How much does a shower trailer rental cost in Kendall?
Price depends on stall count, trip length, and whether power and water are already on site. A basic trailer day rate starts near the low end of the band and a full weekend can run into the thousands for a larger unit, since weekend and event pricing carries a premium over a single day. Weekly rentals for longer construction jobs or disaster response work land in a different bracket entirely. If you are comparing this against a standard portable toilet rental or wondering whether a restroom trailer makes more sense for your headcount, the deciding factor is usually whether people need to actually bathe, not just use a toilet. Check current numbers on our restroom trailer rental cost page before you commit to a stall count.
| unit | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| trailer | day | 175 | 800 | 2500 |
| trailer | weekend | 900 | 2000 | 3000 |
| trailer | week | 150 | 1397 | 1650 |
| trailer | event | 2499 | 3500 | 3899 |
Delivery is billed separately and Kendall Porta Pros will quote it once we know your street address and how far the truck has to travel within Kendall.
What comes inside a mobile shower trailer?
Most units we place in Kendall have individual stalls with a door, a bench, and hot water on demand, built for crews or guests who need more than a portable shower bag. A standard trailer stall gives you privacy behind a full door, unlike an open-air rig, and that matters for disaster relief camps, film sets, or multi-day festivals where people are living on site. If your event only needs handwashing and not full bathing, a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental is a cheaper fit. For jobs that need both toilets and showers, we often pair a shower trailer with a 4 stall restroom trailer or an 8 stall restroom trailer so foot traffic does not bottleneck at one unit. ADA Standards section 403.5.1 calls for a 36 inch clear route to any accessible unit, and ADA Standards section 404.2.3 sets a 32 inch minimum door opening, both of which we account for when a job needs an ADA accessible porta potty alongside the shower trailer. We also stock a luxury restroom trailer line for weddings and corporate events where the shower trailer is a bonus amenity rather than the main draw.
Do I need a permit to place a shower trailer in Kendall?
Placement in the public right of way or on a job site with inspections pending needs confirming with the City of Kendall before delivery day, since we were not able to verify a specific local ordinance for this page. That is not us dodging the question, it is us telling you to call ahead rather than guess. Our porta potty permit requirements page walks through the general logic, and the dumpster permit requirements page covers the parallel situation for roll-off placement, which follows a similar city review pattern. If your shower trailer is going on private property, like a residential driveway for a home renovation porta potty job, permitting is usually simpler than a street closure for a race or festival. We handle a lot of event restroom rental work for weddings near Pinecrest, 3.5 miles east of Kendall, and those bookings almost always need a site plan reviewed before the trailer rolls in.
Where can a shower trailer be delivered in Kendall?
Anywhere with a stable, level pad and enough clearance for our truck. ADA Standards section 302.1 requires the ground surface under an accessible unit to be stable, firm, and slip resistant, which is also just good sense for any trailer carrying water weight. We ask for roughly the same straight clearance behind the truck that a roll-off delivery needs, about 60 feet, so the driver can back in without threading through parked cars or tight gates. Kendall Porta Pros services the immediate area and nearby communities including Palmetto Bay, 5.6 miles southeast, and South Miami, 6.2 miles northeast, along with Coral Gables at 7.9 miles east and Cutler Bay at 8.6 miles south. See the full list on our service areas page. If your event runs multiple days and needs a light source after dark, pair the trailer with a light tower rental, and if the site has no power hookup, ask about a temporary power pole for the water heater. For questions specific to hookups and drainage, our construction site services page covers what a typical job site setup looks like start to finish.
Do shower trailers need a dedicated water hookup?
Most trailers we deliver run off an onsite garden hose bib or a filled fresh water tank if no hookup exists. Grey water drains to a holding tank that we pump out on schedule, similar to how we manage a holding tank rental for jobs without sewer access. Ask about your site's water pressure before booking.
How many shower stalls do I need for a work crew?
It depends on crew size and shift length, but OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet ratios by headcount that give a rough sense of scale, one facility per 20 workers or fewer. For a firmer number specific to your crew, use our how many porta potties do I need guide as a starting point, then add shower capacity on top.
Can a shower trailer run without a generator?
Yes, if the site has standard power nearby, though many of our Kendall deliveries still bring a generator as backup. Water heating draws the most power, so a stalled generator mid-shower is the main risk we plan around on every job.
Is a shower trailer different from a portable shower unit?
Yes. A trailer has multiple enclosed stalls, plumbing, and a water heater built in, while a portable shower is usually a single unit. If you only need one shower for a small crew, ask us directly, since our stocked inventory leans toward multi-stall trailers.
How long does delivery and setup take in Kendall?
Setup usually takes under two hours once the trailer is on site and leveled, assuming water and power are ready. Request a quote through our request a quote page and we will confirm a delivery window based on your address and job start date.
