How much does a shower trailer rental cost?
Price depends on how many stalls you need and how long you keep the trailer. A basic unit rented for a single day starts near the bottom of the range, while a full weekend event package for a larger trailer sits at the top. Whittier Porta Pros prices by the day, the week, or the event, and we walk you through which one fits before you sign anything. For a wedding at a venue in Whittier, most clients book a weekend package. For a longer construction job, a week or month rate makes more sense, and you can compare that against restroom trailer rental cost figures for standard combo units.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 175 | 800 | 2500 |
| week | 150 | 1397 | 1650 |
| weekend | 900 | 2000 | 3000 |
| event | 2499 | 3500 | 3899 |
Delivery is a separate line. Expect a delivery fee somewhere between $100 and $500 for a single day, or a lower per-week rate if the trailer stays longer. If you are also renting a restroom trailer rental alongside the shower unit, ask about combining delivery so you are not paying the fee twice. Smaller footprint jobs sometimes do better with a 2 stall restroom trailer instead of a full shower setup, so it is worth comparing both before you commit.
What comes with a mobile shower trailer rental?
A shower trailer from Whittier Porta Pros arrives with private stalls, hot and cold water, and interior lighting, ready to hook up and use. Most units pull from a garden hose bib or a water tank we supply, and they need either a standard outlet or a small generator for lights and the water heater. We check your site before delivery, because a shower trailer needs firmer, more level ground than a standard porta potty rental, and a roll-off delivery on the same job needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck if you are running dumpsters and showers together.
If your event or job also needs handwashing separate from the showers, a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental covers that without tying up shower stalls for quick hand rinses. Larger crews sometimes pair a shower trailer with an 8 stall restroom trailer so shower lines do not back up bathroom traffic. We service the trailer on a schedule built around your headcount, and for smaller groups the same baseline interval used across the portable sanitation industry, one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, gives you a starting point before we adjust for your actual crew size.
Why do construction crews and events in Whittier rent shower trailers?
Construction crews doing dirty work, disaster recovery teams, and multi-day outdoor events all need real showers, not just toilets. A roofing or demolition crew working a Whittier job site for a week benefits from a shower trailer the same way they benefit from a construction dumpster rental, because cleanup gear needs somewhere to go too. If work involves paints, coatings, herbicides, or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that contaminant exposure specifically, and a shower trailer satisfies that need directly instead of relying on a sink alone. General toilet counts on the same site still follow OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which sets ratios starting at one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer.
Multi-day festivals, marathons, and county fair events see the same demand. A festival restroom rental package often adds a shower trailer for staff or performers staying onsite overnight, and a marathon and race restrooms plan sometimes includes one for volunteers working long shifts. Farm labor operations covered under OSHA 1928.110 need potable water, toilets, and handwashing within a quarter mile walk for hand-labor employees, and a shower trailer complements that setup on farm and agricultural restrooms jobs where crews are outdoors all day.
Where does Whittier Porta Pros deliver shower trailers?
We deliver throughout Whittier and into nearby communities including Santa Fe Springs, about 4.8 miles southwest, Pico Rivera at 5.5 miles west, and La Mirada, also 5.5 miles south. If your job or event sits closer to La Puente, 7.4 miles northeast, or South El Monte, 10.3 miles north, we still cover it. Check our service areas page for the full list, or start with a porta potty rental in Whittier quote and we will add the shower trailer to the same delivery.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before we drop a trailer curbside, so tell us where you want it and we will sort out whether that spot works. For events needing barricades or crowd control near the shower area, a temporary fence rental or crowd control barrier rental keeps foot traffic organized. Ready to get pricing for your dates?

How many shower stalls do I need for my crew?
It depends on headcount and how long people need to shower. A small crew under 10 people usually manages fine with a single-stall trailer, similar to sizing decisions covered on how many porta potties do I need. Larger teams or multi-day events should call so we can match stalls to your actual schedule.
Do shower trailers need a water and power hookup?
Yes. Most trailers need a garden hose connection for water and either a standard outlet or generator for lights and the water heater. Whittier Porta Pros checks your site ahead of delivery to confirm what is available and what we need to bring, including a generator if your location has no power source.
Can I rent a shower trailer for just a weekend?
Yes, weekend rentals are common for weddings and short events. Pricing sits between the daily and weekly rates, and Whittier Porta Pros handles delivery Friday and pickup Monday in most cases. Ask about pairing it with a wedding restroom rental package for one combined delivery.
What is the difference between a shower trailer and a deluxe portable toilet?
A shower trailer has private stalls with running water for full showers, while a deluxe flushable porta potty is a single flushable toilet unit without shower plumbing. Crews needing both hygiene options often rent them together rather than choosing one over the other.
How far in advance should I book a shower trailer?
Book as early as you can, especially for weekend events or busy construction seasons. Availability is limited on short notice, particularly for larger multi-stall trailers. Contact Whittier Porta Pros as soon as you have dates confirmed to lock in your unit.
