How much is a porta potty rental for a day?
Daily pricing depends on unit type, how far the truck has to drive, and whether it's a one-off event or an add-on to a longer job. A standard porta potty rental for a single day sits in the $100 to $350 range, with $150 typical across 62 data points we track. Delivery fees run separately, usually $100 to $500 for a single day depending on distance and access. If you're closer to Tamarac, 3.6 miles north of Sunrise, or Lauderdale Lakes, 4.6 miles east, drive time barely moves the needle, but tight access can still push delivery cost up. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more for the day, sometimes well past $300, because it has a flush mechanism and a bigger footprint. An ADA accessible porta potty also runs higher, generally $200 to $400 for a day, with weekly rentals priced higher still since a longer commitment never costs less per unit, and ADA Standards section 304.3.1 requires a 60 inch turning circle inside, which is why these units cost more to build and move. If you only need one day, it rarely makes sense to book weekly rates; check porta potty rental cost for how daily stacks up against longer terms.
What's included in a one day porta potty rental price?
The rental price gets you the unit, delivery, pickup and one service if you keep it past a single event day. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall, so it fits under most carport and gate lines without a special order. For events under 40 hours with light use, ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the baseline service interval at once per week for up to 10 users, though a one day rental typically needs just the initial service that comes with drop-off. If your event runs into evening hours, pair the unit with a light tower rental so guests aren't finding the door in the dark, since OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum lighting intensities for work areas after dark. Need more than a toilet? A handwashing station rental or portable sink rental pairs well with a single unit for a backyard party or a small crew. For construction crews working paint or coating jobs that day, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically because of paint, coatings, herbicide or insecticide exposure, not general dirt.
Is a one day rental cheaper than renting for a weekend or week?
No, a single day almost never beats a multi-day rate per day used. Renting for a full week runs $130 to $500 with $200 typical, which works out cheaper per day than booking five separate one-day deliveries, because you only pay one delivery fee instead of several. A weekend rate for a standard unit runs $125 to $400, closer to $250 typical, and that's built for Friday-to-Monday events rather than a single afternoon. If your job in Sunrise stretches past a day or two, look at porta potty rental per day pricing against monthly porta potty rental options, since monthly rates for a standard unit run $125 to $325 and are meant for job sites, not parties. Construction sites often default to monthly because OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet ratios by crew size, meaning a job with 20 workers or fewer needs just one facility, but that facility needs to stay put for the length of the project, not one day at a time.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| ada | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | - |
| deluxe | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | - |
| dumpster | $51-$112 | $426-$778 | $500-$778 |
Do I need a permit for a one day rental in Sunrise?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery day, since permit rules vary by location and were not verified for this page. If the unit sits entirely on private property, like a driveway or backyard, permitting is usually simpler, but check with Sunrise before your event if the unit will touch a sidewalk, curb strip or street. For construction sites, pair your porta potty with construction site services planning early, since temporary fence rental and dumpster placement often trigger the same right-of-way questions. If you're planning a wedding, festival or fair, our event restroom rental and festival restroom rental pages cover placement basics, and the porta potty placement guide walks through clearance needs. ADA Standards section 403.5.1 requires a 36 inch clear route to any accessible unit, so factor that into where you set the unit on a lawn or lot. Renters in Lauderdale Lakes or North Lauderdale, 5.8 miles northeast of Sunrise, face similar right-of-way questions, so don't assume rules match across city lines.
How much does a porta potty rental cost per day near me?
Expect $100 to $350 for a standard unit for a single day in Sunrise, with delivery billed separately at $100 to $500 depending on distance and site access. Exact cost depends on unit type, how far the truck travels, and whether it's an event or job site delivery.
Can I rent a porta potty for just one day?
Yes, most rental companies offer single day pricing, though delivery and pickup fees apply the same as a longer rental. It often costs more per day than a week-long booking because you're paying one full delivery charge for one day of use instead of spreading it out.
What's the cheapest porta potty option for a day?
A standard unit is the cheapest option, starting around $100 for the day before delivery. Deluxe and ADA units cost more because of added features like flush mechanisms or the 60 inch turning circle ADA Standards section 304.3.1 requires inside the unit.
Does the daily rate include delivery and pickup?
Usually not; delivery is billed separately, typically $100 to $500 for a single day depending on distance and access. Ask upfront whether your quote is unit-only or includes delivery, since this changes the total cost significantly.
Is a one day porta potty rental available on short notice?
Often yes, especially for standard units, though availability depends on your date and location. For same-day or urgent needs, check emergency porta potty rental for faster turnaround options in Sunrise.
