Why is the monthly rental rate lower per week than a weekly rate?
I'm renting a standard portable toilet for a six-month construction job in Chicago. The quote shows a monthly rental rate that breaks down to less per week than if I rented it week by week. I understand the operator has delivery and service costs, but I'm trying to figure out why the long-term rate is lower. Is it because they're guaranteed revenue for multiple months, or does it reflect lower servicing needs on a stable site? My crew of 15 uses it daily, the unit is on level ground with full truck access, and we're billed for weekly service. What exactly drives this discount?
