Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent a tent in Ottawa?

On Rent Anything Store, a 20×20 tent in Ottawa typically rents from CA$300–$500 per day, and a 20×40 from CA$600–$900. Larger frame tents and clear-top tents cost more. Owners set their own rates — most include weights and basic setup.

Do you need a permit for a tent in Ottawa?

For tents under 60 m² on private property, a permit is usually not required in the City of Ottawa. Larger tents, tents on public property, or tents at licensed events typically require a permit from the City and may require a fire-safety review. Confirm with the City of Ottawa before booking.

How far in advance should I book event rentals in Ottawa?

For peak season (May–September), book 6–12 weeks ahead — especially around Tulip Festival (May), Canada Day, Bluesfest, and graduation weekends. For October–March events, 2–4 weeks is usually enough.

What size tent do I need for 50, 100, or 150 guests?

As a rough guide: 20×20 fits ~50 standing or ~30 seated; 20×40 fits ~100 standing or ~70 seated with round tables; 40×60 fits ~200 seated. Add space for a dance floor, bar, and head table.

Do owners deliver and set up across Ottawa?

Most owners on Rent Anything Store offer delivery within Ottawa-Gatineau and many include basic setup of larger items (tents, dance floors). Delivery fees and setup terms are set per listing — check the listing page or message the owner.

Can I rent a bouncy castle for a backyard party in Ottawa?

Yes. Standard inflatables typically rent for CA$175–$275 per day in Ottawa, with combo and obstacle-course units higher. Owners deliver, set up, and pick up. You'll need a flat grass space, a power outlet within ~50 ft, and an adult to supervise.

Do you rent in Gatineau and across the river?

Yes. Many Ottawa owners deliver to Gatineau, Aylmer, and Hull. Filter by 'delivery available' on the listings carousel and confirm the cross-river fee with the owner.

What happens if it rains on my outdoor event?

Tents are designed for rain — that's why most outdoor weddings rent one. For inflatables, owners typically suspend operation in heavy rain or wind. Cancellation and refund policies are set per listing; check before booking.

Is a damage deposit required?

Most owners ask for a security deposit on higher-value items (tents, AV gear, photo booths). Deposits are released after pickup if items are returned undamaged. Damage that does happen is covered by Renter Protection where eligible.

Can I pick up rentals myself or is delivery required?

Many smaller items (chairs, tables, AV, bar service) are pickup-friendly. Tents, dance floors, and bouncy castles are usually delivery-only because of size and setup. Each listing flags the available options.
