Industry-Leading Safety Protocols and Equipment Maintenance
Safety and cleanliness are at the center of everything we do at Rio Party & Events, and each unit undergoes comprehensive pre-rental preparation. We never deliver equipment that has not been checked by our team first. Our own children play on these inflatables, so we treat every rental personally that the inflatables their children are playing on are safe, well-maintained, and free from damage or defects before every single event. Before every rental goes out for delivery, our crew walks through a complete inspection process that covers the slide surface, seams, blower connections, and anchor points. We also provide detailed usage guidelines with each rental so they understand how to operate the unit correctly during the event. This keeps everyone protected and helps prevent damage caused by avoidable accidents and equipment failures. Customer safety remains our top priority across every event we service.

Your Water Slide Rental Questions Answered
How much should I budget for a water slide rental?
Our water slide rental prices range from $215 for compact units up to $499 for our flagship models. Smaller 17ft slides start at $215, while our largest unit, the 24ft Splash Park, is $499. Tax and distance-based delivery charges are additional based on your event location within the Rio Grande Valley.
Do water slides need to stay plugged in the entire time?
Yes, a blower keeps air in the inflatable water slide the entire time it is in use. The slide cannot maintain shape without constant airflow. That is why we require an electrical outlet within 50ft of the setup location or a generator. We supply professional electrical equipment because longer household cords can trip your circuit breaker.
What is the recommended booking timeline?
We recommend booking your water slide rental at least 2-3 weeks in advance for popular periods. Saturday and Sunday availability disappears early, and our most popular units like the 24ft Splash Park and 27ft Sky Mountain tend to get reserved well in advance. Our booking system shows current openings instantly.
Is delivery available throughout the RGV?
Yes, Rio Party & Events delivers inflatable water slide rentals to McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco, Brownsville, and all areas in between across the Rio Grande Valley. For locations outside our typical delivery zone, contact us and our team can arrange special delivery options to accommodate your location and event needs.
What if my water slide gets damaged during the event?
You are not responsible for typical usage-related aging. However, if damage occurs due to failure to follow our posted safety rules or negligence — such as not turning off the blower during high winds — you will be responsible for all repair costs, potentially requiring complete equipment replacement. Clear guidelines and signed agreements minimize damage incidents.
