How far in advance do I need to book a rental for a carnival or mechanical ride?
Booking a carnival or mechanical ride rental from 3 Monkeys Inflatables is best done as early as possible, especially for high-demand events such as festivals, fairs, and holiday parties. With inquiries increasing year-round and bookings happening earlier every season, securing your desired equipment ahead of time is key to ensuring availability.

Here are a few factors to consider when planning your event:
1. High-Demand Events and Holiday Parties
Many of our clients book for high-demand events such as:
- Labor Day celebrations
- Fourth of July parties
- Mayday festivals
- Fairs and community events
To ensure you get your top-choice rentals, we recommend booking up to a year or more in advance. In fact, many of our customers are already reserving equipment well in advance for these occasions, as these time periods fill up quickly. Early booking guarantees that you’ll secure the rides and inflatables you need to make your event a success.
2. Securing Your Booking with a Deposit
To make the booking process as seamless as possible, 3 Monkeys Inflatables requires only a 25% non-refundable deposit to hold your reservation. This small deposit ensures that your event is secured on our calendar, and the rides and equipment you want are locked in for your specific date.
3. When to Book for Other Events
For smaller events, such as birthday parties or corporate functions, we recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance. While our inventory is extensive, mechanical rides, rock walls, and carnival attractions are popular year-round, so booking early increases the chances of availability for your event.
Conclusion: Book Early for Peace of Mind
At 3 Monkeys Inflatables, we always suggest booking your carnival or mechanical ride rentals as far in advance as possible to ensure availability. Whether you’re planning a large festival or a community fair, locking in your reservation early with a small 25% deposit makes it easy to secure your event.
