How to read the San Rafael list
Two have a yard in San Rafael; the remaining 5 cover it from somewhere else. Bay Area Sanitation is both the best-rated and the most-reviewed of them, at 5.0 across 251 Google reviews. Between them they advertise standard portable toilet, hand-wash station, flushing unit, restroom trailer and ADA accessible unit. If your job needs something outside that, ask when you call, or widen the search to the nearby towns below.
What does a porta potty cost in San Rafael, CA?
Expect a quoted price instead of a published one. That is how the trade works: of the 1,976 operator websites we read, very few post a rate at all. Call two or three and ask each of them the same four things: which unit, how long, how often they service it, and what delivery costs. Know the ballpark first: California rates, and what each unit type goes for nationally.
What kinds of unit can you rent in San Rafael?
Counted from each operator's own website. A missing bar means the unit went unmentioned, which is weaker evidence than it looks.
- Standard portable toilet 3 of 7
- Hand-wash station 2 of 7
- Flushing unit 2 of 7
- Restroom trailer 1 of 7
- ADA accessible unit 1 of 7
Restroom trailers are a different product from a portable toilet, with mains or tank water and climate control, priced accordingly. More than half the operators we read list one, but nobody publishes how many they hold.

Common questions about porta potty rental in San Rafael, CA
- How many porta potty companies serve San Rafael?
- We list 7 independently owned companies serving San Rafael, 2 of them based in town. The list is free to appear on and placement cannot be bought, so the order tells you something.
- Are there ADA units available in San Rafael?
- 1 of the 7 companies serving San Rafael says it rents ADA accessible units. A blank against a company is not proof they lack one, only that their website does not say so.
- Are restroom trailers available in San Rafael?
- 1 of the 7 companies serving San Rafael lists restroom trailers. Trailers need a tow vehicle, a level pad and often a power hookup, so ask what the site has to provide before you book one.
- How much does it cost to rent a porta potty in San Rafael?
- From the minority of operators who post prices: standard units $110 to $170 a month, ADA $135 to $290 a month. Trailer pricing hangs on station count, so we don't pretend it averages. In San Rafael the quote turns on which unit, for how long, and how often the truck comes. Get the servicing schedule in the quote. A cheap monthly rate with every-other-week pump-outs is not cheaper than a more expensive one serviced weekly.
- Which is the best porta potty company in San Rafael?
- Basin and Loo ranks first in San Rafael on our Index Score, at 81 out of 100, weighing review volume, rating, unit coverage and how easy they are to reach. On other measures: Bay Area Sanitation holds the highest rating at 5.0 across 251 reviews. Unit coverage is a third of that score, because the yard with a trailer and an ADA unit can take jobs the others cannot.
- Do I have to use a company from outside San Rafael?
- 2 of the 7 companies we list are based in San Rafael itself; the rest are within 25 miles. A yard one town over holds the same licences and often quotes the same. Address alone is a weak reason to rule one out.
- How many porta potties do I need in San Rafael?
- Events size at a unit per 50 guests for a four-hour run, and drinks add another 15–20% to the count. A 200-guest event in San Rafael running six hours works out at 5 units, or 6 once drinks are served, and at least one of those should be accessible — 1 of the 7 companies here lists an ADA unit. On a construction site the count comes from 29 CFR 1926.51(c), which requires one toilet up to 20 workers and a seat plus a urinal per 40 after that. Work it out for your numbers.
