Questions To Ask Before Hiring a Jumping Castle

If you have made the decision to hire a jumping castle for your kid’s birthday party, then you’ve made a wise decision. Jumping castles provide hours of entertainment and fun for kids of all ages, and this is a necessity, especially at a kids party.

There are numerous companies providing jumping castle hire in Brisbane, so before you book one for your party, it pays to ask a few questions. This will ensure your decision over which provider to go with is as wise as your initial decision to include jumping castle hire in your kid’s party.

So, continue reading this article to discover what questions you need answering before hiring a jumping castle in Brisbane.

Is there a cancellation policy?

The first question to ask before confirming the hire of any jumping castle is whether there is a cancellation policy in place. Plans change, kids get sick, and the weather isn’t always our friend, so you’ll want to know where you stand if you do need to cancel a booking.

At The Fun Team, we offer a credit voucher for cancellations with at least 7-days notice or as a result of bad weather.

Is a deposit required?

The second question to ask before hiring a jumping castle is if a deposit is required. In most cases, the jumping castle provider will require a deposit of some form to confirm a booking.

Here at the Fun Team, we request a 50% deposit which is payable upfront to secure a hire.

Is the jumping castle suitable for all ages?

Before hiring a jumping castle, ask about the permitted ages of children. Jumping castles vary in regards to which ages they are suitable for.

At The Fun Team, we have some designs which are suitable for children up to 8 years of age, while others are 12 or 16.

What does the hire cost include?

Another question to ask before hiring a jumping castle is whether the advertised price is all-inclusive, meaning it includes the delivery, set-up and collection of the jumping castle, or if there are extra fees involved. If you would like a supervisor, you will need to ask for the hire costs as this is generally not included in the hire price.

At The Fun Team, our advertised prices include delivery, installation and pick up of the castle. We have supervisors available for $30 per hour ($40 per hour on Sunday).

Can a jumping castle be set up at my party location?

The final question to ask before hiring a jumping castle is whether your party location or venue is suitable for a jumping castle. You’ll want to find out two things here; is the location covered in the standard hire price (i.e. it’s within the providers’ service area) and is it suitable in terms of terrane and space.

At The Fun Team, we service the entire Brisbane region and providing you have at least 5 square meters of flat ground space, your location will be suitable for one of our jumping castles.
