What Does a Bounce House Rental Cost in Nashville?
Straight answer, no quote form required: bounce houses start at $200, combo units at $225, and water slides at $325. Every price includes delivery, setup, and takedown by our crew — there is no separate labor charge, and no fee for the blower, stakes, or extension of setup time. What you see on the booking page is what you pay.
Here is the full fleet and where pricing starts for each type:
- Bounce houses — from $200. Nine classic bouncers, including toddler-friendly and themed units. The right pick for a backyard birthday where most guests are under ten.
- Combo units — from $225. Nineteen of them, and our most-booked category. A combo pairs a bounce floor with an attached slide, so a wide age range stays busy in one unit.
- Dunk tanks — $300. The fundraiser workhorse. Tank, softballs, and equipment included; no power required. See dunk tank rentals.
- Water slides — from $325. Sixteen slides from 15 to 22 feet, four of them dual-lane racers. Every one can also be rented dry. See water slide rentals.
- Obstacle courses — from $325. Six courses, up to our 60-foot Castle Course for school field days and large church events.
Overnight, multi-day, and discounted weekend rates are available on most units. Because pricing varies by date and length of rental, the live booking page always shows the real number for your date before you commit to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver, and is there a delivery fee?
We deliver, set up, and take down every rental. Delivery is free within 30 miles of our shop at 1771 Lewisburg Pike in Franklin. Between 30 and 40 miles there is a $60 delivery fee, and those dates are subject to availability. Beyond 40 miles, give us a call and we will tell you honestly whether we can make it work.
How much is the deposit, and when do I pay the rest?
A $50 non-refundable deposit holds your date. The balance is due at delivery, and you can pay by card on the spot. Cancellations made within five days of the rental date forfeit the deposit.
What happens if it rains?
If your event is weathered out, we apply your deposit to a future date — you do not lose it. We would much rather move your booking than put children on a wet inflatable in a storm, and we will call you the day before if the forecast looks bad.
What do I need to have ready before you arrive?
A reasonably flat setup area, and a standard wall outlet within 50 feet of where the unit goes. The blower runs continuously the whole time the unit is inflated. Please do not plan on an extension cord — the blowers draw enough power to cause dangerous heat buildup at the outlet. If there is no power within reach, we can bring a generator; just tell us when you book.
Can I set up at a park?
Usually yes, with an event permit and a certificate of insurance, and we can provide the certificate for your event. Requirements vary by city and county, so check with the park office first. One thing worth knowing locally: Williamson County parks do not permit inflatables, so if your event is there, plan on a private yard or a different venue.
How far ahead should I book?
Twenty-four hours is our minimum. Realistically, book two to three weeks ahead for a spring or summer Saturday — those go first, and holiday weekends around Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and Labor Day fill earliest of all.
Are your inflatables clean and inspected?
Every unit is state-inspected by the Tennessee Department of Labor, fully insured, and cleaned and sanitized between every single rental. Our fleet is USA-made, which matters more than it sounds — it is the difference between equipment built to a US safety standard and equipment that is not.
Why Families Here Keep Calling Us Back
Tennessee Bounce House has been family-owned and operated since 2018, working out of Franklin and serving Middle Tennessee from Nashville down to Columbia and from Dickson across to Murfreesboro. We are not a national franchise routing your call to a call center — when you phone 615-730-4498, you reach the people who will actually be in your driveway.
That shows up in the part of the job customers notice: the crew arrives inside the delivery window, the unit is clean when it comes off the trailer, and setup is finished before your guests arrive rather than during the party. It is also why we hold a 5-star average across 140+ Google reviews — and why a good share of our summer calendar is people booking us for the third or fourth year running.
