What are the age and weight limits for each inflatable?

The majority of our inflatables have age and weight limit guidelines clearly posted near the entrance of each unit. These limits follow manufacturer safety standards and indicate the recommended number of participants for safe use. Our team will review proper use during setup and help you choose the best inflatable for your group.

What safety rules should users follow?

For everyone’s safety, please follow these rules:

  • No shoes, glasses, or sharp objects
  • No food, drinks, gum, or candy inside the unit
  • No flipping, wrestling, or rough play
  • One rider at a time on slides unless designed for multiple users
  • Always slide feet-first
  • Adult supervision is required at all times
  • Follow all instructions provided during setup
Do you provide generators if there is no power available?

Yes, generators are available for rent if a power source is not accessible. Please let us know when booking so we can ensure the proper equipment is provided.

What happens if the inflatable gets damaged?

We offer an optional, non-refundable Damage Waiver for 10% of the rental fee. It covers accidental damage from normal use up to $500, wear up to $1,000, and wind or storm damage up to $2,000. The Damage Waiver is not insurance and does not cover misuse, prohibited substances, or food/drink contamination.

Customers will have the option to review the Damage Waiver details and add it during the booking process.

How much does a rental cost in Jacksonville, NC?

Bounce houses start at $175, water slides at $250 and obstacle courses at $250. Our tallest and longest water slides, Purple Thunder Falls and Tropical Tsunami with Slip and Slide, run $500–$550. Prices don’t include tax or delivery, which is $3 per mile (one way). A $50 deposit holds your date, and each rental page shows its exact price.

Do you offer overnight or weekend rentals?

Yes. Along with our standard rental, we offer overnight and weekend rentals at set prices. You’ll see the options when you pick your date, or you can contact us and we’ll help.

Can I have a bounce house at a park?

It depends on the park. City of Jacksonville parks don’t allow inflatables. Onslow County parks and parks in other towns do, but check with the park first about permits and rules.

Do you deliver on Camp Lejeune or base housing?

Yes. We have our own base access, so we deliver to Camp Lejeune and base housing just like anywhere else. Just book with your address as usual.

What are your delivery and pickup times?

We typically deliver between 7 AM and 1 PM and pick up between 4 and 10 PM. Times can shift a little with the season. Overnight rentals are usually picked up around 8 AM, though morning drop-offs come first, so it may be a bit later.

What do water slides need?

A flat, level area free of sticks and debris, a standard outlet within 100 feet, and a water source with a hose hookup. We provide at least a 25-foot hose. If you need more length, that’s up to you, though we carry extra hoses just in case at no charge.

Your satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do at Elevation Inflatables. We’ve built our business on reliability, professionalism, and delivering exactly what we promise. That commitment is what sets us apart from other party rental companies — and why so many of our customers choose us again and again. When you book with us, you can relax knowing we’ll handle the delivery and setup, so you can focus on enjoying your event.
