Last Minute Booking & Emergency Response Vehicle

Funbounce Entertainments Launch’s there new bouncy castle hire emergency vehicle and receives great feedback from bouncy castle hire customers in Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, York, sheffield and Huddersfield.


The vehicle is designed to take on last minute inflatable hire bookings at the drop of a hat, either due to the nice weather and someone deciding they’d like to hire a bouncy castle or someone being let down by another company.

We’ve also launched the new service so that if any of our own bouncy castle hire customers have a problem on day of inflatable we can sort out the problem either instantly over the phone or be there to sort out any situation personally in less than 1 hour. What’s more… in almost 75% of these situations we were able to react in under 30 minutes.

This is not to say that Funbounce’s inflatable’s are usually faulty or unreliable but unfortunately sometimes accidents do happen or the bouncy castles you have hired can be confusing to the untrained hirer, especially if you have opted for something a little more adventurous like the Noahs arc, bungee un, gladiator duel, wrecking ball laser maze hire or any other spectacular inflatable for that matter.

Some problems we encounter are as simple as an obstructed air vent by garden leaves etc, the misbehaviour of some of the children perhaps, or even a power surge in the house or an overloaded power socket by the DJ. All of which can spoil a party if not attended quickly and put right.

The new bouncy castle emergency vehicle received a massive thank you from two very recent bouncy castle hire customers who were let down on the morning of their hire by another bouncy castle hire company… on calling us we were able to take the inflatable slide hire and Bungee Run Hire out to them without a second thought and within 1 hours of the bouncy castle customer receiving the dreaded “My Vans Broken Down Mate” or “The castles just this minute torn” telephone call from another company.

So far the success has been brilliant and something we hope to keep up with next season.
