How much does shower trailer rental cost in San Bernardino?
Pricing depends on how long you need the unit and how many stalls it has. A day rate covers short jobs like a single disaster relief deployment or a one-day filming block. Weekly rates fit construction crews or work camps running longer. Event pricing covers multi-day festivals or tournaments where a trailer sits on-site the whole run. San Bernardino Porta Pros prices restroom trailer rental and shower units the same way: by duration and stall count, not a flat number.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 175 | 800 | 2500 |
| week | 150 | 1397 | 1650 |
| event (multi-day) | 2499 | 3500 | 3899 |
A delivery fee applies separately, and that fee typically runs higher for a single weekend than for a month-long placement, since the truck has to make a special trip either way. If you are comparing shower trailers against standard toilets for a work crew, check porta potty rental cost or porta potty rental per day before you decide which fits the budget.
Why rent a mobile shower trailer instead of a standard unit?
A shower trailer gives workers or guests a real stall, hot water, and a door that locks, which a standard portable toilet was never built for. Disaster relief camps, film sets running twelve-hour days, and construction crews housed on-site all need somewhere to actually clean up, not just relieve themselves. San Bernardino Porta Pros sets up mobile shower trailers for disaster relief sanitation work, for film set restroom rental crews, and for long-duration construction site services where a job runs weeks or months.
Compare that to a standard porta potty rental or a deluxe flushable porta potty, both of which handle toilet needs but not bathing. A shower trailer is its own category, closer in spirit to a luxury restroom trailer than to a single-stall unit. If your event needs both toilets and showers, pairing a shower trailer with a 2 stall restroom trailer or 4 stall restroom trailer covers both without crowding either.
What do I need to check before delivery?
Clearance is the first thing to sort out. A roll-off style delivery, which a shower trailer delivery resembles, needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to back in safely. Walk your site with that in mind before delivery day, especially if you are working a tight lot near downtown San Bernardino or a fairground layout like the kind used for county fair restrooms.
Water and power matter too. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at any place of employment, and a shower trailer needs a hookup or a filled tank to deliver that. If you are running the trailer off a generator or a temporary hookup, pair it with a temporary power pole or confirm capacity ahead of time, since undersized power is the most common on-site delay we see. Ground surfaces should also be stable and slip resistant under ADA Standards section 302.1, which matters if guests or workers are walking wet feet across gravel or mud to reach the trailer door.
If your site sits within the city, porta potty rental in San Bernardino covers delivery logistics for the wider service radius, including runs out to Colton 8.9 miles south, Highland 9.7 miles east, and Loma Linda 10.8 miles south. Muscoy sits just 4.7 miles west and often shares a delivery route with San Bernardino jobs on the same day.
Do shower trailers need a permit in San Bernardino?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. We have not verified a specific municipal code for shower trailer placement, so treat any city sidewalk or street closure as a question for the city, not an assumption. For jobs staged on private property, this rarely comes up, but a venue like a fairground or a downtown block may have its own rules worth a call ahead. If you are also renting a dumpster or fencing for the same job, dumpster permit requirements and porta potty permit requirements walk through the same gap in more detail.
Handwashing counts separately from showering under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and a towel or hand-drying device, not hand sanitizer alone. If your crew needs handwashing stations alongside the shower trailer, handwashing station rental and portable sink rental fill that gap without overloading the shower unit itself. For events expecting a mixed crowd, an ADA accessible porta potty unit should sit nearby too, since ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of portable facilities.
How many shower stalls do I need for my crew?
That depends on headcount and shift length, similar to toilet counts under OSHA 1926.51(c). A twenty-person crew working a single shift can usually share one or two stalls without a bottleneck. Larger crews or camps with overlapping shifts need more. Check how many porta potties do I need for the underlying math, since shower and toilet counts scale together.
Can I rent a shower trailer for just a weekend?
Yes. Weekend rentals run as a set rate rather than a per-day multiple, and that rate typically falls between 900 and 3000 dollars depending on trailer size. It is a common choice for weddings, festivals, or a single busy event where a full week isn't needed. See wedding restroom rental for pairing options.
Does a shower trailer need a dedicated water tank?
Most trailers run off an onboard tank or a hookup to a spigot. Either way, OSHA 1926.51(a)1) requires potable water on-site, and someone needs to confirm supply before the trailer arrives, not after.
What is the difference between a shower trailer and a restroom trailer?
A restroom trailer covers toilets and sinks. A shower trailer adds a bathing stall with running water, built for overnight camps or extended crews. Many jobs rent both; see restroom trailer rental for the toilet-only option.
Is delivery included in the shower trailer price?
No, delivery is billed separately from the trailer rate. Fees vary by distance and rental length, running higher for a short weekend job than for a month-long placement on one site.
