How many porta potties does my party need?

A Galveston party needs 1 standard porta potty per 50 guests for up to 4 hours. A 30-person family reunion needs 1 unit; a 60-person birthday needs 2; a 100-person backyard party needs 2 for 4 hours or 3 for longer. Add 1 unit when alcohol is served all afternoon.

Method: under 500 guests, 1 unit per 50 guests for up to 4 hours (Satellite Industries guidance), plus 1 unit per 4 for longer events. 500+ guests use the PSAI special-events chart. Alcohol adds about 15% (PSAI: 10–20%). Accessible units: at least 5%, minimum 1 (2010 ADA Standards 213.2). No mid-event pumping assumed.

Real photos

What do our special event restrooms setups look like?

These are real photos of units we set for special event restrooms jobs: how they're placed, what's inside, and how they arrive. Every unit is pumped, pressure-washed, sanitized and restocked before delivery, so the unit on your site looks like the ones here.

Why do event units arrive the day before?

Event porta potties arrive the day before because deliveries run 8 AM to 5 PM and we never want your unit to be late. For Saturday and Sunday events, we drop Friday and pick up Monday at no extra cost. That gives you set-up time and covers early guests.

From our call log

A 90th-birthday host asked for a one-day rental and expected a per-day price. Event pricing is per event: her unit came Friday, stayed through Sunday, and left Monday for one flat price. Three of our 26 reviewed callers asked the same "by the day" question.

What should I tell you about my property?

Tell us the exact placement spot, the surface (grass, gravel, concrete, sand), gate codes, low-hanging wires, pets, and parked cars. Our drivers use these notes to set the unit right the first time. Many Galveston homes are raised, so mention stairs or tight side yards too.

  • Low cable or power lines over the driveway
  • Dogs and electric or invisible fences
  • Dirt drives, creeks, or bridges on rural lots
  • Shade — the unit stays cooler and smells less
  • A second contact if you won't be home

From real customer calls

Questions renters ask us before booking

These questions come straight from real rental calls. Each answer starts with the short version, then the conditions that change it.

Do you rent porta potties by the day?

No. Event units are priced per event, not per day. Keeping the unit one day or five days costs the same, because the cost is mostly delivery, cleaning, and pickup. That's why we drop off Friday and pick up Monday for weekend parties at no extra charge.

Do you deliver on weekends?

We deliver Monday through Saturday. For a Saturday or Sunday event, we normally drop the unit off Friday and pick it up Monday at no extra charge. That way your unit is in place before guests arrive and you never wait on a weekend truck.

Is one porta potty enough for 30 guests?

Yes, for up to 4 hours. One standard unit covers 30 guests for a party or reunion of that length, especially when your house bathroom is open too. For an all-day or overnight event, add a second unit or a mid-event service. Pick a deluxe unit if food is served buffet-style.

How many porta potties do I need for 100 guests?

100 guests need 2 standard units for up to 4 hours. For a 5–8 hour event, add 1 unit (3 total). If alcohol is served, add 1 more. One caller planned 1 unit for 100 guests — that unit would hit its rated use count in under 3 hours.

Do I need to be home when you deliver?

No. You don't need to be home if the placement spot is clear and easy to find. Tell us the exact spot ("left of the garage, on the gravel"), any gate code, and a phone number the driver can reach. Many renters text a photo of the spot.

Can someone else be the contact for delivery?

Yes. Add a second contact — the host, the homeowner, or the site super. The driver calls that person on the way. This helps when the unit goes to a different house than the person paying, which happens often with family parties and weddings.

I have a dog and an electric fence. Is that a problem?

No, just secure the dog during delivery and pickup. Our drivers carry the unit past fences and gates on foot. Let us know about invisible or electric fences so the crew doesn't trip the line or set the unit inside the dog's run.

Can you set up units for a church service or campground event?

Yes. Church events, campgrounds, and outdoor services are common orders. One church caller needed two units — one regular and one wheelchair-accessible — for a Sunday service; we delivered Friday and picked up Monday at no extra cost.

How much does it cost to rent a porta potty in Galveston?

A standard event porta potty starts at $249 for a weekend package, delivery and pickup included. A deluxe flushing unit with a sink starts at $286. Construction units start at $199 per 28-day cycle with weekly service. A $34.95 fuel surcharge and tax apply. Your quote lists every line.
