How much does a porta john rental cost in Savannah?
Price depends on the unit, the length of the rental and where the site sits. A standard porta potty rental runs $100 to $350 a day, $130 to $500 a week, and $125 to $325 a month when you commit longer. Weekend events land between $125 and $400, which covers most backyard parties and one-day festivals. Delivery is usually billed separately, from $100 to $500 depending on distance and truck access. If you want something nicer than a job-site unit, a deluxe flushable porta potty runs $85 to $1200 a day or $150 to $290 a week, and it is closer to what people mean by luxury porta john rental. ADA units are required on most job sites and run $200 to $400 a day. For a full breakdown by duration, see porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day. Anyone booking past a month should check monthly porta potty rental pricing before signing, since long jobs change the math.

What size is a standard porta john unit?
A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank inside. That tank size sets the service interval: ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week, so a crew of 15 needs more frequent pumping or a second unit. This matters whether you are running a downtown Savannah build or a farm site outside Georgetown, 7.1 miles southwest of the city. If you are not sure how many units your headcount needs, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through it, and OSHA portable toilet requirements covers the ratio rules in plain terms. For ADA compliance specifically, ada restroom requirements breaks down clearance and reach dimensions.
Do construction sites in Savannah need a certain number of units?
Yes. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, dropping to one per 50 workers at 200 or more. That rule applies to job sites across Savannah and out to Pooler, 14.7 miles northwest, the same way it applies anywhere else. General industry sites use a different standard, OSHA 1910.141(c)(1)(i), so confirm which one applies before you order. Where crews are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of toilets, not instead of them. Soap and towels matter too: 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires actual soap and a drying method, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. Pair your porta john rental order with a handwashing station rental to cover both requirements at once, and check handwashing requirements if you are unsure what your site needs. Farm operations fall under a separate rule, OSHA 1928.110, which sets one facility per 20 hand-labor employees within a quarter mile walk; see farm and agricultural restrooms for details.
Where should units be placed on site?
Placement depends on ground surface, access width and whether the unit needs to be accessible. ADA Standards section 403.5.1 requires a 36 inch clear route to the unit, and section 404.2.3 sets the minimum door opening at 32 inches. Where several single-user units are clustered, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent to be accessible, never fewer than one. The ground itself has to hold up: ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces, which rules out soft grass or loose gravel for an accessible unit. Ramps, if used, cannot exceed a 1:12 slope under section 405.2. For a full walkthrough of where units belong relative to entrances, parking and work zones, see the porta potty placement guide. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city directly. Savannah Porta Pros can flag likely trouble spots during a site visit, but the porta potty permit requirements page is the place to start before you commit to a layout. Events at fairgrounds or race routes often need a different plan than a fixed job site; check event restroom rental for that side of things.
What is the difference between a porta john and a porta potty?
Nothing. Both terms describe the same portable toilet unit; "porta john" is regional phrasing more common in the northeast and Midwest, including porta john rental Chicago and porta john rental NJ markets, while "porta potty" dominates in the south. Savannah Porta Pros uses both terms interchangeably and the units themselves do not change.
How often does a porta john get serviced?
Standard service follows a weekly baseline per ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week. High-traffic events or larger crews need two or three visits a week. See how often are porta potties cleaned for a fuller answer.
Can I get a luxury porta john for a wedding?
Yes. A deluxe flushable unit runs $85 to $1200 a day depending on features, and restroom trailers go further for weddings that want climate control and multiple stalls. Check wedding restroom rental and luxury restroom trailer for options beyond a standard unit.
Do I need a permit to place a unit in Savannah?
It depends on where the unit sits. Placement on private property is usually straightforward, but right-of-way placement needs confirming with the city. Start with porta potty permit requirements before delivery day.
What is the delivery radius from Savannah?
Savannah Porta Pros delivers within the city and to nearby towns including Garden City, 7.5 miles north, and Henderson, 9.7 miles west. Delivery fees run $100 to $500 depending on distance and site access; see service areas for the full list.
