Long-term rental
Also called: multi-month rental, extended rental
A long-term rental is a portable toilet placed for weeks or months at a construction site, a farm, a camp, a renovation or a business without restrooms, billed monthly with weekly service. It is the core of most rental companies' business.
Long-term renters care about the monthly rate, the service day, winter treatment and how fast the company responds to a problem. Compare quotes on the full monthly cost including service, not on the headline unit price.
For a site with very low use, some operators offer service every other week at a lower rate.
