How pricing works

  1. 1. Priced by the operator

    Rides are priced per event by the independent operator who lists them. A ride shows a figure only when its operator has approved one, and that is not the final price.

  2. 2. Every event is different

    Location, travel distance, hours, crew, power, permits and insurance change the price. Operators quote after hearing your details.

  3. 3. Event Access is the fee we charge

    It buys direct contact details for matching operators, not the rental. The rental is agreed and paid with the operator. Event Access is $99. Ferris Wheel Event Access is $199.

  4. 4. Not a booking

    Nothing on this site reserves a ride. A booking exists only when you and the operator agree one directly.

Planning this event?

Tell us your date and city. We show how many independent operators with matching equipment serve your area, free. Event Access then gives you their direct contact details, so you can compare quotes and book with them. We take no commission or markup on the rental.

Frequently asked questions

Is anything on this site a booking?
No. Carnival Ride Rental shows ride inventory from independent operators and, through Event Access, gives you their direct contact details. The rental itself, including availability, price, contract and payment, is agreed directly between you and the operator.
Who sets up and runs the ride?
Usually the ride operator you book with. Ask each operator who delivers, sets up and runs the ride, how many attendants it needs, and how long setup takes.
How much space and power does a ride need?
It depends on the ride and the operator's equipment. Have your surface, available space, access route and power details ready, and ask each operator what their ride needs before you commit.
Do I need a permit?
Some cities, counties and venues require permits or approvals for amusement rides. Requirements vary by location, so check with your venue and local authority and ask the operator what they usually need from a site.
