How Much Is a Porta Potty Rental for a Day?
Daily rate depends on unit type more than anything else. A basic standard porta potty rental sits at the low end, while a deluxe flushable porta potty or an ADA accessible porta potty costs more because of the added plumbing and space. Lodi Porta Pros prices day rentals separately from week and month terms, because a single-day job doesn't get the volume discount a longer monthly porta potty rental does. If you're weighing a weekend event against a single workday, a Saturday-Sunday rental usually runs a flat rate rather than two day-rates stacked, so ask before you assume it doubles. For agricultural sites, OSHA 1928.110 sets the standard at one facility per 20 hand-labor employees within a quarter mile walk, which matters if you're staffing a vineyard crew near Woodbridge or Acampo for a single harvest day. Full breakdowns of every duration live on our porta potty rental cost page.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| ada | $200-$400 | $200-$400 | - |
| deluxe | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | - |
What Drives Porta Potty Rental Prices Per Day?
Delivery distance is the biggest swing factor. Lodi Porta Pros charges a delivery fee separate from the unit rate, and that fee runs $100 to $500 for a single day depending on the address. A job in Galt, 13.4 miles north of Lodi, costs more to service than one inside city limits, and Victor at 6.0 miles east sits closer to the low end of that range. Service fees for same-day or emergency drops add another $100 to $300 on top, which is why an emergency porta potty rental always costs more than a booking made a week out. Unit count matters too: renting five units for one event day isn't five times the single-unit price, since delivery and pickup get bundled into one trip. If you're planning a home renovation porta potty for a weekend project or a one-day construction site services job, ask for the bundled delivery number up front rather than per-unit delivery.
Is a One Day Porta Potty Rental Available on Short Notice?
Yes, but availability tightens fast on weekends and during harvest season. Lodi Porta Pros can usually place a standard porta potty rental same day or next day if the address is inside Lodi proper. Jobs further out, like Collierville at 8.9 miles north, need a bit more lead time because of drive distance. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall, footprint roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so check your site has clear ground access before the truck shows. A roll-off delivery for a same-day construction dumpster rental needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and that same clearance rule helps when a porta potty and a dumpster are both landing on one job site. If you're not sure how many units a one-day crew needs, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers above that.

Do I Need a Permit for a One Day Porta Potty Rental in Lodi?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day. If your unit sits on private property, like a driveway or a fenced job site, this usually isn't an issue, but curb or sidewalk placement is worth a call to the city first. Lodi Porta Pros can help flag whether your address needs a look, and our porta potty permit requirements page covers what to check before the truck rolls. For events expecting a crowd, pairing a temporary fence rental around the restroom area keeps foot traffic organized, and a porta potty placement guide can help you pick a spot that doesn't need a right-of-way conversation at all. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, be accessible, so a single-day event with several units still needs one ADA unit in the mix. For farm sites, our farm and agricultural restrooms page covers hand-labor housing rules in more depth. Weddings, festivals and one-day races each carry different placement needs too. See event restroom rental, wedding restroom rental, or marathon and race restrooms for specifics on those setups, and check service areas if your event sits outside Lodi proper.
How much is a porta potty rental for a day near Lodi?
A single standard unit typically runs $100 to $350 for the day, with delivery charged separately at $100 to $500 depending on distance. Addresses closer to Lodi, like Acampo at 5.5 miles north, generally see lower delivery costs than sites further out toward Galt.
What's included in the daily rental price?
The unit itself, delivery, pickup and one cleaning are standard. Handwashing isn't automatically bundled in; add a handwashing station rental if your crew needs it, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not sanitizer alone.
Is renting for one day cheaper than a weekend?
Not always. A weekend often runs as a flat rate rather than two stacked day-rates, so a two-day weekend event might cost less per day than booking two separate single days. Ask Lodi Porta Pros for the weekend number directly.
Does a one-day rental include an ADA unit?
Not automatically. You need to request an ADA accessible porta potty specifically, and ADA Standards section 304.3.1 requires a 60 inch turning circle inside the unit, which takes more footprint than a standard model.
Can I rent just one porta potty for a small job?
Yes. A single porta john rental works fine for small crews or short home projects. For anything larger than a handful of workers, check OSHA portable toilet requirements or visit our Contact page to talk through your crew size.
