The Business
Bounce house rental is a weekend business — most bookings are Saturday/Sunday for birthday parties, church events, and community gatherings. Average rental is $150-350 per unit per day. Delivery, setup, and pickup take 30-45 minutes per booking. With 5 units booked on a Saturday, that's $750-1,750 in a single day.
How to Start
Buy 2-3 quality bounce houses ($1,500-3,000 each) and a blower for each. Create a website with your inventory and an online booking system. Market on Facebook Marketplace and local party planning Facebook groups. Require a deposit to secure bookings and a cleaning fee for messy returns.

“Bounce house rental is beautiful because the asset earns on weekends when you're not otherwise working. One bounce house does 2–3 events per weekend for $250–$400 each. Buy 3 units for $15K and you're doing $4K weekends with minimal labor.”
