Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing depends on the unit type, rental duration, and delivery location. Standard portable toilets start at $99 for new customers, making Express Portable one of the most competitive options in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County. Luxury restroom trailers, ADA-compliant units, and specialty equipment are priced higher based on size and amenities. Rental durations range from a single day to long-term monthly construction contracts.
Factors that affect your total cost include:Unit type (standard, ADA, luxury trailer, handwash station)
Number of units needed
Rental duration (1 day vs. weekly vs. monthly)
Frequency of servicing
Delivery location within our service area

A good rule of thumb: 1 portable toilet per 50 guests for events lasting up to 4 hours. For longer events or if alcohol is being served, add 15–20% more units. For construction sites, OSHA recommends 1 unit per 10 workers on a standard 40-hour work week.
Quick reference guide:50–100 guests (4-hour event): 2–3 units
100–250 guests: 4–5 units
250–500 guests: 7–10 units
10 construction workers: 1 unit (serviced weekly)
Always add at least 1 ADA-compliant unit for public events
Add 1 handwash station per 4 portable toilets

Express Portable is headquartered in Miami, FL and provides portable sanitation services across South Florida and beyond:
Construction services: Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and Palm Beach County
Special events & outdoor weddings: All of South Florida Florida
Hurricane & disaster relief: All of Florida and surrounding regions
Whether you're planning a construction project in Fort Lauderdale, an outdoor wedding in Boca Raton, or need emergency sanitation after a storm, we deliver. Same-day delivery is available for urgent requests — call (786) 783-3500 to confirm availability in your area.
-
We recommend booking at least 3–5 days in advance for standard rentals. For special events (especially weddings, concerts, and festivals), booking 2–4 weeks ahead is strongly advised — luxury restroom trailers book up quickly during peak Florida event season (October through May).
That said, Express Portable offers same-day emergency delivery when inventory allows. If you have an urgent need, call or text us at (786) 783-3500 and we'll do everything we can to accommodate you. We've been serving South Florida since 2001 and understand that construction timelines and event logistics don't always go according to plan. -
No — you don't need to be present for delivery or pickup. Our experienced drivers can place and remove units without you there. To ensure a smooth drop-off, please:
Leave gates unlocked or provide an access code
Keep driveways and access paths clear of vehicles or equipment
Mark the desired placement location clearly, or provide written drop-off instructions in your booking notes
If there's anything special about your site (tight access, gravel paths, gated communities), just let us know when you book and we'll plan accordingly.
-
Absolutely. Every unit Express Portable delivers is thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and fully stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer before it reaches your site or event. We pride ourselves on delivering equipment in better condition than our competitors — cleanliness is a cornerstone of our reputation since 2001.
For ongoing long-term rentals (construction sites, job sites), units are serviced on a regular schedule that includes:Full waste tank pump-out
Interior cleaning and deodorization
Toilet paper and supply restocking
You can confirm your service schedule when booking or review it in your rental agreement via our ServiceCore customer portal.
-
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) sets clear standards for portable sanitation on construction sites. Under 29 CFR 1926.51, employers must provide:
1 toilet for 1–20 workers
1 toilet seat + 1 urinal per 40 workers for 21–200 workers
Units must be located within a reasonable walking distance of the work area
Toilet facilities must be maintained in a sanitary condition
Express Portable will help you calculate the correct number of units for your crew size to keep your site fully OSHA-compliant. Non-compliance can result in fines — don't risk it.
-
Long-term construction rentals are typically serviced once per week — this includes full waste tank pump-out, interior cleaning, deodorization, and restocking of toilet paper and supplies. For larger crews or high-use sites, we can arrange twice-weekly or more frequent service to keep units in top condition.
Your service schedule will be outlined in your rental agreement. Customers can also log service requests and track deliveries through our ServiceCore customer portal for total transparency. If a unit needs emergency servicing between regular visits, call or text us at (786) 783-3500. -
eYes — and most construction customers do. Express Portable provides both portable toilets and temporary chain-link fencing for construction sites of all sizes throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County. Bundling both services under one provider simplifies your logistics, billing, and communication — one call, one invoice, one point of contact.
Our temporary fencing is ideal for:Job site perimeter security
Public safety barriers
Crowd control at outdoor events
Construction zone compliance

