Before You Book: What to Know When Renting a Restroom Trailer for Your Event
Planning an outdoor event comes with a thousand decisions — the venue, the caterer, the décor, the guest list — but one detail is often overlooked until the last minute: restroom accommodations.
At Luxe Loo Cincy, we believe your restroom should feel like a natural extension of your event: clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully placed. Whether you’re planning a wedding, graduation, corporate gathering, or backyard celebration, here’s everything you should know before you book a luxury restroom trailer.
1. Water: What Your Trailer Needs to Run Smoothly
Nearly all restroom trailers need access to a water source. Before you book, ask your venue (or check your home property) for two key details:
Where is the outdoor water spigot located?
How far is it from your ideal trailer placement?
Share this information with your restroom vendor early. If there are additional water connection needs or distance challenges, those should be quoted and clarified before you sign a contract. Transparency saves everyone stress on event day.
2. Sizing Your Restroom: Pick the Right Trailer for Your Crowd
Choosing the right trailer size comes down to two questions:
How many guests will you have?
And how long is your event?
For a standard 6-hour event, use this quick guide:
2-Stall: Up to 150 guests
3-Stall: Up to 250 guests
5-Stall: 300+ guests
A trailer that’s too small leads to long lines. One that’s too big is unnecessary cost. The perfect size ensures comfort, flow, and a seamless guest experience.
3. Pricing & What’s Included: Avoid the Hidden Fees
Not all restroom trailer quotes are created equal. Before booking, confirm exactly what’s included — and where additional costs may show up later.
Your quote should clearly outline:
✔ Delivery & Setup – Will the company place it where you want it, or simply drop it off?
✔ Cleaning Service – Is the unit cleaned, sanitized, and prepped after delivery?
✔ Consumables – Are toilet paper, soap, paper towels, and other supplies included? Basic or premium?
✔ Décor & Details – Does it arrive guest-ready, or will you need to style it?
✔ Water & Power Needs – Are you or the vendor responsible for supplying them? Are extra fees involved?
Clarity is key. A luxury restroom experience should never come with surprise charges.
4. Location, Location, Location: Placement Matters
Where your restroom sits affects both function and aesthetics. The number one rule?
The trailer must be level.
Uneven ground means uneven floors — and guests feel it right away. The best surfaces include:
Gravel
Concrete
Pavement
Make sure your vendor and venue agree on the exact placement and delivery plan before event day. A well-planned location creates an effortless, seamless flow for your guests.
5. Electricity: Every Trailer Needs Power
Luxury restroom trailers come with the comforts of home — running water, lighting, and climate control — and they all rely on electricity.
Most trailers require a dedicated 20-amp outlet within about 100 feet.
Ask your venue to confirm:
Is there a 20-amp outlet available?
How far is it from your preferred trailer location?
If you don’t have access to power, that’s okay — your vendor can often provide a generator. Just make sure those costs are included upfront so nothing catches you off guard later.
The Bottom Line
Think your only option is a porta potty? Think again.
Luxury restroom trailers elevate your event with cleanliness, convenience, and comfort your guests will appreciate — often quietly, but sincerely.
Doing your homework before you book ensures your restroom experience is flawless, seamless, and worthy of your celebration.
