Delivery and Pickup

Where to Rent a Helium Tank: We Deliver Across NY, NJ, CT and PA

Most people asking where to rent a helium tank expect to drive somewhere, load a heavy cylinder into the car, and then drive it back a week later. You do not need to do any of that. Every helium tank rental we take on includes delivery across all four states we serve, and when your event is over we come back and pick up the empty cylinder. Refills and exchanges work the same way: we bring the full tank and take the empty one away in the same visit.

We deliver helium across 42 areas in four states. See the full list on our party rental service areas page.

Tank Sizes

Choosing a Helium Tank for Balloons: 6 Sizes and What Each Fills

Picking a helium tank for balloons comes down to one number: how many balloons you need to fill. Counts below are for standard latex balloons: the first figure is 12 inch, the second is 11 inch. Every balloon helium tank we rent includes a regulator and a full 7 day period. Our helium balloon tank rental range covers six sizes, so you can rent helium tanks for a dozen balloons or a few hundred. Not sure which size you need? Use our balloon helium calculator or just call and describe the job.

Tiny33 cu ft
Fills 62 to 80🎈12" or 11" Balloons

Perfect for a small party or a single balloon arrangement. Lightweight, compact and easy to carry in any car.

Extra Small60 cu ft
Fills 113 to 147🎈12" or 11" Balloons

Ideal for birthday parties, baby showers and smaller events. Still light enough to transport and position on your own.

Small90 cu ft
Fills 171 to 222🎈12" or 11" Balloons

A good middle choice for parties and community events that need a solid run of balloons without a heavy cylinder.

Medium110 cu ft
Fills 209 to 271🎈12" or 11" Balloons

Our most popular size. Suits birthdays, school events and low-volume business accounts. Medium weight and easy to move.

Large219 cu ft
Fills 417 to 542🎈12" or 11" Balloons

Built for corporate events, weddings and professional decorators. Heavy: you will want a large vehicle, or let us deliver it.

Extra Large291 cu ft
Fills 555 to 720🎈12" or 11" Balloons

Maximum capacity and the best value per balloon. Best for festivals, large installations and high-volume accounts.

How Many Balloons Per Tank, by Balloon Size

The counts on the cards above are for standard 11 and 12 inch latex balloons. Bigger balloons use far more helium: a single 24 inch balloon swallows what several small ones would. This chart breaks it down properly, so you can pick the right cylinder before you order rather than running short halfway through.

Using a mix of balloon sizes? That is exactly what our balloon helium calculator is built for. Add each balloon size to your list with the quantity you need, one line at a time, and it adds up the total helium for the whole job and tells you which cylinder size covers it.

That matters most on arches and garlands, where a single design often mixes three or four different balloon sizes. Guessing on those goes wrong quickly: either you run out halfway through, or you pay for a helium tank rental twice the size you needed. Or skip the math, call us before your helium tank rental goes out, and we will work it out with you on the phone.

Rent or We Fill

Should You Rent a Helium Tank or Let Us Fill Your Balloons?

It depends on how many balloons you need. If it is a small number, having us fill them is usually cheaper than taking a whole tank. If it is a large number, or you need to top balloons up over a day or two, renting the tank works out better.

 

Bring your balloons to us

Not sure where to fill balloons with helium? This is the cheapest option. Bring them to our Brooklyn location at 1202 Avenue N and we inflate them while you wait. Any size, including large printed advertising balloons for businesses. We supply the helium for balloons you have already bought. You pay per balloon, and there is nothing to return.

We come to you and inflate on site

We bring a large tank to your venue and fill your balloons there. There is a travel charge plus a cost per balloon. Best when the balloons are fragile, the venue is far, or you simply do not want the job. Popular with decorators working to a tight setup window.

Not sure which way round makes sense? Call and tell us the balloon count. We will do the math with you rather than push you toward the bigger order.

