What does a bounce house rental cost in Fort Myers?
Your bounce house rental cost depends on the unit you pick, your date, and what you add to the order. A simple backyard birthday with one bounce house is a very different quote than a church festival with a combo, a tent and tables for 100 guests. The fastest way to get your real number is a quote for your exact date and address. It takes a couple of minutes, and our team confirms everything before it’s final.
7 factors that change your bounce house rental cost
- Unit type. A standard bounce house, a toddler unit and a combo with a slide are all priced differently.
- Your date. Saturdays, holidays and school breaks in SWFL book first.
- Your location. Where you are in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres or beyond affects delivery.
- Setup conditions. Gates, tight side yards and surface type all matter, so tell us up front.
- Add-ons. Tables, chairs, tents and concessions build out the party and the total.
- Event size. A 10-kid birthday and a 200-guest school field day need very different setups.
- Bundles. Packages pull the pieces together so you don’t have to build a party item by item.
When you compare bounce house rental cost between companies, compare the whole setup, not just the bounce house. A cheap number that leaves out delivery, setup or insurance isn’t cheap on party day.
Standard, toddler and combo units: which one fits your party?
Standard bounce houses
The classic. Our bounce houses are about 15 x 13 ft, need a flat area of roughly 21 x 19 ft, and run on 1 outlet within 50 ft. Every one has a top emergency hatch. They’re perfect for mixed-age backyard birthdays.
Toddler mini combos
Built for the little ones. Our toddler mini combos are smaller, easier to fit on a patio or in a small yard, and keep toddlers away from the big kids.
Bounce house combos
A jump area plus a slide keeps older kids busy for hours. Most of our bounce house combos work wet or dry, so on a hot Florida afternoon you can turn the slide into a splash zone.
Water slides
When it’s 92 degrees in July, nothing beats a water slide. Kids cool off, burn energy and sleep great that night.
What’s included in your bounce house rental cost with Family First?
Our licensed and insured crew delivers, sets up, anchors and checks every rental, then comes back for takedown and pickup. Every unit is cleaned and sanitized between rentals. We text you delivery and pickup updates, so you’re never pacing the driveway waiting on a truck.
How to read a bounce house rental quote
Use this checklist on any quote you get:
- Which unit, and what size?
- Are delivery, setup and pickup included?
- What’s your rental window, and when is pickup?
- Are tables, chairs or a tent listed separately?
- Is the company licensed and insured?
- What happens if the weather turns?
If something’s unclear, ask. A good company answers without a sales pitch.
Bounce house safety on party day
A great party is a safe one. We set up every unit on a flat area, anchor it properly and clear the space around it. On your end, keep an adult watching the whole time, keep the little kids and big kids jumping separately, and follow the rider guidance our crew gives you. Check the National Weather Service forecast for SWFL the morning of your party. If strong wind or lightning rolls in, which is a typical SWFL summer afternoon, get everyone off the unit until it passes.
Should you rent or buy a bounce house?
A store-bought bounce house looks cheaper until you count everything else: a thin backyard model, storage space in a Florida garage, cleaning, mold, repairs and setting it up yourself every time. A commercial-grade rental shows up clean, gets set up and anchored by a pro crew, and disappears when the party’s over. For a few parties a year, the bounce house rental cost wins almost every time.
How to get the most party for your money
- Book early. The best units and Saturdays in SWFL go first.
- Match the unit to the ages. Toddlers don’t need a giant combo.
- Bundle it. Our party packages pull the bounce house, seating and extras together.
- Add shade. One of our party tents and some tables and chairs keep grandparents happy and the cake out of the sun.
