Do You Tip Bounce House Delivery Crews?
Tipping etiquette for bounce house and party rental crews — when to tip, how much, and when it's not expected.
The short answer
Tipping isn't required, but it's appreciated. Most people who tip give $10–$20 per crew member, or around 10–15% of the rental for large or difficult setups.
When a tip is especially kind
Consider tipping when the crew carries equipment up stairs or across long distances, sets up in heat or rain, arrives early, or handles a last-minute change gracefully.
When it's not expected
If the company owner delivers personally or the invoice already includes a service fee, a tip is optional. A thank-you and an honest review are always welcome.
