Can You Cancel or Reschedule a Water Slide Rental?
Yes, you can reschedule a Big Wave Slides rental — and for weather, we would much rather move your date than have anyone slide in a storm. Because we book by quote with no online payment, you are never trapped by an automatic pre-charge; just reach out and we will sort out a new date.
Here is how cancellations, reschedules, and weather work so there are no surprises.
Can I reschedule if the weather is bad?
Yes. Summer storms and high wind are the most common reasons people move a date, and we plan for it. If the forecast turns unsafe, we help you shift to another day rather than cancel outright. Read the details in our rain and weather policy and our guide to how windy is too windy — safety always comes first, on every unit from the Aqua Wave 15 to the Mega Monsoon 28.
How much notice do I need to change my date?
The earlier the better. Giving us as much notice as possible means your preferred slide — say a Double Drop Racer 22 or Castle Splash Combo — is more likely to be free on the new date. Weather calls, of course, often happen the day before or day of, and we understand that. Just call +1 (614) 302-5899 or email contact@bigwaveslides.com as soon as you know.
Do I lose my deposit if I cancel?
Because we are quote-based and do not take online payments, there is no automatic charge sitting on your card. If a deposit applies to your booking, we will always tell you upfront in your written quote — see what is included in a water slide rental and do you have to pay a deposit. Our goal is to reschedule, not to keep your money.
Can I change the slide or add to my order?
Usually, yes — if it is available for your date. Want to size up from a Tropical Wave 18 to a Tidal Tower 27, swap a single lane for a racer, or add a unit for a bigger HOA or neighborhood event? Just ask. Browse the full rental catalog and tell us what you have in mind.
What if I need to cancel completely?
Life happens. Reach out as early as you can and we will make it as painless as possible. For future flexibility, many hosts booking large school or corporate events like to lock a backup date at booking — we are happy to note one.
Frequently asked questions
Will I be charged automatically if I do not cancel? No. We do not take online payments, so nothing auto-charges. Everything is arranged by quote and confirmation.
Is a weather reschedule really free? We prioritize moving your date for unsafe weather rather than penalizing you. Any specifics are spelled out in your written quote.
