What additional fees should I expect beyond the trailer rental?

Common additional fees include delivery/pickup ($100-400+ based on distance), generator rental if needed ($150-400), extended rental periods (50-75% of daily rate per extra day), attendant service ($200-400), and excessive cleaning fees if applicable.

Is renting a restroom trailer worth the cost compared to porta potties?
