What sets the price of a porta potty rental?
Five things set the price of a porta potty rental: the delivery location, the unit type, the dates, the service schedule and the number of units. Distance from the Edinburg yard drives the delivery charge. Unit type drives the base price. Quantity of 5 or more lowers the price per unit.
| Factor | How it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Location | Edinburg, McAllen and Pharr are the shortest routes. Brownsville, South Padre Island, Roma and Falfurrias cost more to reach. |
| Unit type | Standard is the base. Deluxe, accessible and trailers step up in that order. |
| Dates | Weekend events drop Friday and pick up Monday for one event price. Same-day on a full day can add a rush fee. |
| Servicing | One service per week is included on 28-day rentals. Extra visits are added only if you ask. |
| Quantity | Delivery is charged once per order, so the per-unit cost drops as you add units. |
What does an itemized porta potty quote include?
An itemized porta potty quote lists the unit price, the rental period, delivery and pickup, the service schedule, sales tax and any rush fee. Nothing else is added later. If a fuel charge or card fee applies, the quote shows it as its own line before you pay.
- Unit and period: e.g. "1 standard unit, 28 days".
- Delivery and pickup: one round-trip charge.
- Service: "weekly, pumped and restocked".
- Tax: Texas sales tax on the rental.
- Total: the number on your card.
Why is a one-day rental almost the same price as a week?
A one-day porta potty rental costs nearly as much as a week because the expensive parts are the same: a truck and driver to deliver, a truck and driver to pick up, and pumping and cleaning the unit afterward. The unit sitting on site an extra few days adds little cost.
That is why weekend units drop Friday and pick up Monday at the same price.
How is monthly billing counted?
Monthly porta potty rentals bill every 28 days, not by calendar month. Thirteen 28-day cycles fit in one year. The rental renews every 28 days until you call for pickup. Call before the next cycle starts and no new cycle is billed.
