Dodgem & Bumper Cars Hire Scotland
Dodgems and inflatable bumper cars are the perfect choice for your next party or event. There’s something truly special about having such an exciting attraction. Dodgems and bumper cars are both familiar and unexpected. Everyone has experience with and fond memories of these games, but they’re not something that most people see every day. That means that just the sight of them will bring back memories and send a sense of nostalgia flooding in, but this is soon accompanied by a rush of adrenaline and excitement.
Party guests will have huge smiles on their faces as soon as they see that there are bumper cars or dodgems at your event, no matter where you are in Scotland. In fact, the crowd likely won’t be able to leave them alone! They’ll certainly be one of the most popular attractions at your party and everyone will be talking about them long after the event.
Dodgems are available in a classic theme or a more modern look, so you’ll be able to get the style that works best for your event. Our traditional dodgems look right at home alongside other classic funfair rides, while the modern dodgems features sports cars and other stunning effects. Whichever option you choose, your guests will definitely be in for a thrilling experience!
Bumper cars is another game that everyone knows and everyone loves. Our bumper car hire is suitable for kids between the ages of three and 16, and it’s the perfect way for kids and youth to have fun. Less intense than the dodgems track, there’s a lot more bounce to bumper cars, so the aim of the game tends to be more about fun and less about white-knuckle racing! Either way, it’s still a great time!

Can younger children ride the bumper cars?
Yes — we offer children’s inflatable bumper cars that are ideal for kids. They’re lower speed, fully enclosed, and brilliant for school events or family zones at festivals.
Do you offer traditional and modern dodgems?
Yes, we do! Choose from modern dodgems with vibrant lights and sleek styling or traditional dodgems for a vintage look that adds a nostalgic fairground feel to your event.
How long is the hire period?

We need a flat and accessible area — typically a tarmac, grass, or hardstanding surface with space for the track and barriers. Power is useful, but we can supply generators. See How much space do I need to hire the Dodgems? for more details.
How do the dodgems work?
Each car is electrically powered via a conductive surface or overhead grid and is driven by the rider using a steering wheel and pedal. Want the full technical rundown? Visit How do the Dodgems work?
