How to Price Mobile Toilets
There are various pricing methods for mobile toilets, mainly including daily rental, tiered pricing based on the number of users, long-term rental package prices, additional service fees, and custom pricing for special scenarios.
Daily rental with a basic charge is a common approach, with significant price differences across regions and models. In Ji'an, the daily rental for a basic plastic mobile toilet (single stall) ranges from 150 to 300 yuan, while models with squatting or sitting toilets cost 200 to 400 yuan per day. For rentals exceeding 7 days, some merchants offer discount packages for 7 to 15 days, such as a 10% to 15% discount on the total price for a 10-day rental. In Jingdezhen, a single-person mobile toilet (with a flushing system) costs 150 to 300 yuan per day, while double-person or partitioned toilets cost 300 to 500 yuan per day. Some merchants offer discounts for rentals exceeding 3 days. Another claim states that the rental price for a basic model is 50 to 100 yuan per day, while a connected toilet for large events costs 150 to 300 yuan per day. High-end models with sinks and lighting cost 300 to 500 yuan per day, with discounts of 8% to 9% for bulk rentals of over 10 units.
Tiered pricing based on the number of users is suitable for high-traffic scenarios. When the number of daily users is between 50 and 100, the unit price is approximately 10 yuan per person. For over 100 users, there are tiered discounts: 8 yuan per person for 100 to 200 users, and 6 yuan per person for over 200 users.
Long-term rental package prices are for projects with continuous use of over one month, and package deals can be negotiated with merchants. Typically, for rentals exceeding 30 days, the daily rental can be reduced to 70% to 80% of the basic price. Some merchants also include free cleaning and regular maintenance services. For example, the total price for a 30-day rental is approximately 3000 to 4500 yuan (single stall), with specific prices adjusted according to the number of units and usage period.
Additional service fees include deposits, transportation fees, cleaning fees, and emergency repair fees. For deposits, in Ji'an, it is generally 30% to 50% of the total equipment price, while in Jingdezhen, it is usually 1 to 2 times the rental fee. Transportation fees are free within 5 kilometers in Ji'an, with an additional charge of approximately 50 to 100 yuan per kilometer beyond that. In Jingdezhen, transportation and installation within the urban area are usually included in the rental fee, with an additional charge of 50 to 100 yuan per kilometer for remote areas. Cleaning fees are 50 yuan per unit per day for daily cleaning in Ji'an, with an additional 100 yuan for deep cleaning. In Jingdezhen, cleaning services cost approximately 50 to 100 yuan each time. During the rental period, merchants usually provide free repairs for equipment failures, but users are responsible for repair costs for人为 (man-made) damage.
For custom pricing in special scenarios, in Ji'an, the daily rental for a multi-stall luxury model is approximately 400 to 600 yuan per unit, with an additional 50 to 100 yuan per day for night lighting and anti-slip design. Mobile service vehicles are charged approximately 200 to 300 yuan per trip. In Jingdezhen, renting special types of toilets or requiring special facilities costs 50% to 100% more than the basic model.
