| How much does it cost to rent a moonbounce? |
| |
Our rentals start as low as $195 plus sales tax for the first four hours and $5 for each additional hour plus sales tax for each additional hour. |
| |
| Are your units clean? |
| |
Yes, our units are vacuumed and sanitized prior to each use. |
| |
| How large are your moonbounces? |
| |
Most of our units are 15' x 15' plus a
2' step and 3' blower tube. This makes them approx 15' x 20' overall. |
| |
| How much room do I need to set up? |
| |
Most of our units require a 20' x 20' area that is semi-level,
clear of any rocks, sticks, roots, etc that could puncture the bounce.
Also, if you have an in-ground sprinkler system, make
sure it is turned off and the sprinkler heads are not engaged. |
| |
| We live in an apartment/townhouse and
don't have a yard large enough, how can we still have a party for
our child? |
| |
It's true, many apartments/townhouses don't provide
a lot of room for a bounce. However, there are alternatives. Some
potential ideas:
- Use the common area or two parking spaces side by side.
- Use a relative's house for the party.
- For communions and other church related events, look into using
your church grounds.
- If for a birthday, combine parties with your child's friend that
has a birthday close to your child's.
- Local parks can usually be used for parties. There is generally
a small hourly fee associated with this. We have generators for rent and will be more than happy
to help you work out the details with the city or county park authority.

| |
| How does the bounce stay inflated? |
| |
The bounce is inflated with a fully enclosed blower
motor unit that must stay on the entire time the bounce unit is being
used. The design of the blower is such that no moving parts are exposed.
This is a very important safety feature that you should take into
account whenever considering a rental. The blower unit must be located
within ~75 feet of an electrical outlet. |
| |
| Can we set up the bounce on concrete or asphalt? |
| |
Yes, however for safety reasons, we prefer that
the bounce be placed on a level, grassy area. |
| |
| How do you keep the bounce from floating away? |
| |
While they are full of air, the bounces themselves
are quite heavy. However, they do need to be staked down to avoid
them "walking" around. To accomplish this we use large
sandbags at each corner when setting up on concrete or asphalt. When
setting up grassy areas, we use large stakes that are driven into
the ground. While these stakes do not go deep enough to hit utility
lines, please let us know if we will be setting up near items such
as drainage lines or sprinkler lines. |
| |
| The location that we wish to use is
not close to electrical power, I guess we can't have a bounce? |
| |
Don't let that stop you. We have generators available
for rent, including a full tank of fuel, that will power the
blowers that inflate the bounce. |
| |
| What do I do in the event
that we receive unexpected rain or high winds (>20 MPH) during
our rental? |
| |
Given the frequency of afternoon thundershowers
and storms in our area, this is a valid concern. It is important
to remember that the bounce blower is powered by electricity and
that electricity and water don't mix well. If rain is encountered,
ask everyone to quickly and calmly exit the bounce. Once it is emptied,
unplug the blower and allow the unit to deflate. DO NOT USE THE UNIT
IN HEAVY RAIN OR HIGH WINDS! Once the weather has passed, plug the
blower back in, allow the unit to inflate and have an adult dry the
interior with a towel. This is very important, as the vinyl is very
slippery when wet. Once dry, the bounce can be utilized again. |
| |
| What do we do if there is an emergency? |
| |
In the case of an emergency, have everyone exit the
bounce calmly and quickly and contact Hop On Pop's MoonBounce at 703.986.3515 ext. 2. |
| |
| Does Hop On Pop's MoonBounce have insurance? |
| |
Definitely! Due to the high cost of insurance, there
are many companies out there that choose to not carry insurance coverage.
However, at Hop On Pop's MoonBounce, we believe that this is the
most important requirement for running a moonbounce rental business.
As such, we are fully insured with a liability insurance policy covering
injury due to Hop On Pop's MoonBounce's gross negligence. This statement
in no way implies legal responsibility. Please read your rental agreement.
We are happy to provide a copy of our insurance binder upon request. |
| |
| What are my responsibilities as the
renter of the bounce? |
| |
Our contract requires that an adult be home when
the bounce is setup. We will review the features
of the bounce with this individual, as well as our safety regulations.
Additionally, we will review our emergency procedures with this individual
at the time of setup. An adult MUST accompany
the bounce anytime the bounce is inflated. This person is responsible
for the safety of the children, as well as, the care of the equipment
by making sure that ALL safety rules and regulations are followed.
Aside from safety items, it is the responsibility of the renter to
provide for electrical power within 75 feet of the bounce and a level,
open 20' x 20' area to set up on. |
| |
| Can you provide an attendant with our rental? |
| |
Absolutely! We will happily provide an attendant for
your rental to free you from having to worry about who is watching
the bounce. This must be requested at least 10 days prior to your
reservation day and there is an attendant charge of $40/hour. |
| |
| How safe are moonbounces? |
| |
As long as the safety rules are followed,
bounces are very safe. In fact, most accidents that arise from the
use of moonbounces are a direct result of the renters not following
the posted safety rules by allowing the unit to be overloaded, allowing
the unit to be used in high winds, etc. |
| |
| How do I reserve a unit? |
| |
Call or email us at 703.986.3515 or info@hoponpops.com
and we will be happy to process your reservation request.
We will then tentatively reserve your unit, fax or
email you a rental agreement and Safety Rules and Regulations agreement
for you to sign and return. Once we have received your signed documents
and your deposit, we will finalize your reservation. |
| |
| How much of a deposit is required to confirm a reservation? |
| |
While you may pay up to 100% of the rental fees up
front if you like, we require that you provide a deposit equal to
50% of the total charges or provide a credit card in order for us
to confirm the equipment for you. |
| |
| How can I pay for the unit? |
| |
Our preference is a check, but we also accept cash,
Visa, and Master Card. Payment is due in full at
the time of setup. The delivery person will provide you with a copy of the rules, review
the safety procedures with you and collect final payment prior to
setting up the unit. |
| |
| What is your delivery area? |
| |
Our primary delivery areas are the Greater Washington DC area: Northern Virginia, Washington DC and parts of Maryland. |
| |
| Do you provide special pricing to
schools, churches and other non-profit organizations? |
| |
Absolutely! Please email or call us
at 703.986.3515 for details. We would love to work with you. Please
note that a moonbounce can make a great compliment to a non-profit
fundraiser, such as a carwash or other event. While the parents are
getting the car washed, it provides some fun for the kids and also
provides instant "curb appeal" for your function. |
