How Much Is a Porta Potty Rental For a Day?
Burbank Porta Pros prices day rentals for a standard porta potty rental between $100 and $350, and most jobs come in near $150. That number covers the unit itself. It usually does not cover delivery, and a delivery fee can run from $100 to $500 depending on how far out the site sits and how quickly you need the unit dropped. If you want something nicer than the basic box, a deluxe flushable porta potty day rate can run anywhere from $85 to $1,200, a wide spread because it includes everything from small sink-equipped units to full trailer-style setups. Need something for a wedding or a shoot instead of a job site? Check event restroom rental pricing, since event day rates are quoted differently than construction day rates. A single porta john rental for a weekend homeowner project usually costs less than a full week, but more per day than a month-long monthly porta potty rental would average out to.
What Affects Porta Potty Rental Prices Per Day?
Four things move the number: how many units, how far the delivery, how long you keep it, and what kind of unit. A portable toilet rental delivered 10 miles out costs more in fuel and drive time than one delivered a mile from the yard. West Hollywood sits 10.2 miles south of Burbank, and Beverly Hills is 12.0 miles southwest, distances that matter if a crew is renting from a Burbank-based company but working a job in either city. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, per industry spec, which is enough for roughly 10 users over a 40 hour week under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 service interval, so a single unit rented for a weekend usually does not need a mid-rental pump-out. If your crew is bigger, check how many porta potties do I need before you book. An ADA accessible porta potty day rate runs $200 to $400, higher than standard because of the larger footprint and ramp.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $240 - $400 | - |
| deluxe | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | - |
ADA weekly bookings run higher than a single day since the unit stays on site longer; ask Burbank Porta Pros to quote your specific dates.
Is a One Day Porta Potty Rental Cheaper Than a Weekend?
Not always, and often the opposite. A weekend rate for a standard unit typically runs $125 to $400, a bracket that reflects two or three days of use rather than one, so per-day cost usually drops compared to booking a single weekday. If your event runs Friday through Sunday, ask about weekend pricing directly rather than paying three separate day rates. Burbank Porta Pros treats Saturday-Sunday jobs and Friday-through-Monday jobs differently, so mention your exact dates when you request a quote. For construction crews working a short punch-list job, a single day still makes sense, and a home renovation porta potty rental is often booked this way. For festivals, marathons, or fairs, per-day math rarely applies the same way; see festival restroom rental or marathon and race restrooms for those use cases instead.
Do I Need a Permit For a One Day Rental in Burbank?
Placement on private property for a short job usually does not trigger the same review as placement in the public right of way. If your unit needs to sit on a sidewalk, street, or city easement, even for one day, that placement needs confirming with the City of Burbank before delivery. Burbank Porta Pros can flag this during scheduling, but the porta potty permit requirements page walks through what to check before your date is locked in. Construction sites still need to meet OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets toilet counts by crew size: one facility for 20 workers or fewer, then additional seats as headcount rises past 20 and again past 200. That rule applies whether you rent for one day or thirty. If your crew works with paints, coatings, or similar contaminants, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) also requires washing facilities, separate from the toilet count itself. Pair a handwashing station rental with your unit if that applies to your Burbank job site.
How much does a porta potty cost per day near me?
Expect $100 to $350 for a standard unit in Burbank, with delivery billed separately at $100 to $500. Exact cost depends on distance, unit type, and how soon you need it. Same-day requests often land at the higher end of that range.
Can I rent a porta potty for just one day?
Yes. Burbank Porta Pros delivers and picks up the same day or next day for short jobs. One-day rentals work well for small renovation projects, driveway pours, or single-day gatherings where a porta potty rental checklist helps you plan timing.
Is delivery included in the daily rate?
No. Delivery is billed as a separate fee, typically $100 to $500 depending on distance and scheduling urgency. Ask for a combined quote up front so the delivery charge does not surprise you on invoice day.
Does a one day rental include cleaning?
A single-day unit typically does not need a mid-rental service visit, since ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets weekly servicing as the standard interval for normal use. Units arrive cleaned and stocked for that day's job.
What is cheaper, daily or weekly rental?
Weekly rate divided across seven days almost always beats booking seven single days. If your Burbank job runs more than two or three days, compare against porta potty rental cost weekly figures before booking day by day.
