Bouncy Castle/ Inflatable Play Equipment insurance - current rates

(These rates are for businesses operating in one fixed locality - NOT for Travelling Showmen or members of the Showman's Guild)

Following a recent court case we have had enquiries from people hiring in bouncy castles for daily cover. We must advise we can only offer cover to people and firms who hire bouncy castles out. Some house contents insurance companies will provide liability cover as standard, so we suggest that you read your policy wording or speak to your insurance broker. As is usual you are more likely to get wider cover through an insurance company that deals with an insurance broker than one that sells direct.

We only offer policies through Leisureinsure - if you have already had a quote from them then we cannot help you - sorry.
