“How much does it cost to rent a porta potty?” is the question we hear most — and the honest answer is it depends. Price moves with the type of unit, how long you keep it, how often it’s serviced, and where it’s going. Below are the typical ranges and what drives them. For your exact number, see our pricing or request a quote.
What Determines the Price
- Unit type — a standard unit costs far less than a flushing unit or a full restroom trailer.
- Rental length — a one-day event, a weekend, and a months-long construction rental are priced differently (longer terms lower the daily rate).
- Servicing — how often the unit is pumped and restocked; weekly service is standard for longer rentals.
- Delivery & location — distance to your site and access affect the delivery fee.
- Add-ons — hand-washing stations, ADA units, and extra servicing add to the base.

Ways to Keep Costs Down
- Right-size the order. Don’t over-book — our how-many-do-you-need guide helps you land on the correct count.

- Bundle hand-washing and servicing into one order rather than adding them later.
- Go longer-term for job sites — monthly rates beat repeated short rentals.
