Weekend or event rate
Also called: event rental, one-day rental, special event rate
The weekend or event rate is the flat price for a portable toilet delivered before an event and picked up after it, typically covering Friday to Monday. It includes one cleaning before delivery and, at some companies, a service visit during a multi-day event.
Event rates per unit are higher per day than construction rates because the unit is delivered, cleaned, staged and picked up for a single use. Deluxe units, restroom trailers, lighting and attendants are priced on top.
