How much is a porta potty rental for a day?
The porta potty rental cost per day depends on unit type and how far the truck has to drive. A standard porta potty rental covers most one-day jobs, from backyard projects to small work crews near downtown Salt Lake City. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more per day because it holds fresh water and a flush mechanism, not just a holding tank. If you need accessibility, an ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards 213.2, which requires at least 5 percent of clustered units to be accessible, and never fewer than one. Every standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, per our own measured specs. Delivery adds a separate fee, and that fee tends to run higher for single-day drops than for weekly ones since the truck makes the same trip twice in one day. Check porta potty rental prices per day for a fuller cost breakdown by unit and job type.
Porta potty rental price per day by unit
| unit | day rate |
|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 |
| deluxe | $85 - $1,200 |
| ada | $200 - $400 |
| delivery fee | $100 - $500 |
Pricing swings on unit condition, how many units you need, and distance from Salt Lake City. A job in South Salt Lake, 7.9 miles south, or Bountiful, 9.9 miles northeast, usually sits near the low end of the delivery fee band. Farther jobs, like Layton at 24.7 miles north, cost more to service same-day. For events instead of jobsites, see event restroom rental or festival restroom rental pricing, since a one day event rate differs from a construction day rate.
Why does a one day porta potty rental cost more per day than a weekly one?
Because the delivery and pickup trip gets charged against a single day instead of spread across five or seven. A porta potty rental per day quote covers one drop, one pickup, and one servicing, all inside 24 hours. Rent for a full week and that same delivery fee splits across more days of use, which is why monthly porta potty rental rates look even better per day. If your job runs longer than expected, ask about switching mid-rental instead of booking a second one-day unit. For weekend events, our weekend rate for a standard unit lands between 125 and 400 dollars, which is a different pricing structure entirely from the day rate. Home projects that stretch past a weekend often do better with home renovation porta potty service billed weekly.
What affects porta potty rental cost per day near me?
Distance from Salt Lake City, unit type, and how many units you order all move the price. A roll-off delivery, for comparison, needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a porta potty delivery has its own access needs worth mentioning when you book. If your crew works in Murray, 11.6 miles south, or Taylorsville, 10.9 miles south, factor drive time into your quote request. Job site toilet counts follow OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then additional fixtures as headcount climbs past 20 and again past 200. That standard drives how many units a construction site services quote calls for, not guesswork. Farm crews fall under a different rule, OSHA 1928.110, which sets one facility per 20 hand-labor employees within a quarter mile walk. If you are not sure how many units your crew needs, our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math, and OSHA portable toilet requirements covers the full citation.
Do I need a permit for a one day rental?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. If your unit sits on private property, permitting is less likely, but Salt Lake City rules can still apply depending on placement and job type. Check our porta potty permit requirements page before you commit to a spot, and review our porta potty placement guide for clearance and access notes. A stable, firm surface matters too: ADA Standards 302.1 calls for slip-resistant ground at accessible units, which matters even for a single-day drop on gravel or dirt.
How much is a porta potty rental for one day in Salt Lake City?
Standard units run 100 to 350 dollars for the day, with delivery billed separately at 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and access. Deluxe and ADA units cost more. Get an exact number through request a quote with your job address and unit count.
Is a weekend rate different from a daily rate?
Yes. Weekend pricing for a standard unit runs 125 to 400 dollars as a package, not a per-day multiple. It is built for two- or three-day events rather than single work days, so a Saturday-only job may still price better as a day rental.
Can I get same-day porta potty delivery?
Sometimes, depending on route and unit availability. Emergency requests are handled through emergency porta potty rental. Same-day service usually costs more since it disrupts a planned delivery route across Salt Lake City.
Does the day rate include servicing?
A single-day rental typically includes one servicing at pickup, not a mid-day cleaning. For jobs needing more frequent service, ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one visit per week for up to 10 users, which is the standard we build ongoing rental schedules around.
What is the cheapest way to rent for one day?
A standard unit close to Salt Lake City, with flexible delivery timing, keeps the delivery fee near the low end. Bundling multiple units on one delivery run also spreads that fee across more units. See porta potty rental cost for comparison across durations.