Pricing

What a Helium Tank Rental Costs: From $195, No Deposit

Helium tank rental starts at $195 for the smallest cylinder, with the regulator and a full 7 days included. Size, how long you keep it and how far we travel move the number, so we quote your exact job on the phone in about two minutes.

Regulator Included

Every helium tank rental comes with the regulator and written instructions at no extra cost.

7 Days Helium Tank Rental

A full week on every size. Need longer? Tell us before the week ends and we extend it.

No Deposit

No security deposit on a short-term helium tank rental, and no card hold.

No Hidden Fees

One quote covering the tank, the helium and the delivery. Nothing added afterwards.

What changes a helium tank rental price

Four things, and nothing else. Tank size: a 33 cubic foot cylinder and a 291 cubic foot cylinder are very different amounts of helium. How long you keep it: seven days is included, longer is arranged. Distance: delivery is priced by how far we travel, and pickup is included in that. Whether we inflate for you: if you would rather we filled the balloons, that is priced per balloon instead.

That is why we quote rather than publish. A helium tank rental for a birthday two miles away and a festival order ninety miles away are not the same job, and a single price on a web page would be wrong for both of you.

Refill and Exchange

Refills and Tank Exchange, While You Wait

People often mix these up, so here is the difference in plain terms.

Helium tank refill

This is for a cylinder you already own. If you have a small refillable tank, we refill it for you and the refill itself takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Looking for a helium tank refill near me? Drop it at our Brooklyn location, or we can pick up the empty and bring it back filled.

  • Your own cylinder, filled and returned
  • About 15 to 20 minutes to fill
  • Call ahead so it is ready when you arrive

Helium tank exchange

This is a straight swap. You give us an empty cylinder and we give you a full one of the same size. We deliver the full tank and take the empty away in the same visit, anywhere across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

  • Empty out, full in, one visit
  • Any size, delivered or picked up in Brooklyn
  • Free pickup and recycling for large empty tanks

Tank Disposal

Large Helium Tank Disposal and Recycling: We Take the Empty Cylinder

A large helium cylinder is not household waste. Your regular trash pickup will not take it, and curbside recycling will not take a pressurized cylinder either.

We pick up large empty helium tanks across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, and in most cases we do it at no charge. You do not have to be renting from us. If you own a cylinder you no longer need, call (718) 787-4477 and we will arrange helium tank disposal and recycling for you.

Helium tank recycling is handled the same way anywhere we deliver a helium tank rental. If we delivered the tank, taking the empty away is already part of your helium tank rental.

New customers open an account first. Call us and we will walk you through it. It takes one short conversation.

For Businesses

Long-Term Helium Tank Rental for Businesses

If you fill balloons every week rather than once a year, a long-term helium tank rental account is cheaper and far less hassle. The tank stays at your place. When it runs empty we deliver a full one and take the empty away. Special rates apply for high-volume use.

New customers open an account first. Call us and we will walk you through it. It takes one short conversation.

Safety

Safety Guidance With Every Helium Rental

Every helium tank comes with a regulator and written instructions for safe handling and storage.

For long-term accounts we go through it with you in person when we deliver the tank: how to secure and store the cylinder, how to attach and check the regulator, and what to watch out for. It takes a few minutes, and it means whoever is filling balloons in your shop actually knows what they are doing.

All our cylinders are inspected regularly. If anything does not seem right during your rental, call us on 8am to 8pm and we will sort it out. General handling guidance for compressed gas cylinders is published by the Compressed Gas Association.

Extra-Large Helium Tanks, Two Brooklyn Stores

Martin Landau

We've been renting extra-large helium tanks from them for our stores in Brooklyn for several years. We have locations in Williamsburg and Borough Park, and before the holidays we order helium tanks to fill balloons for the kids. They deliver the tanks directly to our stores and the service is always reliable and convenient. We've used them many times and have always had a great experience. I definitely recommend them for helium tank rental and delivery in Brooklyn.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania, our helium tank rental service reaches you without you going anywhere: we deliver to your door and pick up the empty tank afterwards. If you would rather pick it up, our store is at 1202 Avenue N, Brooklyn NY 11230, open 8am to 8pm every day. Call (718) 787-4477 and we will tell you the delivery cost to your address.

