How much is a porta potty rental for a day?
Standard units run $100 to $350 a day, with $150 as the typical price most Clearwater customers actually pay. That single-day rate assumes drop off and pickup within roughly a 24 hour window, not a multi-day booking split into daily chunks. If you need something nicer, a deluxe flushable porta potty starts higher, from $85 up to $1,200 depending on the model and add-ons. An ADA accessible porta potty day rate lands between $200 and $400, reflecting the larger footprint and the 60 inch turning circle required under ADA Standards 304.3.1, and weekly rentals of that same unit run higher still, from $120 up toward $240 for a full week of use. Most one-day renters are covering a backyard party, a small job site, or an open house, not a full weekend of foot traffic. If your event actually spans two or three days, check porta potty rental prices per day against a weekend block rate before committing to daily pricing, since stacking daily rates back to back rarely beats a bundled rate. A delivery fee often applies separately, and that fee alone ranges from $100 to $500 depending on distance and access.
What drives porta potty rental cost per day in Clearwater?
Distance, unit type and timing move the price more than anything else. A delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance to place a unit, so tight lots in older Clearwater neighborhoods sometimes carry a higher delivery fee than open sites near Greenbriar, 3.4 miles northeast. Same-day or emergency requests push cost up too; an emergency porta potty rental gets prioritized ahead of standing orders, and that priority isn't free. Unit choice matters just as much. A standard porta potty rental with its 60 to 70 gallon holding tank covers most single-day jobs, while a portable restroom rental upgraded to deluxe adds a flush mechanism and a sink. If you're renting for a construction crew rather than a party, worker headcount matters under OSHA 1926.51(c): one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, then additional fixtures as the crew grows past that. Compare that against a porta john rental for a small home project versus a full construction site services package for a larger crew.
Table: daily, weekly and monthly rates compared
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ADA accessible | $200 - $400 | $400 - $2,800 | n/a |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | n/a |
Notice the standard unit's week price can run higher than its month price band. That's not a typo, it reflects how short-term weekly bookings get priced against longer commercial monthly contracts differently. If your project in Clearwater will run more than a few days, look at monthly porta potty rental instead of stacking day rates, and if you're unsure how long you'll need service, our porta potty rental cost page breaks down all three durations side by side.
Is a one day rental worth it for a small event?
For a backyard gathering or a single work shift, yes, a one-day rental usually makes more sense than a weekend block you don't need. A birthday party or small renovation crew rarely needs more than one unit for one day. Use our guide on how many porta potties do I need if you're unsure of headcount, since that number changes the math fast once you cross 20 guests or workers. For weddings, check wedding restroom rental instead, since those events often run longer than a single calendar day and benefit from a different rate structure. Home renovation jobs lasting just an afternoon or a weekend fit well under home renovation porta potty planning, and if the job runs past a week, a porta potty rental checklist helps you decide when to switch from daily to weekly pricing. Clearwater customers near Safety Harbor, 6.5 miles northeast, and Dunedin, 7.4 miles northwest, often ask about combining a single unit with a handwashing station; a handwashing station rental added to a one-day order is common for food-adjacent events.
Where does Clearwater Porta Pros deliver for one-day rentals?
Clearwater Porta Pros delivers throughout Clearwater and into nearby towns including Oldsmar, 9.7 miles northeast, and Pinellas Park, 12.1 miles southeast. Delivery distance factors into the delivery fee, which separately ranges from $50 to $150 on a weekly basis or $100 to $500 for shorter jobs. If your site sits in the public right of way, placement needs confirming with the City of Clearwater directly, since we don't have permit specifics to quote here; our porta potty permit requirements page walks through what to ask. For job sites specifically, review OSHA portable toilet requirements before ordering, since crew size changes the required fixture count under 1926.51(c).

How much does a one day porta potty rental cost near me?
Expect $100 to $350 for a standard unit, with $150 typical, plus a separate delivery fee. Exact pricing depends on distance from our depot, unit type, and how soon you need delivery. Request a quote with your address for an exact number.
Can I rent a porta potty for just one day?
Yes. Most standard units are available for single-day delivery and pickup, though very short-notice orders may cost more. Weekend rates apply instead if your event spans Friday through Sunday, so mention your exact dates when you call.
Does the daily rate include delivery?
Not always. Delivery is often billed separately, ranging from $100 to $500 depending on distance and site access. Ask for an all-in quote up front so there's no surprise on invoice day.
What's the difference between a daily rate and a weekend rate?
A weekend rate covers Friday through Sunday as one package, while a daily rate is priced per 24-hour period. Weekend pricing on a standard unit generally beats booking three separate days back to back.
Do I need an ADA unit for a one-day event?
If you're expecting guests or workers with mobility needs, yes. ADA Standards 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, with a minimum of one. Check our ADA restroom requirements guide for details.
