A weekend rental in Durham typically runs in that 900 to 3,000 dollar band, priced separately from the day and week columns since it's a short-burst rate. Delivery adds a fee on top, and that fee scales with distance: Durham Porta Pros already routes to Gorman 8.3 miles northeast and Chapel Hill 9.6 miles southwest, so a job past city limits isn't unusual.

Most shower trailers built for job sites and disaster work carry individual stall units, a water heater, and a holding system sized for the crew using it. A standard portable toilet on the same job typically holds 60 to 70 gallons in its tank, and shower trailers scale that capacity up depending on stall count, since shower use runs heavier than toilet use per person. Durham Porta Pros configures trailers with separate men's and women's sides on larger units, plus lockable stalls and non-slip flooring.
If you need restrooms alongside the shower trailer, pair it with a 2 stall restroom trailer, a 4 stall restroom trailer, or an 8 stall restroom trailer depending on crew size. Some crews go bigger and quieter with a luxury restroom trailer for a wedding or corporate event instead of a bare-bones unit. ADA-accessible layouts follow ADA Standards section 304.3.1, which calls for a 60 inch turning circle, and section 404.2.3, which sets minimum clear door opening width at 32 inches. Durham Porta Pros can also route you to an ADA accessible porta potty if a standalone accessible unit fits the site better than a full trailer.
Disaster relief crews, long-haul construction jobs, farm labor camps and multi-day festivals are the usual callers. A crew rebuilding after storm damage needs disaster relief sanitation fast, and a shower trailer often gets bundled with a handwashing station rental and a few standard porta potty rental units to cover a whole crew. Agricultural operations fall under OSHA 1928.110, which requires potable water, toilets and handwashing for hand-labor employees, with facilities placed within a quarter mile walk. That standard is why farm and agricultural restrooms jobs in Durham often add a shower trailer when workers are on-site for full growing seasons.
Construction sites lean on OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets toilet counts by crew size: one facility for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there. A shower trailer isn't required by that rule, but crews doing dirty, physical work request one anyway to keep morale up on long construction site services jobs. Film productions and remote event sites in Durham book shower trailers for the same reason: nobody wants a 12 hour day with no way to clean up before driving home.
Yes. Weddings, festivals and multi-day races in Durham and towns like Morrisville, 13.5 miles south, book shower trailers when guests or crews are on-site overnight. A wedding restroom trailer booking sometimes adds a shower unit for a bridal party getting ready on location, and festival restroom rental planners use them for staff and performers who camp on-site through a multi-day run. Golf tournaments and county fairs rarely need showers, but marathon organizers running point-to-point courses sometimes do, especially for volunteer camps near the finish line; see marathon and race restrooms for restroom-side planning.
Durham Porta Pros also handles Chapel Hill, Carrboro (13.3 miles west) and Apex (23.7 miles south) for the same event and disaster work. Delivery for a roll-off style trailer or shower unit needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so tight venue driveways in Durham should get flagged during the quote call. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before drop-off; that's not something to guess on. Check service areas for the full coverage map, or start with a request a quote call to get exact routing and setup worked out.
Anywhere from a single day to several weeks. Day rates run 175 to 2,500 dollars, week rates run 150 to 1,650 dollars, and longer disaster-response or construction jobs get quoted on a custom timeline. Ask Durham Porta Pros about extending mid-rental if the job runs long.
Most units need a power source to run the water heater and lighting. Durham Porta Pros can pair a trailer with a temporary power pole or generator setup if the site has no existing hookup. Confirm amperage needs when booking.
No. A restroom trailer is built around toilets and sinks; a shower trailer is built around stalls and a water heater. Some units combine both. Compare options on the restroom trailer rental page before deciding which fits your job.
It depends on headcount and how many people need to shower in a given window. A 2-stall unit suits a small crew; larger disaster or festival jobs need 4 or more stalls. Use the how many porta potties do I need guide as a starting point for crew-size math.
