How Much Does a Porta Potty Cost Per Month?
Savannah customers pay 125 to 325 dollars a month for a standard porta potty rental, and that band covers everything from a bare-bones unit on a quiet lot to a busier site needing extra service visits. Compare that to daily rates of 100 to 350 dollars, shown on our porta potty rental per day page, and the math favors committing to a month if the job runs that long. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more, 150 to 290 dollars weekly, so a month of deluxe service sits well above standard pricing. Delivery adds 120 to 420 dollars for a month-long placement, and that fee is usually one-time, not repeated each week. Servicing follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the baseline portable sanitation standard, which sets one visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week as the standard interval. Busier construction crews or events often need more frequent pumping, which we scope during the quote. If you're weighing daily versus monthly, our porta potty rental cost page breaks down every duration side by side.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 100 | 150 | 350 |
| week | 130 | 200 | 500 |
| month | 125 | 200 | 325 |
Why Does Long Term Porta Potty Rental Cost Less Per Day?
A long term portable toilet rental spreads fixed costs, mainly delivery and pickup, across many more days of use, which drives the effective daily rate down the longer the unit stays. Delivery alone runs 100 to 500 dollars for a single day, per our measured data, but that same truck roll only costs 120 to 420 dollars when it's covering an entire month. Savannah job sites near Georgetown, 7.1 miles southwest, or Garden City, 7.5 miles north, often book monthly service specifically to avoid paying that delivery charge more than once. Construction crews follow this logic constantly: a construction site services contract typically locks in monthly units for the framing-through-finish stretch of a build, sometimes six months or more. Farms and agricultural operations do the same under OSHA 1928.110, which requires field sanitation with one facility per 20 hand-labor employees, reachable within a quarter mile walk, for the length of a harvest season. See our farm and agricultural restrooms page for how that ratio plays out on real acreage. Home renovation projects lasting a few months also fit this model well, and our home renovation porta potty guide covers typical timelines.
What Determines the Monthly Rate for a Portable Toilet?
Unit type, service frequency and site distance from Savannah all move the number. A standard porta potty rental with weekly service sits at the low end of the 125 to 325 dollar band, while an ADA accessible porta potty at 120 to 240 dollars weekly can push a monthly contract higher once you multiply that out. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, never fewer than one, so any multi-unit job site in Savannah needs to budget for that unit regardless of duration. Placement matters too. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet counts by crew size: one facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past that, and per 50 once you're at 200 or more. Our how many porta potties do i need guide walks through that math for mixed crew sizes. Distance from Savannah affects delivery too. Sites out past Pooler, 14.7 miles northwest, or Richmond Hill, 19.0 miles southwest, sometimes see a higher delivery fee than a job inside the city, since that cost band runs from 120 to 420 dollars depending on the route.
Can I Get a Monthly Rate for a Construction Site in Savannah?
Yes, and it's the most common monthly setup we quote. A framing crew or road crew in Savannah books a standard porta potty rental or two for the length of the job, paying the monthly rate instead of daily. Sites also need handwashing under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), which requires an adequate supply of potable water at all workplaces, so a handwashing station rental often rides alongside the toilet contract. If your crew is applying paints, coatings or similar contaminants, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) also kicks in and requires washing facilities for exactly that work. Larger sites sometimes pair a monthly toilet contract with a roll-off dumpster rental for debris, since OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris cleared from work areas as a matter of course. If a permanent restroom isn't practical, a restroom trailer rental covers longer stretches with more comfort, though trailer pricing runs well above a standard unit. We also handle temporary fence rental around active sites, and OSHA 1926.202 requires any barricades protecting workers to meet ANSI D6.1.
How long is a typical monthly rental commitment?
Most monthly contracts run job-length, not a hard 30-day minimum. Construction jobs often extend month to month for the length of the build, sometimes past six months, while a shorter renovation might only need six to eight weeks. We bill monthly once the job passes roughly three to four weeks.
Is monthly cheaper than renting by the week?
Yes, in almost every case. Weekly rates run 130 to 500 dollars depending on unit type, and stacking four weeks of that rate costs more than a single month at 125 to 325 dollars, since the delivery fee is not repeated each week.
Does a monthly rental include servicing?
Yes. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline of one service visit weekly for up to 10 users, and that's built into the monthly price. Heavier-use sites, larger crews, or events layered onto a job site may need extra visits, quoted separately.
Can I switch from daily to monthly mid-rental?
Usually, yes. If a short job turns into a longer one, we can convert the remaining time to a monthly rate rather than keep billing daily. Call before your invoice cycles so we can recalculate before the next charge posts.
What if my Savannah site needs more than one unit type?
Common on bigger builds. A site might pair a standard porta potty rental with an ADA accessible porta potty to meet ADA Standards section 213.2, plus a portable sink rental for handwashing. We quote mixed setups as one monthly invoice.
