How Much Is a Porta Potty Rental for a Day?
Redmond Porta Pros prices a one-day rental by unit type first, then by delivery. Porta potty rental prices per day and porta potty rental price per day both come down to the same two numbers: the unit rate and the delivery fee, and the porta potty daily rental cost only makes sense once you add them together. A standard porta potty rental sits between $100 and $350 for a single day, with most Redmond jobs closer to the $150 mark. Need something nicer for a backyard event? A deluxe flushable porta potty day rate spans $85 to $1,200, a wide range because deluxe units vary a lot in features. An ADA accessible porta potty runs $200 to $400 for the day. None of these figures include delivery, which is billed separately and depends on how far the truck has to travel. A porta potty rental cost for one day quote should always list the unit rate and delivery fee as two separate lines. If your event sits in Union Hill-Novelty Hill, about 6.4 miles east of Redmond, or out toward Woodinville, 7.1 miles north, expect delivery pricing near the higher end of the band. Full detail on this lives on our porta potty rental cost page, and if your job runs longer than a day, our monthly porta potty rental page breaks down the better-value option.
What Drives the Daily Rate Up or Down?
Distance from base, unit type, and timing move the number more than anything else. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall on a 44 by 48 inch footprint, so trucks need clear ground and a real path to set it. Delivery fees for a single day range from $100 to $500, and that spread mostly reflects drive time. Redmond jobs near Issaquah, 13.1 miles south, or Bothell and Kenmore, both around 11 miles northwest, sit at a different delivery cost than a job inside city limits. Weekend rentals carry a separate premium rate rather than a simple day-rate multiple, so a Saturday-only event won't price the same as a weekday. If you're weighing a construction job against a private party, our construction site services page and event restroom rental page split out the two use cases in more depth. One-off jobs, like a home renovation porta potty rental, usually land at the lower end of the standard-unit band because there's no rush delivery involved.
Is a One-Day Rental the Cheapest Option?
Not always, and that surprises people. Once you add a delivery fee to a single day of use, the per-day cost can beat a weekly rate on paper but still cost more per use than a week-long booking would. A standard unit for a full week runs $130 to $500, and a lot of Redmond customers doing a multi-day project find the week rate absorbs the delivery cost better than paying it twice. If your event or job runs more than a day or two, it's worth comparing against our porta potty rental per day numbers against the weekly figures on our portable toilet rental page before committing. Emergency same-day bookings, covered on our emergency porta potty rental page, often carry the service fee premium too, since Redmond Porta Pros has to reroute a truck on short notice.
| unit | day | week |
|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $185 - $240 |
| deluxe | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 |
| delivery fee | $100 - $500 | $100 - $150 |
Do I Need More Than One Unit for a Single Day?
Depends on headcount and how many hours people are on site. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the construction benchmark: one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass that mark. A backyard party doesn't answer to OSHA, but the same logic holds; more guests means more units, or longer lines. Our how many porta potties do I need guide runs the math for different crowd sizes and event lengths. If the event includes anyone with a mobility need, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of portable toilets, no matter how small the group. Pair that with a handwashing station rental if food is being served; 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and a way to dry hands, not just sanitizer. For agricultural work in and around Redmond, OSHA 1928.110 sets a different standard: one facility per 20 hand-labor workers, within a quarter mile walk, which our farm and agricultural restrooms page covers directly.
How much is a porta potty rental for a day in Redmond?
Standard units run $100 to $350 for one day, deluxe units $85 to $1,200, and ADA units $200 to $400. Delivery is separate, from $100 to $500. Actual price depends on unit type, how far the truck travels, and whether it's a weekday or weekend booking.
Does the daily price include delivery and pickup?
No. Delivery is billed on its own, typically $100 to $500 for a single day depending on distance from Redmond and job timing. Ask for delivery and pickup together in your quote so there's no surprise line item on the invoice.
Is a weekend rental priced differently than a weekday?
Yes. Weekend porta potty pricing runs separately from the standard day rate, often in the $199 to $300 range for a single unit over the weekend. Booking early matters, since weekend slots fill faster than weekday ones for Redmond Porta Pros.
Can I rent just one porta potty for a single day?
Yes, for small gatherings a single unit works fine. Once your group passes roughly 20 people or spans several hours, check our porta potty rental checklist or placement guide before assuming one unit will cover the whole event.
What is cheaper, a day rental or a week rental?
Per unit, a day costs less up front, but a week runs $130 to $500 for a standard unit and only requires one delivery fee. For anything beyond a single day, the monthly porta potty rental or weekly option in portable restroom rental usually costs less per day used.
