What does a restroom trailer need at my venue?
A restroom trailer needs three things: a garden hose spigot, a standard 110-volt outlet reachable by extension cord, and level ground a truck can back onto. Callers planning outdoor bodas usually confirm water and power first. Without hookups, choose 2–3 deluxe 2-in-1 units instead.
“My son's wedding is outside. And I want a restroom. I have access to water and electricity.”
How much is a restroom trailer in the Valley?
A two-stall restroom trailer costs about $1,900–$2,900 per event in the Rio Grande Valley, including delivery, setup, cleaning and pickup. A wedding planner in our call log was quoted $2,862 plus tax by another company for the same two-stall trailer. Eric Rental Works quotes trailers all-in.
Is one trailer enough for my event?
One two-stall trailer serves about 80 guests for a 4–5 hour reception. A 150-guest quinceañera running past midnight usually needs a trailer plus 2 deluxe 2-in-1 units. An 80-guest party with an open bar may need a trailer plus one unit near the dance floor.

Questions callers asked us
What does a restroom trailer need on site?
A restroom trailer needs a garden hose connection, a standard 110-volt outlet reachable with an extension cord, and level ground the truck can back onto. It is the only unit we rent that needs hookups. Without them, choose deluxe 2-in-1 units instead.
How much is a restroom trailer for a wedding?
A two-stall restroom trailer runs about $1,900–$2,900 per event in the Rio Grande Valley, including delivery, setup, cleaning and pickup. The site needs a garden hose and a standard 110-volt outlet. Larger trailers are quoted per event.
How far ahead should I book?
Book jobsite units 1–2 business days ahead. Book weekend parties 1–2 weeks ahead. Book quinceañeras, weddings and October festival weekends 3–6 weeks ahead. Restroom trailers book out first in spring and fall, so reserve those 4–8 weeks out.
Does a public event need a handicap unit?
Where portable restrooms serve the public, the 2010 ADA Standards section 213.2 calls for at least 5% of units in each cluster, and no fewer than one, to be accessible. In our call log, a 2,000-person festival had not planned any until dispatch asked. Plan at least one.
Will it be there before my 6:30 PM event?
Yes — because we deliver the day before. Trucks stop delivering at 5 PM, so an evening quinceañera, wedding or birthday gets its unit on the previous business day. That way you are never watching the clock on event day, and the price does not change.
