How Much Is a Porta Potty Rental For a Day?
Porta potty rental prices per day for a standard porta potty rental in Savannah fall between $100 and $350, with most jobs settling around $150. That range covers a single unit picked up and dropped off the same day, which is common for a backyard project or a one-day work crew, and it is the porta potty rental price per day most homeowners budget for. Delivery is usually billed on top, and that fee typically runs $100 to $500 for a single day, driven mostly by distance. A crew working near Georgetown, about 7.1 miles southwest of Savannah, pays a different delivery cost than one working right downtown. Homeowners tackling a weekend project should check porta potty rental cost for the fuller cost breakdown, and anyone comparing rental lengths should look at monthly porta potty rental pricing before committing to a short-term rate that adds up over several weeks.
| unit | day | week |
|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 |
| deluxe flushable | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 |
| ADA accessible | $200-$400 | $200-$240 |
Notice the standard unit's day price can, in rare high-demand cases, approach its week price. That is not a typo. It reflects rush jobs, holiday weekends and units delivered on short notice. If your event or job runs more than two or three days, ask about the porta john rental weekly rate instead of booking day by day.
What Is Included In a One Day Porta Potty Rental?
A one-day rental includes the unit itself, delivery, pickup and one cleaning service before drop-off. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, standing roughly 92 inches tall. That footprint matters when you are placing a unit on a tight downtown Savannah lot or squeezing one into a driveway near Henderson, 9.7 miles west of the city. For events, event restroom rental day rates sit in a wider $200 to $800 band because organizers often want multiple units and faster turnaround. If you need something nicer than a standard stall, the deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism and interior sink, and pricing reflects that upgrade. Construction crews should also check whether OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) toilet counts apply. That rule requires one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, and scales up from there, so a single day rental for a small crew usually clears the requirement with one unit.
Why Does the Daily Rate Vary So Much?
The portable toilet rental cost per day moves with distance, unit type and how fast you need delivery. A same-day or next-day order costs more than a booking placed a week out, because the Savannah Porta Pros truck has to rearrange its route. Delivery fees for a single day range from $100 to $500 across measured jobs, and that spread is almost entirely distance and urgency, which is why porta potty daily rental cost quotes vary so much between two jobs of the same size. A job near Garden City, 7.5 miles north of Savannah, costs less to reach than one out past Pooler, 14.7 miles northwest, or Richmond Hill, a 19.0 mile drive southwest. Roll-off dumpster and fence rentals show the same pattern: a temporary fence rental at $30 to $75 per day depends on how many linear feet you need and how far the crew has to haul panels. If you are also clearing debris on a renovation site, a 10 yard dumpster rental can be scheduled alongside your toilet delivery to save a trip.
Placement matters too. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where portable units are clustered, at least 5 percent must be accessible, with a minimum of one unit. If your one-day job includes multiple stalls for a public event, factor an ADA accessible porta potty into the order from the start rather than adding one later at a rush fee.
Do I Need a Permit For a One Day Rental?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Savannah before delivery. Some private lots need nothing at all, but placement near a sidewalk, street or public easement often triggers a different rule than a driveway does. Rather than guess, check porta potty permit requirements before your delivery date, especially if the unit will sit anywhere visible from the street. This matters more for events than for a quiet backyard job. A festival restroom rental or wedding restroom rental booked for a public park or venue almost always needs sign-off, while a single unit on a private construction site usually does not. If you are unsure where your project falls, our contact page can route the question, or you can start with a request a quote and mention the address so placement gets checked before the truck rolls.
How much is a porta potty rental for one day in Savannah?
The porta potty rental cost for one day is $100 to $350 for a standard unit, with $150 typical once delivery is added. Deluxe and ADA units cost more. Distance from Savannah affects the delivery portion most, so a job near Montgomery, 12.7 miles southeast, may price slightly differently than one downtown.
Is a one day rental cheaper than a weekly rental?
Per day, yes, but the daily rate is not simply the weekly rate divided by seven. A standard unit's week price runs $130 to $500, so multi-day jobs almost always cost less per day than a true one-day booking.
Does the price include cleaning and pickup?
Yes. A one-day rental includes delivery, one service cleaning, and pickup the same day or next morning. Multi-day and weekly rentals add recurring service visits, which follow the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one visit per week for lighter use.
Can I get same-day porta potty delivery in Savannah?
Sometimes, depending on truck availability and distance. Same-day orders often carry a higher delivery fee than a booking placed a few days ahead. Check emergency porta potty rental if your need is urgent and same-day is required.
What size crew needs more than one unit for a day?
Under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), crews of 20 or fewer need one toilet facility. Above 20 workers, the ratio increases, so a larger one-day job may need two or more units. Use how many porta potties do I need to size the order correctly.
