- Standard port-a-johns are typically constructed with form-injected plastic or fiberglass. These restroom facilities typically have a toilet and a urinal, toilet rental companies may provide dispensed hand sanitizer (included, or for a small fee)
- if a rental company offers large ADA compliant porta-potties, the unit requires a little more work all the way around... cost naturally rises with any amenity offered beyond the standard plastic portable toilet/urinal
I.E...deluxe flushable portable toilet w/ sink, Trailer VIP port-a-potties, Walk-In Urinal Stalls - Restroom trailers, or upscale mobile portable toilets are top-of-the-line sanitation solutions.

VIP Toilet Trailer Restrooms and Shower Facilities can run several thousand dollars to rent for large, deluxe units.
- Special Event Toilets compared to Construction Site Portable Potties
- A toilet rental company usually has separated fleets of toilet stalls...Special Event restrooms are well-maintained inside and out, get serviced daily for large events(highest-end plastic-johns). Construction Job-Site toilets typically come standard w/ a urinal and necessary supplies. Both of these facilities are cleaned, treated, pumped as needed or specified... typically daily, weekly or biweekly
- Your region or location (City, State...vicinity of your site location to the portable toilet rental company)
- If a restroom rental service operator has to travel a significant distance to set your stall, come back to clean and service, you may be charged a service fee. However this fee may be included in the cost of the toilet rental itself(especially with monthly rentals-weekly service), so you should always ask your restroom rental provider about fees in relation to overall rental cost.

Many companies are able to provide same day service for porta potties and portable sinks. Expect to pay a fee or surcharge for same day delivery. This does not apply to large equipment rentals like mobile restroom and shower trailers. These facilities are not available same day. We recommend booking toilet, sink or shower units 48 hours or more in advance. For large orders, please give companies 72 hours and in most cases, a week is needed to arrange a full-scale sanitation solution.
We dispose of waste water at local, designated waste water treatment locations, according to the procedures and regulations of these facilities.