Great question — and the answer matters a lot for guest experience:
Standard portable toilets are individual, self-contained units. They're cost-effective and practical for construction sites, casual outdoor events, and large-crowd situations where volume matters most. They do not flush and have basic hand sanitizer dispensers.
Luxury restroom trailers are climate-controlled, multi-stall units mounted on a trailer. They feel like upscale indoor bathrooms and include:Flushing toilets
Running water sinks with hot and cold water
Vanity mirrors and interior lighting
Air conditioning (critical for South Florida heat)
Elegant interior finishes
For weddings, corporate events, film sets, and upscale gatherings, luxury trailers make a significant impression on guests. Express Portable carries both options — we'll help you choose the right fit for your event and budget.
-
For outdoor weddings, we recommend 1 portable restroom stall per 25–50 guests, depending on how long the event runs and whether alcohol is served. Since Florida weddings often involve open bars, err on the higher side.
Practical guidelines for weddings:Under 75 guests: 2–3 stalls (luxury trailer recommended)
75–150 guests: 3–5 stalls
150–300 guests: 5–8 stalls or a multi-stall luxury trailer
Alcohol served: Add 20% more capacity
Always include at least 1 ADA-accessible unit
For weddings, we strongly recommend our luxury restroom trailers — they include air conditioning, flushing toilets, and upscale finishes that match the tone of your event. They are available for all of Florida.
-
Yes. Express Portable offers standalone foot-pump handwashing stations and hand sanitizer stands for events of all sizes. These are essential for:
Any event serving food (health code compliance)
Events where portable toilets don't have built-in sinks
Adding hygiene touchpoints throughout large event venues
We recommend 1 handwash station per 4 portable toilets as a baseline. For food festivals, farmers markets, or events with catering, stations should be placed at every food service area. Handwash stations can be bundled with your toilet rental for convenience.
-
Our luxury restroom trailers are designed to deliver an upscale bathroom experience even in outdoor or remote locations. Standard amenities include:
Air conditioning and heating — essential for South Florida's year-round heat
Flushing toilets (porcelain)
Running hot and cold water at vanity sinks
Vanity mirrors and interior lighting
Elegant interior finishes
Separate men's and women's sections (on multi-stall units)
ADA-accessible configurations available
Express Portable's luxury trailers are available for events across all of Florida — from intimate outdoor weddings in the Keys to large-scale film productions and stadium events in Miami. We maintain higher-quality inventory than many competitors, so guests notice the difference.
-
Most of our luxury restroom trailers require access to:
A standard 120V electrical outlet (dedicated circuit preferred) to power air conditioning and lighting
A water spigot connection for running water at the sinks
If your venue doesn't have these utilities readily available, don't worry — we can coordinate generator rental and water supply solutions to ensure your event runs seamlessly. When booking, let us know the site conditions and we'll plan accordingly. Our team has serviced venues from beachfront estates to remote outdoor locations across Florida.
-

Handwashing stations and water systems
Rapid deployment across all of Florida
In disaster situations, clean sanitation is a public health priority. Our team understands the urgency and is available 24/7 for emergency requests. For large-scale relief deployments, contact us directly at (786) 783-3500 to discuss fleet availability and logistics.

This service is available throughout South Florida. Whether your boat is docked in Miami, your RV is parked in Broward, or you have a residential tank that needs servicing, our team can schedule a pump-out at your convenience. Call or text (786) 783-3500 to book.
-
A standard Express Portable rental includes:
Delivery to your location in our service area
Placement of the unit at your designated spot
Pickup at the end of your rental period
Initial cleaning and stocking before delivery (toilet paper, hand sanitizer)
For long-term construction rentals, weekly servicing (pump-out, cleaning, restocking) is included in your recurring billing cycle. For one-day event rentals, units are serviced before delivery and retrieved after your event. Additional service visits can be arranged for an extra fee if needed. Always confirm what's included when you receive your quote — we believe in transparent, no-surprise pricing.
-
Yes — same-day delivery is available based on current inventory and your location. Express Portable operates 24/7 and has served South Florida for over 20 years, so we're experienced at responding quickly to last-minute requests from construction site managers, event planners, and emergency coordinators alike.
To request same-day service, call or text us directly at (786) 783-3500 as early in the day as possible to maximize availability. For ongoing projects, scheduling in advance is always recommended to guarantee unit availability, especially during peak South Florida event season (October through May).
