We started out with a small Rascal van, we could just about fit our three Bouncy Castles in together but we found that we quickly outgrew the van when we expanded and bought extra Bouncy Castles. The Rascal cost us £500 but after we expanded we bought a much larger LDV van, this was an ex post office van and cost us £1,650.
We strongly suggest when looking for a van, if you have the funds, go for larger early on. The last thing that you want to do is have to deliver three Bouncy Castles and then return home to pick up your next three deliveries. A van with a side door is preferable.
The LDV van is pretty good for us, we can fit about eight Bouncy Castles on board unless these included Bouncy Boxing which has the gloves as well or ball ponds which obviously have several bags of balls to go in as well. On most days we can fit everything on but on occasion do have to go back for a couple.
If your budget will stretch to it something around the size of a Mercedes Sprinter would be great but you cannot sacrifice buying the Bouncy Castles. You may have to do what we did and upgrade your van as you purchase extra Bouncy Castles and party games.
If you are going to move into marquees to keep you going over the winter you are going to need a much bigger vehicle as you will have chairs, tables and other equipment.
