What you're quoted is what you pay. Every time.
At Phil's, we price differently. The number you see is the number you pay — delivery, servicing, and pickup included. No add-ons. No line-item surprises. If we ever need to charge something extra, we explain it and get your approval first.
In Ely, IA, that approach has earned us a lot of repeat customers who got tired of being nickel-and-dimed by other companies.
Built for daily use by work crews. Heavy-duty construction, slip-resistant floors, ventilation that handles heat. Standard weekly servicing, with options for more frequent visits on larger sites.
Cleaner presentation for public-facing situations. These get extra attention before delivery — thorough cleaning, full restocking, cosmetic inspection.
Flushing toilets, interior lighting, and a more enclosed feel. Popular for weddings, parties, and events where you want guests to be comfortable.
Accessibility-compliant units with wider doors and interior grab bars. Required for many public events and permits.

Price is the first thing people ask about — and the most common source of frustration.
Here's the truth: portable restroom rental pricing varies based on unit type, rental duration, delivery distance, and service frequency. That's reasonable. What's not reasonable is hiding those variables in fine print and surprising customers on the invoice.
We don't do that. Our quotes include everything. If there's a factor that might affect cost — like a hard-to-access delivery location — we mention it during the quoting process, not after you've signed.
Is Phil's always the cheapest option? No. But we're always honest about what things cost and why. And for a lot of customers, that's worth more than saving $20 on a rental that comes with surprises.
