Frequently asked questions
Is this service free?
Yes. Requesting quotes costs you nothing and carries no obligation. You only pay if you book, at the price in your quote.
How soon can I get a unit?
It depends on availability, your location and the unit type. Short-notice requests may be possible, but busy seasons and big events book up, so ask for quotes early.
Do I need a permit in Boston?
It depends on where the unit goes. A public sidewalk or street may require a City of Boston permit. Check with Boston Public Works and confirm placement when you book. Other towns have their own rules, so check locally.
How many units do I need?
It depends on headcount, event length and whether alcohol is served. See the guide above for rough rules of thumb, and confirm the count with your quote. Construction sites have OSHA minimums based on the number of workers.
What's included in service?
It varies, so confirm it in your quote. Rentals commonly cover delivery and pickup, plus scheduled cleaning and restocking on longer rentals. Ask about service frequency, delivery fees and any damage or after-hours charges.
