The Ultimate Potty Showdown
When new customers contact us, some of the most common questions we receive are:
“Which is better for my event – a luxury restroom trailer or porta-potties?”
“What makes luxury restroom trailers so special?”
“Are luxury restrooms worth the extra cost?”
This blog breaks down the benefits of porta-potties and luxury trailers so you can make the best decision for your event. Let’s dive into the ultimate potty showdown: porta-potties vs. luxury restroom trailers.
Porta-Potties
Affordability
The main advantage of renting porta-potties is the cost. They are an affordable way to provide restrooms for outdoor events of all sizes. The larger the event, the better the value because there are cost savings associated with adding additional units to fill a truck. You can also obtain a volume discount depending on how many you need to rent.
Scalability
Large events need a scalable restroom solution to accommodate many guests quickly. Nothing can kill an event faster than making people wait in long lines for bathrooms (especially family-friendly events). Porta-potty banks provide many bathrooms in one area to get guests in and out quickly, preventing lines and improving satisfaction. Single-unit bathrooms also allow event planners to spread bathrooms throughout the entire event space for added convenience.
Availability
Unlike luxury restroom trailers with unique features and appearances, standard porta-potties are all interchangeable. Subsequently, their availability is virtually unlimited. You can typically pick the date and number of portable toilets and find a toilet supplier to serve your needs. Luxury restrooms, however, usually need to be booked much further in advance to ensure availability.
Luxury Restroom Trailers
Comfort
Restroom trailers provide world-class comfort. They are the most luxurious versions of portable restrooms on the market. With climate-controlled interiors, they are comfortable to use in all seasons, regardless of the weather. Flushing toilets, running hot/cold water, and spacious interiors provide an accessible space for guests of all ages and abilities. Because of their amenities, luxury restroom trailers are an excellent solution for many events, including weddings!
Aesthetics
Porta-potties are functional but not aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, luxury portable restrooms look clean and sleek with interiors outfitted in various themes (rustic barn, modern, traditional, etc.). Most luxury trailers feature:
- Wooden cabinetry
- Wide mirrors
- Recessed lighting
- Low-level exterior lighting
Additional features include: hanging wall art, accent rugs, and various accessories to complete the look. These aesthetics make luxury portable toilets perfect for outdoor weddings, black-tie events, fundraisers, and private parties.
Amenities
If indoor toilet-type features like flushing toilets and running water weren’t enough to set restroom trailers apart, homestyle comforts like air conditioning/heat and pleasing lighting will keep guests talking. Spacious countertops and large mirrors allow guests to prepare and freshen up properly during formal events like weddings. Shower trailers even provide the same amenities that you would find in your home’s main bathroom, making them perfect for sporting events, extended outdoor festivals, and camping trips.
