The first step to renting a helium tank is to find the right tank size for you. Below you'll find our Balloon Calculator to help determine which tank size you should choose based on how many balloons you're filling.
Once you decide on a tank size, go to our "Order & Locations" page to find a Partner Store near you. This will be the location where you will pick up from and return your tank to. All of our Partner Stores are also party stores so you can load up on party supplies while you're there!
After selecting your Partner Store, go through the checkout process. Once you pay, your tank will be reserved for you for 30 days. You must pick up your order within 30 days or the order will be cancelled and your payment refunded. The rental period starts from the day of pickup. To rent our tanks you must agree to the Rental Terms and Conditions.
Upon arrival at the Partner Store, tell the store employee the name for the order and they will hand you the tank and regulator, as well as demonstrate how to use it. They will also check the pressure of the tank with a regulator to confirm that it is full. It is the customer's responsibility to visually verify that their tank is full. There are no refunds. Once the tank is in the customer's possession it is their responsibility to care for it to ensure there is no helium loss.
Now is the fun part! Take your tank and regulator home with you and use it to fill all the balloons at your event. We recommend looking at our Operation and Safety page so you know how to safely use your tank.
Remember to return your helium tank and regulator to the Partner Store before your rental period expires. There's no refund for unused helium, so make sure you buy extra balloons to get the most out of your helium tank!

Balloon Calculator
We created a Balloon Calculator to help you decide which tank to choose for your event. Simply select the size of the balloon in the left column and put the amount of balloons in the right column. It will add up the volume needed to fill those balloons, and suggest a tank size for you. This calculator estimates round latex balloons only.
This calculator should be considered a broad estimation. Volumes vary between balloon manufacturers and if the balloons are over/under filled. Because there are too many variables, Helium2Rent cannot guarantee all balloons will be filled by renting the suggested tank. Helium2Rent can only guarantee the volume in each tank is correct, that our equipment is in working order, and that our helium is 98% pure.
For reference, here are our 3 tank sizes and the volume of helium they contain.
Balloon Buddy: 30 cubic feet
Party Animal: 60 cubic feet
Show Stopper: 150 cubic feet
If you have a very large event and our tanks don't provide enough helium, you can try our friends at PrimeHelium.com about a larger size helium balloon tank rental. (for Houston only)

Fill Count*
Our smallest tank but still capable of filling all the balloons needed to turn a small get-together into a vibrant party. This little guy contains 30 cubic feet of helium which means it can fill 50 of the standard 11" balloons. Weighing in at 10 pounds it's a breeze to carry around, especially with its black carrying handle. The regulator included in the rental is super easy to use, just screw it on and tilt the tip. A full Balloon Buddy will read 1,800psi on the regulator's gauge.
Twice the volume of the Balloon Buddy, the Party Animal has 60 cubic feet of helium in a portable size. Capable of filling 120 standard 11" Balloons. Lightweight, it can be carried with one hand. A full Party Animal will read 1,800psi on the regulator's gauge. Plop this Party Animal on a table with a bag of balloons and you've got a roaring good time ahead of you.
