Why Do Event Porta Potties Cost More?

Why is an event unit more than $125?

An event unit costs more because it is kept for events only and arrives extra clean, and the delivery fee covers two truck trips: drop-off and pickup. One homeowner expected about $125 and was quoted $243 for the unit plus $81 for delivery and pickup, with Friday drop and Monday pickup at no extra cost.

How can I keep the cost down?

Keep the cost down by booking one well-placed unit for up to 50 guests, choosing standard over deluxe, avoiding same-day delivery, and asking about church or nonprofit pricing. A jobsite unit can be cheaper for multi-day rentals that do not need event presentation.
