How Much Is a Porta Potty Rental for a Day?
Eau Claire Porta Pros prices a standard unit at $100 to $350 per day, and most customers land close to $150 once you factor in a normal delivery window. That is the base number for a standard porta potty rental with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, the kind used on driveways, small backyard projects and single-day gatherings around Eau Claire. A deluxe flushable porta potty costs more, from $85 up to $1,200 a day depending on features, because it has a flush mechanism and a sink instead of the basic setup. If you need accessibility, an ADA accessible porta potty runs $200 to $400 per day. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, be an accessible model, so if you are renting several units for a race or fair, plan one in the mix. Delivery fees for a day rental typically sit between $100 and $500, and that is usually the bigger swing in your final quote, not the toilet itself.

Why Does Porta Potty Rental Price Per Day Vary So Much?
Distance, unit type and how fast you need it drive the range. A job 3.5 miles east in Seymour costs less to service than one out past Menomonie, 24.3 miles west, simply because of drive time built into the delivery fee. Same-day or emergency placement pushes the price toward the top of the band, and emergency porta potty rental exists for exactly that situation. Unit choice matters too: a standard unit stands about 92 inches tall and measures roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, and that footprint is consistent whether you are renting for a day or a month, but the flushable and ADA models cost more per day because they carry more equipment. If your event needs several units, a porta potty placement guide helps you figure out spacing before the truck shows up, since a roll-off or restroom delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the vehicle. Worker count matters on job sites too. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets ratios starting at one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, climbing from there, so a bigger crew changes what "one unit for the day" actually looks like.

Is a One Day Rental Cheaper Than a Weekend or Week?
Not always by much, and sometimes a weekend rate beats booking two separate single days back to back. A standard unit weekend rate in Eau Claire falls between $125 and $400, while a full week runs $130 to $500. The table below lines up the standard unit against a few other common needs so you can see where a single day sits.
| duration | standard unit | dumpster | septic pump |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $100 - $350 | $51 - $112 | $150 - $300 |
| week | $130 - $500 | $426 - $778 | not sold by week |
| month | $125 - $325 | $91 - $500 | not sold by month |
If your project runs longer than a weekend, compare against porta potty rental per day math before committing, because a month of use almost always beats renting day by day. For anything under 40 hours of actual use, ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 treats one service visit per week as the baseline interval, which is part of why single day rentals do not usually include a mid-day service call. If you are weighing a longer commitment, the monthly porta potty rental page breaks down where the savings show up.
Do I Need a Permit for a One Day Rental in Eau Claire?
Placement on your own property for a single day usually does not trigger the same review as a multi-week job site, but placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Eau Claire Porta Pros does not guess at rules that vary block by block, so check porta potty permit requirements before you set a unit on a street, sidewalk or shared lot. Construction sites have separate obligations regardless of rental length: OSHA 1926.51(c) governs toilet counts by crew size, and 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at the site. If your one-day job involves applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific work, which is different from general sanitation. A handwashing station rental covers that gap cheaply if you only need it for a few hours. For home projects, home renovation porta potty walks through what a homeowner actually needs to check.

What is included in a one day porta potty rental?
You get the unit delivered, set up, and picked up, plus one service if the rental crosses a weekly cycle. A standard unit carries a 60 to 70 gallon tank, enough for typical one-day use. Toilet paper is stocked at delivery. Ask about portable restroom rental options if you need add-ons like a sink.
Can I rent a porta potty for just one day?
Yes. Single day rentals are common for weekend chores, small parties, and one-day job sites. You will pay the day rate plus delivery rather than a discounted weekly rate. Book early since same-day requests fall under emergency porta potty rental pricing, which runs higher.
Does the daily rate change for events versus construction sites?
Yes, event pricing for a standard unit can run $200 to $800 because of add-ons, staffing, and cleanup expectations. Construction day rates stay closer to the base $100 to $350 range. Check event restroom rental or construction site services depending on your job.
Is delivery included in the per day price?
No, delivery is billed separately and typically runs $100 to $500 for a day rental. Distance, access, and timing all affect that fee. A site 60 feet from where the truck can park keeps delivery simple. Confirm your address through contact before assuming a flat number.
