Common Questions from RGV Families About Inflatable Rentals
How much should I budget for a water slide rental?
Our water slide rental prices range from $215-$499 based on dimensions and features. Entry-level 17-foot options begin at just $215, while our largest unit, the 24ft Splash Park, is $499. Tax and distance-based delivery charges are additional based on your event location within the Rio Grande Valley.
Must the blower run continuously during my event?
Yes, a blower keeps air in the structure continuously while guests are playing. The slide cannot maintain shape without constant airflow. That is why we require an electrical outlet within 50ft of the setup location or a generator. We bring our own heavy-duty extension cords because longer household cords can trip your circuit breaker.
