Shower trailer rental in Evanston runs from a single-stall day rate near the standard unit range up through multi-week event packages, with most trailer bookings landing in the 175 to 2,500 dollar day-rate band depending on stall count and finish level. Evanston Porta Pros delivers, sets up and services the unit. This page covers sizing, hookups and what a rental week actually looks like.
Price depends on stall count, trip length and whether you need a generator or can tie into shore power. A short weekend booking for a small unit sits well under a week-long lease of a multi-stall trailer, and event-length bookings for large festivals price differently than a single job site. Evanston Porta Pros quotes against the job, not a flat sheet, because a wedding at a private residence and a marathon staging area near Northbrook, 12.2 miles northwest, pull very different equipment.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 175 | 800 | 2500 |
| week | 150 | 1397 | 1650 |
| weekend | 900 | 2000 | 3000 |
| event | 2499 | 3500 | 3899 |
These bands come from measured rental data, not a list price, so treat the typical column as a planning number and get a firm quote before you budget the job. For a broader look at how these numbers compare against standard units, see porta potty rental cost in Evanston and monthly porta potty rental if the job runs long. If your event also needs toilets alongside the shower unit, the restroom trailer rental page breaks down stall configurations side by side.
A shower trailer rental from Evanston Porta Pros arrives with the plumbing, water heating and interior finish already built in. Stall count is the first decision: a small crew job might only need a couple of stalls, while a multi-day event in Evanston benefits from a larger bank of showers to keep lines short. We size the unit the same way we size fixture counts on a portable toilet rental job, matching capacity to headcount and usage window.
Hookups matter more than people expect. Most trailers need either a hose bib feed or a water tank fill, plus a power connection, and if shore power is not available we can run the unit off a generator, similar to how we pair a light tower rental or temporary power pole with a job site that has no permanent electrical. ADA Standards section 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch turning circle in accessible spaces, and ADA Standards section 404.2.3 sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening, both of which apply if you are requesting an accessible stall configuration; pair that spec conversation with our ADA accessible porta potty page for how we handle accessible units on the same site.
Interior amenities range from a basic stall setup similar in feel to a deluxe flushable porta potty up to a fully finished trailer built for a wedding party or corporate hospitality tent. For events that also need handwashing separate from the shower stalls, add a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental to the order.
Placement depends on ground stability, clearance for the delivery truck and access to a water and power source. ADA Standards section 302.1 requires floor and ground surfaces to be stable, firm and slip resistant, so we look at the pad before delivery, not after. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a shower trailer needs a similar approach path, so tight urban lots in Evanston sometimes require a site visit before we confirm a spot.
If you are also renting a temporary fence rental or chain link temporary fence around the equipment cluster, we plan the shower trailer's door swing and step access into that layout so guests are not squeezed between fence line and trailer wall. Our porta potty placement guide covers the same ground-clearance and grade questions in more depth, and it applies just as much to a shower trailer as to a standard unit.
Placement in the public right of way in Evanston needs confirming with the city before we deliver; we do not guess at that one. If your job also needs a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental on site, we can plan a shared delivery window to cut down on truck trips across a tight lot.
Permit rules vary by lot, by duration and by whether the unit sits on private property or touches the right of way, so we always confirm current requirements with the City of Evanston before delivery rather than assume last year's rule still applies. Longer jobs, like a home renovation site running a shower trailer alongside a home renovation porta potty for months, sometimes trigger a different review than a one-weekend event. We check both before we schedule.
Event organizers running a wedding restroom rental, a festival restroom rental, or staging for a marathon and race restrooms job near Wilmette, 4.1 miles northwest of Evanston, should loop us in early so we can flag any permit lead time before the date locks. Our porta potty permit requirements page walks through the general process, and it applies to shower trailers on the same lot.
It depends on headcount and how long people are on site. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet counts by worker count on construction sites, and we use a similar ratio logic for shower stalls: more heads, more stalls, shorter wait times. Ask us for a headcount-based recommendation before you book.
Yes. Most trailers carry their own water tank and heater, and we can pair the unit with a generator if there is no shore power on site. Tell us your site's power situation when you request a quote and we will size the setup around it.
Setup time depends on ground prep and hookup type, but our crew handles leveling, water connection and power tie-in on delivery day. Confirm your pad and access path with us in advance so the truck has clear room to back in.
Yes, though many units combine both. A dedicated shower trailer focuses on stall showers and water heating, while a restroom trailer prioritizes toilet and sink fixtures. Check our 2 stall restroom trailer and 4 stall restroom trailer pages if you need both functions on one unit.
Day rentals exist for short jobs, but most shower trailer bookings run a full weekend or week because setup and breakdown take real time. Ask about our week and event rate bands when you request a quote, since longer bookings often price better per day than a single-day rental.
Yes. Evanston Porta Pros delivers shower trailer rental across Evanston and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
