How much does a porta potty rental cost in Tempe?
How much does portable toilet rental cost? The short answer is $100 to $350 to rent a porta potty in the standard class for a day, with most people paying around $150. Rent it for a week and the typical rate sits near $200. That is the base unit before delivery. Every job is a little different, so a quote is the only way to lock a real number. A construction site with ten units prices differently than a single home renovation rental. Event pricing runs its own band too. Weekend rates for a standard unit land near $250 because that is a premium short-term window. If you want to see per-day math on its own, we break it out on the per-day cost page. For longer jobs, the monthly rental page explains how the math changes when you hold a unit for weeks. Call Tempe Porta Pros and we walk the site with you.
What does a full price table look like?
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| Deluxe flushable | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | - |
| ADA accessible | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | - |
| Restroom trailer | $175-$2500 | $900-$1650 | - |
The deluxe flushable unit has a flushing bowl and a sink. When you rent a porta potty in the ADA class, the ADA accessible model is a wider unit built for wheelchair access. A restroom trailer is a whole different animal, closer to an indoor bathroom, and its cost page lives here. Weekend standard rates run about $250. See how each unit compares on the portable toilet rental and port o john rental pages, whether you want to rent a porta john or rent a portable restroom.
What do delivery, service and pickup cost?
These are separate lines, and they matter. Delivery for a day job runs $100 to $500, typically around $150. Weekly delivery bands land $100 to $150. A month contract carries a delivery fee near $172. Service, meaning the pump-out and restock visit, runs $100 to $220 per week depending on how many units and how hard they get used.
| Line item | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery | $100-$500 | $100-$150 | $120-$420 |
| Service | $100-$300 | $100-$220 | $100-$300 |
Under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, one service visit a week is the baseline for up to ten users over a 40 hour week. Push past that and you need more visits. Pickup is usually folded into delivery on the main rental page. Our rental checklist lists every line so nothing surprises you. See the full cost breakdown any time.
Why do porta potty prices vary so much?
Because the unit, the length of the rental and the site all move the number. A standard unit sits at one end. A luxury trailer sits at the other, and a 2-stall trailer lands between. Duration matters: a longer rental never costs less per week than a short one, but weekend rates carry a premium because the crew comes and goes in 48 hours. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, and heavy use means more frequent service, which adds cost. Site access matters too. If a truck cannot reach the drop spot, placement takes longer. Our placement guide covers clearance. Add-ons like a handwashing station or sanitizer stand each carry their own line. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), a washing facility needs soap and towels, so sanitizer alone will not satisfy it. See the deluxe unit for a built-in sink.
How many units do I need and how does that change the price?
Count matters more than any single rate, because two units cost roughly twice one. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the construction ratio: one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one toilet and one urinal per 40 workers as the crew grows past 20. Our how many do I need tool runs the math for you. For events, headcount and hours drive it, and the event restroom page walks through crowd sizing. A wedding with 150 guests looks different than a festival or a concert. If your job uses paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of toilets, so budget a portable sink. The OSHA requirements guide lays out the ratios clearly. Getting the count right the first time keeps your total honest.
What does a fair quote include?
A fair quote from Tempe Porta Pros names the unit, the rental window, delivery, service frequency and pickup, all on separate lines. No mystery bundle. You should see the base unit rate, then delivery, then how many service visits and what each one costs. If you are renting an ADA unit, the quote should note the wider footprint. ADA Standards section 404.2.3 sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening, and section 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside. Those specs are why an ADA model costs more than a standard one. A quote for an emergency rental may carry a faster delivery premium, and we say so up front. Ask about permit rules early. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Tempe, and we point you to the permit requirements page rather than guess. These rent porta potty prices, and the portable restroom options where port o potties for rent sit side by side, are worth comparing before you sign; check our standard rates too.
Three worked scenarios: what would I actually pay?
A weekend backyard party in Tempe, one standard unit, delivered Friday and picked up Monday. Expect the unit near $250 for the weekend plus a delivery fee around $200, so roughly $450 all in. A wedding restroom with a trailer runs far higher.
A month-long home renovation about 3.5 miles from Guadalupe. One standard unit at a monthly rate near $200, delivery near $172, plus weekly service. Budget around $600 to $750 for the month with four service visits.
A ten-person construction crew for a month. OSHA 1926.51(c) says one unit covers up to 20 workers, so one construction unit meets the floor, though most crews add a handwashing station. Figure the monthly unit rate, delivery and weekly service. Pair it with a roll-off dumpster and the site services page covers the bundle.
When should I book to get the best price?
Book early, especially for events. Peak weekends in Tempe fill fast, and a festival or marathon locks crews weeks ahead. Same-day is possible through emergency service, but rush windows carry a premium. For a planned construction job, booking ahead lets us stage the right unit count and schedule service under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 weekly baseline without scrambling. Longer commitments price better per week than a string of short rentals, which is why the monthly page usually beats stacking weekends. If you need a unit in Paradise Valley, 15.8 miles north, or Sun Lakes, 16.9 miles south, tell us early so we can plan the drive. Our service areas page lists every town we reach. Check the FAQ or hit contact to start. When you are ready, request a quote and we price it same day.

A lot more. A restroom trailer runs $175 to $2500 for a day versus $100 to $350 for a standard unit. Trailers feel like indoor bathrooms. See the 4-stall option and the trailer cost page for details.