Every helium tank rental runs seven days as standard, on every size from Tiny up to Extra Large. That gives you time to set up the day before, run the event, and get it back to us without rushing. If you need longer, tell us before the rental period is up so we can extend it for you with a small fee.

Yes. We deliver the tank and we come back for the empty cylinder, anywhere in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania. You do not need to make a return trip. If you would rather drop it back yourself, our Brooklyn location at 1202 Avenue N is open 8am to 8pm, seven days.

Helium tank rental starts at $195 for the smallest cylinder, with the regulator and a full 7 day rental included and no deposit. Tank size, how many days you keep it and how far we travel move the price, so call (718) 787-4477 and we quote your exact job in about two minutes.

For one party, no. A disposable store tank costs around $50 and fills roughly 30 balloons, so 100 balloons means buying three of them and throwing three away. Our smallest rental starts at $195 with a regulator, a full 7 days and no deposit, and there are no empty cylinders left for you to get rid of afterwards. If you run events every month, buying your own cylinder can make sense, but then you also pay for refills, storage and transport, which is why most repeat customers stay on a long-term rental with us instead.

It depends on how many you need. Under about 30 balloons, bring them to our Brooklyn store at 1202 Avenue N and we fill them while you wait, priced per balloon, with nothing to return. Over about 50, renting a tank works out cheaper per balloon and you keep it for 7 days. Tell us your balloon count on the phone and we will tell you honestly which one costs you less.

Around 55 to 60 cubic feet of helium for 100 standard 12 inch latex balloons, or a little less for 11 inch. That is comfortably inside our mid-size cylinder. Foil balloons and oversized printed balloons use much more, so tell us the sizes and we will match the tank to the job. Our balloon helium calculator gives you a figure in a few seconds.

No deposit is required on short-term helium tank rental, and we do not put a hold on your card. Long-term business accounts work on different terms, which we go through when you open the account.

Tiny fills 62 to 80, Extra Small 113 to 147, Small 171 to 222, Medium 209 to 271, Large 417 to 542, and Extra Large 555 to 720. The lower figure is for 12 inch latex balloons and the higher one for 11 inch. Foil and oversized balloons use more helium, so call us if your job is a mix.

Order before 11:30 am and we deliver the same day. After that it goes out the next day. In Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens that is usually within 2 to 3 hours, and delivery there is free. Everywhere else there is a delivery fee based on distance. We take last-minute orders 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm, and we answer text messages until midnight.

Yes. Bring your balloons to our Brooklyn location and we inflate them while you wait, priced per balloon: that is the cheapest option. Or we bring a large tank to your venue and fill them on site for a travel charge plus a per-balloon cost.

 

A refill puts helium back into a cylinder you already own, and takes about 15 to 20 minutes. An exchange swaps your empty tank for a full one of the same size. We can do either at your location or at our Brooklyn store.

 

Yes. We are a registered Department of Education vendor under the name Party Services Inc. We accept purchase orders and provide services for school celebrations, parties, and graduations throughout the year.

Yes. Call us before your 7 days are up and we will extend the helium tank rental with a small extension fee. Businesses that need helium continuously are usually better off on a long-term account, where the cylinder simply stays with you and we swap empties as they come.

Every helium tank rental includes the tank, the helium, a regulator for latex balloons, Long-term accounts also get an in-person safety walkthrough when we deliver.

If you are wondering how to dispose of a helium tank, the answer is not in the trash. A large helium cylinder is pressurized, so household waste and curbside recycling will not take it. We pick up large empty helium tanks across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, in most cases at no charge, whether or not you rented the tank from us. Call (718) 787-4477 and we will arrange it.
