Planning a bigger event? Our flexible payment options can help you lock in your date while spreading out the cost.
See Flexible PaymentsYes — our pricing includes professional delivery, full setup, safety anchoring, and teardown within our primary service area. For locations farther out, additional delivery fees may apply. (Sales tax is not included in listed prices.)
Setup timing varies based on the day’s route, but we typically arrive about 1–3 hours before your rental start time. On very busy weekends, setup may be earlier to ensure on-time service for everyone. If early setup or next-day pickup is needed, we’ll contact you ahead of time to confirm someone will be present at the event location.
Earlier is always better — especially during peak season (spring through early fall) and around holidays and graduation weekends. The most popular inflatables and waterslides can book out quickly across Northwest Indiana, so reserving early helps lock in your first choice.

Often, yes. If you’re just outside our primary service zone, we can frequently accommodate depending on schedule, distance, and equipment size. Extended delivery fees may apply (extra mileage, additional truck, or additional labor). If you’re unsure, call or text us: 219-304-8322 or 219-921-3773.
Safety comes first. We typically begin closely monitoring conditions around 15 mph. Because every location is different (open fields vs. sheltered backyards), final decisions are made by staff based on the setup area and current conditions. If winds become unsafe, the inflatable must be cleared and powered down until conditions improve. This safety mindset applies to tent rentals as well.
We can set up on grass (preferred), dirt, asphalt, and concrete. Grass allows us to stake properly. For hard surfaces, we use approved anchoring methods to help ensure a safe setup. If you have gravel/dirt for an inflatable setup, it may require special approval—call to confirm before booking.
Each item listing shows the required space, and it’s important to measure before booking. You need room for the unit, anchoring, safe entry/exit areas, and the blower. Avoid placing units where they can rub against walls, fences, trees, or sharp edges. For tight access, stairs, or tiered yards, contact us so we can recommend the best options.
Yes. The blower runs continuously to keep the inflatable inflated. If it’s unplugged, the unit will deflate. We bring heavy-duty extension cords, but you’ll need an outlet within about 100 feet, or a generator. For parks or remote setups, we recommend adding a generator rental.
Yes — we love park setups. Most parks do not have power near the setup area, so a generator is usually required. Customers are responsible for reserving the space and securing any permits required by the park district.
Yes. JT Jumpers & More is fully insured, and every setup includes safety anchoring and inspection. You’ll also receive rules and operating guidelines so your event stays fun and safe.
We accept credit cards and cash. If paying in cash, please have exact change (drivers do not carry cash). For convenience, we prefer remaining balances are paid through the secure online payment link sent prior to your event.
Yes. A deposit is required to reserve your rental date and lock in your equipment. This helps ensure your bounce house, waterslide, tent, or party equipment is held specifically for your event.
Cancellations must be made at least 5 days before your event date. In our system, 20% of your deposit is retained. The remaining amount can be refunded, and you can also apply your credit toward a future rental date (up to 1 year from the cancellation date), depending on availability.
Yes — especially helpful for graduation parties, festivals, school events, and larger rentals that include inflatables + tents + tables + chairs. Learn more here: Flexible Payments.
You are not responsible for normal wear and tear. Over time, seams and high-traffic areas can show signs of use. If you notice an issue, let us know right away so we can address it. If damage occurs from negligence or failing to follow safety rules (example: ignoring wind instructions, sharp objects, food/drinks inside), the renter may be responsible for repair or replacement costs. We go over rules clearly to help avoid that situation.
Yes. Your receipt and confirmation include your rental details and guidelines, and you can always contact our office if you need a copy.
