Kitchen Trailer Rental Cost Calculator: Estimate Your Monthly Rental
Use this calculator to estimate a mobile kitchen trailer rental before you call, with dishwashing trailers, emergency refrigeration, and the rest of our inventory added as you need them. Pick your units, quantities, and rental length for a planned renovation or an emergency closure, and you'll see a preliminary monthly figure from our starting rates. Hospitals, schools, contractors, and caterers use it to budget. Delivery and setup are quoted for your site, and the 24/7 line can price an emergency on the spot.

Preliminary estimate from starting monthly rates on our current price list. It isn't a quote or a reservation. The final price depends on the unit assigned, your dates, and delivery to your site; utilities, water and wastewater, permits, fuel, and food aren't included.
How the estimate works
What the calculator counts, and what it doesn't
What it counts
- Each unit's starting monthly rate from our current price list, the same figure shown on its equipment page.
- The quantity of each unit you add.
- The number of months you choose. The estimate multiplies the monthly figure by your rental length.
What changes the final price
- Delivery, setup, and pickup, quoted for your address and route. Stairs take 5 to 15 minutes; a ramp takes 4 to 6 hours.
- Rental term. Rentals under a month and very long leases are priced in the quote.
- Not included: utilities, water and wastewater service, permits, fuel, and food supplies.
- Location doesn't change the equipment estimate; it affects delivery, which we quote separately.

Why food service teams choose Family Entertainment Group USA

You get help matching the trailer to your menu, staff, and site before anything ships.

Experienced Logistics Coordination
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
Why clients trust us
What you see is what we quote: a named trailer, its listed equipment, a starting monthly price, and a person on the phone any hour. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
Across the country
When kitchens go offline: five situations we plan for
These are the situations that usually lead to a call. Each one is a scenario to plan around, not a description of a specific customer.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
A long power outage can spoil a walk-in's contents and damage compressors. For a school district in Detroit Lakes, an emergency refrigeration trailer rental could hold product while the permanent unit is repaired.
2. Major construction
Large building projects sometimes need to feed crews or keep an occupied building's cafeteria running. A project in Cedar Key could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.
3. Kitchen renovation
Correctional kitchens can't pause meal service for a remodel. A facility serving Forks could run a 40 ft bulk kitchen trailer inside its secure perimeter for the length of the job.
4. Emergency equipment access
In a declared disaster, public emergency logistics run through state and county emergency management agencies and their staging areas. Our deliveries are arranged separately with you: we agree the route, the gate, and the placement for your site before the truck leaves.
5. What a rental costs
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage, $4,995 for a dish trailer, and $4,995 for a full kitchen trailer, by the month or the week. These starting rates apply in every location we serve. Delivery, setup, pickup, utilities, and permits are quoted for your address. Compare every unit's price or build an estimate in the rental calculator.
24/7 emergency line
Emergency kitchen rentals nationwide
A fire, flood, or failed hood can close a kitchen overnight. Call any hour and have ready: your address, meals per day, the date the kitchen went down, and the power and water available on site.
