Honest about distance
Do you offer porta potty rental in King City?
Yes. Porta potty rental in King City runs from our Salinas yard, about 47 miles north on Highway 101. The drive takes roughly 50 minutes each way. King City is the southern edge of our regular routes, so the quote can carry a longer-distance delivery line. That line is shown before you pay.
| Town | Miles from our yard | Drive time | Delivery line |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gonzales | About 17 | About 20 min | Standard |
| Soledad | About 25 | About 30 min | Standard |
| Greenfield | About 33 | About 35–40 min | Standard |
| King City | About 47 | About 50 min | May include a longer-distance line |
Tip: Need units at more than one King City spot? Ask on the call how grouping them on one trip changes the delivery line.
Distances are approximate highway miles. Exact mileage to a ranch on Jolon Road or Highway 198 is checked when you call.
Weather
How does King City summer heat change porta potty placement?
King City has the hottest summers on our routes, with long stretches of dry, sunny days from June to October. Heat speeds up tank odor. Shade within about 15 feet of the truck helps most. Weekly service is included on 28-day rentals; if a busy unit needs more, ask on the call.
- Place units in shade when shade is within about 15 feet of the truck
- Doors face away from the afternoon northwest wind
- Crew over 20 workers? Add units to match the 1-per-20 rule
- Hand sanitizer refilled each service; add a handwash station for food or field work
- Free combination lock for units left on open lots overnight
Most King City rain falls from November to March. In those months, set units on gravel or pavement, not bare dirt.
Fair season
How many porta potties do I need for the Salinas Valley Fair or a fairgrounds event?
The Salinas Valley Fair runs 4 days each May at the King City fairgrounds. The 82nd fair ran May 14–17, 2026. Fairgrounds vendors should confirm restroom counts with the fair office first. For private events, our planning guideline is 1 unit per 50 guests for up to 4 hours.
| Guests (4-hour event) | Standard units | If alcohol is served | Wheelchair-accessible (public event) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 1 | 2 | 1 of those units |
| 100 | 2 | 3 | 1 of those units |
| 250 | 5 | 6 | 1 of those units |
| 500 | 10 | 12 | 1 of those units (5% minimum, at least 1) |
The accessible count follows 2010 ADA Standards §213.2: at least 5% of portable units in each cluster, minimum 1. Your venue or permit office decides compliance.
Permits
Do I need a King City permit for a porta potty at an event?
A public event in King City needs a Special Event Permit through the Police Department, and a Temporary Use Permit goes through City Hall. King City asks for both applications at least 30 calendar days before the event. A porta potty in a backyard or private lot needs no city permit.

Why does King City cost more to deliver than Salinas?

What does a weekend unit for a King City party cost?

Can you come the same day to King City?
Sometimes, on a weekday when a southbound truck has room. Call before 10 a.m. A rush fee applies, and same-day emergency fees on recent quotes could exceed $200. Booking 2 business days ahead avoids it.
How often will you service a unit at my King City ranch?
Once a week on the 28-day cycle: pump, scrub, fresh deodorizer, 2 rolls of toilet paper and sanitizer refill. Sporadic sites can go every other week. If a busy ranch needs more, ask on the call.
Do you deliver out Jolon Road toward Fort Hunter Liggett?
Ranches along Jolon Road are on our King City route; send a map pin. Sites inside a military base set their own access rules, so check gate access with the base before you book.
Can I rent units for a Salinas Valley Fair vendor booth?
Yes, if the fair office allows outside units at your spot. Confirm with the fairgrounds first, then book early. Fair week falls in May, and units drop the business day before.
Do you service King City on a set day?
Weekly service for 28-day rentals is scheduled on our route, Monday through Friday. The exact day can shift with the route. Tell us if your gate is only open on certain days.
