If you’re looking for more information on porta potty rentals, you’ve come to the right place! As Michigan’s top portable toilet supplier, we’ve seen it all. We can walk even the most novice event planners through the process of renting porta potties so that they’ll feel confident that they’re fully prepared for any upcoming event.
Here’s all the critical info you need about porta potty rentals for your next outdoor event to ensure you have enough of the right kind of portable bathrooms:
Options
From Standard porta potties and Accessible porta potties to Elite porta potties, there are a variety of portable toilets to choose from for your event. These units all contain the essentials – a regular toilet, urinal, and wall-mounted hand sanitizer. However, depending on the unit they may also contain small upgrades like ground-level access, additional space, a mini sink, or shelf to set belongings on.
However, if you’re looking for something extra special, luxury portable restroom trailers offer truly significant upgrades. These beautiful units are sure to wow guests at even the fanciest outdoor events. Luxury restrooms are perfect for weddings, black tie events, fundraisers, corporate retreats, and other classy events. They boast amenities like climate-controlled interiors, running water, lighting, wooden cabinetry, large mirrors, and homey décor accents.
Placement
Depending on where you plan to place portable toilets, you may need additional units. Events with portable toilets spread out over a wider area will need more bathrooms to accommodate guests and avoid long lines. Therefore, you should have a sense of where you will put units before trying to decide how many you will need. If you need help figuring this out, you can ask an experienced portable toilet supplier for recommendations.
Number
Obviously, the more people you plan on attending your event and the longer the event is, the more bathrooms you’ll need. But for people looking for a specific number, use this handy chart to estimate how many units you’ll need. Generally, you’ll want 1 unit for every 50 attendees for every 3 hours of event time. So, for instance, a 6-hour event for 50 people will need a minimum of 2 porta potties. However, this is not a hard and fast rule. As events get larger and longer, the estimate can change slightly.

Scheduling
When evaluating portable restroom service providers, the first question you should ask is whether they have units available for your chosen date. If you do not have a set date for your event, you can ask them about potential dates. You can also inquire about general availability during busy months. There’s no point in asking about options and pricing if they will not have units available when you need them.
Cost
If you have a set budget, ask your portable toilet company if they have recommendations on how to maximize it. They may have suggestions on how you can reduce vendor costs or get similar offerings for the same price. Sometimes changing rental unit numbers or the rental duration slightly can have a significant effect on the final cost. It never hurts to ask for advice! If you’re early on in the planning process and aren’t sure what to budget for rentals, they can also help. A good provider will provide a ballpark range so that you can plan better.
