Do you supply restrooms for livestock-show events in Mercedes?
Yes. Show events need standard units plus handwash stations near food and animal areas, at least one accessible unit, and mid-event service. Send the site map early.
Do you rent porta potties by the day?
No — event rentals are priced per event, not per day. Eric Rental Works drops the unit off Friday (or Thursday on busy weekends) and picks it up Monday for the same price as one day. A Saturday birthday or a Sunday carne asada costs the same whether the unit stays one day or four.
Are there extra fees like fuel or card charges?
No. Eric Rental Works quotes one all-in price: unit, delivery, pickup, stocking and tax. Many companies add a fuel surcharge (about $35 in calls we reviewed) and a 3% card fee after the quote. Ours does not. Only a same-day fee or an extra service visit can be added, and only if you ask for them.
