Frequently Asked Questions

How many delivery zones should I have?

Three zones work best for most bounce house businesses. It's simple enough for customers to understand and still covers your cost differences. Zone 1 is usually free or low-cost (0-10 miles), Zone 2 is moderate (10-20 miles), and Zone 3 is your extended area (20-30+ miles). More than 5 zones gets confusing.

Should I offer free delivery?

Many bounce house companies offer free delivery within Zone 1 (closest area) to stay competitive. The cost is built into the rental price. For farther zones, charge a transparent fee. Free delivery everywhere usually means your rental prices are higher than competitors who charge separately.

How do I determine my maximum delivery radius?

Consider the time cost: if delivery and pickup takes 2 hours round trip, that's time you can't spend on another rental. Most bounce house businesses cap at 25-35 miles. Beyond that, the fuel cost, wear on your trailer, and time cost make it unprofitable unless you charge a premium delivery fee.
