How are Mobile Toilets Charged
The charges for mobile toilets cover several aspects, including basic rental fees, deposits, transportation and installation fees, additional service fees, and surcharges for special requirements. Details are as follows:
Basic Rental Fees: When purchasing, there is a significant price range. The cheapest plastic simple models can be obtained for 600 yuan, suitable for temporary use on construction sites. High-end models with carved panels or microbial treatment, required for scenic spots, can cost over 80,000 yuan. When renting, ordinary models range from 30 to 300 yuan per day. For example, in Jingdezhen in 2026, the daily rental price for a single-person mobile toilet (with a flushing system) is approximately 150 - 300 yuan, while for double-person or partitioned toilets, it is about 300 - 500 yuan per day. For rentals exceeding 3 days, some merchants offer discounts.
Deposits: A deposit is usually charged when renting mobile toilets, typically amounting to 1 - 2 times the rental fee. For instance, in Jingdezhen, for a toilet rented for 3 days at 200 yuan per day, the deposit may range from 300 - 600 yuan. The deposit will be fully refunded upon return if the equipment is undamaged.
Transportation and Installation Fees: Transportation and installation within the city are usually included in the rental fee. However, if the rental location is far from the city (such as remote areas of scenic spots), an additional transportation fee may be required, generally ranging from 50 - 100 yuan per kilometer. Installation typically takes 1 - 2 hours, and for large events, advance reservations may be necessary.
Additional Service Fees: It is important to clarify whether the rental fee includes services such as delivery, installation, daily cleaning, and water replacement. Some merchants attract customers with low prices but charge additional fees for these services later. For example, in Jingdezhen, if additional services such as regular cleaning, replacement of toilet paper, and hand soap are required, additional fees may apply. Cleaning services cost approximately 50 - 100 yuan each time, and consumables like toilet paper and hand soap need to be purchased separately, costing about 20 - 50 yuan per day.
Surcharges for Special Requirements: If special types of toilets are rented, such as barrier-free mobile toilets, high-end toilets with air conditioning, or those requiring night lighting and rain shelters, the price will increase accordingly, possibly by 50% - 100% compared to the basic model.
