At Gator Jump of Louisville, KY we do our best to accommodate our customers when dealing with unforeseen weather and/or emergency conditions. We rely on local weather to receive updates on weather conditions in and around our area. We ask that all customers do their part and stay informed of weather conditions in the area during your rental period. Safety is our #1 concern. As such, we reserve the right to cancel any rental due to rain, high winds, or other weather-related issues.

If the weather is forecasted to be unfavorable on the day of your event and you would like to reschedule, please contact our office at least 24 hours before your event, and we will issue a Rain Check, valid for 365 days from the booking date. Due to our business's nature and to keep our prices competitive, no raincheck will be issued if the inflatable is delivered, regardless of the total time used.

Warning: It is unsafe to operate inflatables if there is lightning, thunder, or winds above 20 MPH. In bad weather, please follow all safety protocols, discontinue use and deflate the unit by unplugging the blower until conditions improve.

If we have a lot of rentals that day, we may need to set up several hours before your event. You will receive a phone call or automated text message a day or two before your event date. During this call, we will go over any questions that you might have and give you a delivery window so you can plan your schedule.

No. Gator Jump cleans and disinfects every Bounce House Rental after every rental.

All of our inflatable rental items are properly cleaned and disinfected before and after each use. We take sanitization serious at Gator Jump! We do one final sanitization check during your inflatable delivery.

We of course also soak, disinfect and scrub all of our concession machines after every use, which is not only important from a food safety perspective, but also ensures that your guests enjoy the fluffiest possible snow cones, cotton candy and popcorn.

Most of our standard bounce houses are 15'x15', which is slightly bigger than many companies rent. Please note the space required for each jump (listed near the large picture) as some are VERY big and require extra space. When in doubt, measure your area to make sure it will fit. Bounce houses need room to be staked, and they need room for the blower and can't rub against walls or trees as this may damage the jump. The sizes listed with each jump include the space needed for stakes etc. If you have stairs or a tiered backyard, please call our office to discuss options for setup.

Check the requirements listed with each jump. Also, make sure you have at least a 4 feet of access to the area where it will be set up. The jumps can weigh up to 650 pounds so we need a clear path with ample room.

Setup area must be a grass surface, with no rocks, sticks, animal waste, or other objects, and the ability to drive 18" to 36" anchoring stakes around the perimeter of the inflatable unit(s); in certain instances, setup on concrete/asphalt surfaces or indoors may be permitted for an additional charge (given more cumbersome anchoring procedures) and only with the Company's advance written approval.

There can be no overhead risks, such as power lines or tree branches. No unmarked underground lines, including, but not limited to, irrigation, electrical, gas, or cable TV. Renter is strongly encouraged to contact Kentucky 811 (by dialing 811) to confirm there are no unmarked underground lines in or near the setup area, as 18" to 36" stakes may be driven into the ground to secure the Equipment. Any damage to, or resulting from, unmarked underground lines are the responsibility of the Renter.

Sufficient available amperage from GFCI protected electrical outlets is available within 50' of the proposed setup location.

We can set up on Grass (our favorite and best for the kids), asphalt, and concrete for an additional fee. Sorry, we can't set up on any type of rocks as the constant rubbing will wear through the vinyl jumps.

Yes. There is a link in your receipt once you've ordered or you may contact our office.

Damage includes, but is not limited to, cutting or tearing of vinyl or netting, damage due to overturning, overloading, exceeding posted inflatable capacities or negligence (i.e. not turning off the blower in high winds.) As a renter, you will be responsible for all damages up to and including replacement of the unit/blower etc which can cost thousands of dollars. You will assume all responsibility for the rented items during the entire rental period, including overnight rentals, if applicable. In the event of theft, damage, or loss the renter will be responsible for the full replacement cost of the Equipment.
