What moves the price
- Size of the bouncy castle — a larger castle costs more to buy, takes more hands to set up and fills more of the van.
- Duration of the hire — keeping the bouncy castle for a full day or overnight costs more than an afternoon slot.
- Delivery distance — the bouncy castle has to be driven out and collected again, so a venue further away adds to the hire.
- Type of inflatable — a combo with a slide or an obstacle course costs more than a plain bouncy castle.
- Access to the garden or venue — carrying a heavy bouncy castle through a house or up steps takes extra people and time.
- Setup complexity — an indoor setup, hard ground or a slope needs extra mats, weights or anchoring for the inflatable.
