How much does a porta potty rental cost in College Station?
Most people renting a single standard porta potty pay a day, week or month rate plus a delivery fee. The unit is about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits most yards and job sites. If you want flushing, look at the deluxe flushable unit. If you need wheelchair access, see the ADA accessible option. Larger crews and events usually move up to a restroom trailer. Here is a plain look at what these rentals cost, from the price for portable toilet rental to how much does portable toilet rental cost on a longer job, before you request a quote. If you want to rent a portable restroom or a port o john rental instead, the same rates apply, and if you rent porta potty prices by the day the daily rate page goes deeper, and monthly pricing covers longer jobs.
What is the full price table?
Rates below sit inside real measured bands. Delivery, service and pickup are listed as their own lines because they are billed separately from the unit rate.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| Deluxe flushable | $250 | $290 | n/a |
| ADA | $200 | $230 | n/a |
| Restroom trailer | $800 | $1,397 | n/a |
| Delivery fee | $100 | $120 | $172 |
| Service fee | $100 | $120 | $150 |
Weekend rates work differently since they are a short-term premium. A standard unit over a weekend runs about $250, an ADA unit around $240, and a restroom trailer near $2,000. For fuller detail see the porta potty rental cost guide and the trailer cost page. Pickup is usually folded into the service or delivery line rather than billed twice.
What moves the porta potty price up or down?
Distance is the first thing. We are based in College Station, and a drop in Bryan 11.0 miles northwest costs less to reach than Snook 15.9 miles southwest or Tunis 18.0 miles west. Rental length matters next. A monthly rental spreads the delivery cost thin, while a single day rental does not. Service frequency counts too. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and more traffic means more visits. Unit type drives the rest. Flushing, sinks and handwashing stations add cost. So does ADA compliance, since those units need a 60 inch turning circle under ADA Standards section 304.3.1. Placement plays in as well, covered on the placement guide.
Why does delivery cost extra?
Delivery is a real line item because a truck, a driver and fuel go into every drop. The fee covers bringing the unit out and setting it level and firm, which ADA Standards section 302.1 requires for a stable, slip resistant surface on accessible units. We serve Lake Bryan 16.0 miles northwest and Clay 25.1 miles south, and the farther the haul, the higher the delivery line. That is why the delivery fee sits separate from the unit rate on your quote. Bundling several units into one trip lowers the per-unit cost, which is how construction site services and event restroom setups come in cheaper per stall. If you cancel or add units after the truck rolls, a second trip carries its own fee. See the full service area for what your address falls under. A single emergency drop carries a premium.
What does a fair quote look like?
A fair quote names the unit type, the rental period, the delivery fee, the service schedule and the pickup, all on separate lines. No surprise add-ons after the fact. For a standard unit on a week rental you should see the unit rate, one delivery charge and one service visit. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets one toilet for 20 workers or fewer on a construction site, so your quote should match your crew size, not oversell you. Use the how many do I need guide to check. For events, the restroom trailer quote should include the water and waste tank sizing. When you rent a porta john the same rule holds, and a portable restroom quote with a vague single number and no breakdown is a red flag. Ask us to itemize it. The rental checklist walks through every line, and the FAQ page answers the common ones. Cleaning cadence is on the cleaning page.
How much for a small home project?
Say you are running a bathroom remodel and want one unit for a month. A standard porta potty for a month plus one delivery covers it, and a monthly rental keeps the delivery cost from repeating. This is the classic home renovation rental, and it is where port o potties for rent make the most sense on a small budget. The 60 to 70 gallon holding tank handles a small household crew easily between service visits. If painting or coatings are part of the job, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) calls for washing facilities where paints and coatings are applied, so add a portable sink. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) says those washing facilities need soap and towels or a dryer, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. A camping trip or backyard job works the same way. For a longer job, the monthly rate is the number to watch. Winter jobs have their own notes on the winter page.
How much for a construction site?
Picture a crew of 40 in College Station on a three-month build. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers in that range, so two units clear the count with room to spare. Price that as two standard units on monthly rates plus weekly service each. Add a handwashing station since OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at every workplace. Many sites pair the toilets with a roll-off dumpster for debris, which needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a storage container for tools. See the OSHA requirements guide for the full ratio table. A construction dumpster and temporary fence round out most job sites. The 10 yard dumpster suits tighter lots.
How much for a wedding or event?
An outdoor wedding for 150 guests over a weekend usually means a restroom trailer rather than standard units, because guests expect flushing and sinks. A 2 stall trailer covers a small guest count, while a 4 stall trailer handles the 150 range. Price it at the weekend trailer rate, roughly $2,000, plus delivery. For a big festival or concert, an 8 stall trailer or a bank of standard units on the event rate works better. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered units, and never fewer than one, to be accessible, so include an ADA unit in the count. The wedding page and event page go deeper. A luxury trailer or shower trailer suits multi-day events, and a golf tournament or county fair has its own layout notes.
