10 Questions to Ask Before Renting Portable Toilets

Renting portable toilets is an essential part of planning outdoor events or managing construction sites. Choosing the right provider ensures your guests or team have a clean and reliable sanitation solution. One of the things we believe at Davis Brothers is that an informed decision leads to better results. Here are 10 important questions to ask before renting portable toilets in Southwest Florida.

What Types of Portable Toilets Do You Offer?

Not all portable toilets are the same. Different events and projects call for different options. 

How Many Portable Toilets Will I Need?

Determining the right number of units can feel overwhelming. The decision depends on the size of your event or project, the number of people involved, and the duration. We can help you calculate the perfect number of units to avoid long lines and ensure everyone’s comfort. To learn more about how that is determined, here are two helpful articles: To learn about OSHA requirements for commercial sites. Or To learn about formulas for special events.

Are Your Units ADA-Compliant?

Accessibility should always be a priority. ADA-compliant units provide space and features for those with mobility challenges. Be sure to ask if these options are available and how many you should include for your specific event or site.

How Often Are the Units Cleaned and Serviced?

Clean and well-maintained portable toilets make all the difference. At Davis Brothers, we prioritize hygiene and ensure our units are serviced regularly to maintain a clean environment. You decide if they are serviced 1, 2 or 3 times a week. 

Are There Other Related Services Available?

Portable toilets are just one part of the equation. We offer other services such as handwashing stations or holding tanks. For long-term rentals, we also offer custom branding options that display your name and logo. We offer these services to help meet your unique needs and provide a seamless solution.

Do You Have Local Customer Service?

You shouldn’t have to struggle to get someone on the phone, only to find out they don’t know anything about this area. When you call us, the phone is answered by a real person, here in Southwest Florida. Making you feel like a valued customer, not just another account number, is a priority for us.

What Are the Setup and Placement Requirements?

Proper placement is key to making portable toilets easy to use. Ask about site preparation needs, such as leveling the ground or providing adequate space for delivery vehicles. At Davis Brothers, our team works with you to ensure optimal placement that minimizes disruption and maximizes convenience.

Are There Any Additional Costs?

Transparency is important when planning your rental budget. Ask about potential extra fees for delivery, pickup, or extended rental periods. We believe in clear pricing and will outline all costs upfront, so there are no surprises.

Do You Provide On-Site Assistance or Emergency Support?

Unexpected issues can arise, even with careful planning. Ask if the provider offers on-site assistance or customer support during your rental period. Whether you need extra servicing or a quick resolution to an issue, we’re here to help when you need us.

What Are Your Cancellation or Change Policies?

Flexibility matters when plans change. Ask about the provider’s cancellation or modification policies. We understand that unexpected changes happen, and we work with you to accommodate adjustments whenever possible.
