How Much Is a Porta Potty Rental for a Day?
Day rate pricing exists for the job that starts Friday morning and wraps by Friday night: a yard sale, a one day repair, a small backyard gathering. For standard porta potty rental units, Aurora Porta Pros prices a single day between $100 and $350, with most bookings closer to the $150 mark. That is separate from the weekend band, which runs higher because it covers a Friday-to-Monday window rather than a single 24 hour stretch. If your event runs closer to two or three days, check porta potty rental cost for how the weekend and week bands compare, since paying by the day past a certain point costs more than booking the week outright. Delivery is its own line item, typically $100 to $500 depending on where in Aurora the unit is headed and how many stops the truck makes that day. A basic standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, which is plenty for a single day of moderate use before a pump-out is needed. If your project might stretch past one day, porta potty rental per day math almost always favors a multi-day or weekend rate once you cross two days.
Why Does the Daily Rate Change From Job to Job?
Two jobs booking the same unit on the same day can get different quotes, and delivery distance is the biggest reason. Aetna Estates sits about 4.7 miles northeast of central Aurora, a short run for a delivery truck, while Watkins is 13.3 miles east and Parker is 19.1 miles south, both adding drive time that shows up in the delivery fee. A rush order placed the morning of also costs more than one booked a few days out, because the truck has to be rerouted rather than scheduled into its normal loop. Unit choice matters too: an ADA accessible porta potty or a deluxe flushable porta potty day rate sits above the standard band, since those units carry more plumbing and take longer to service. If the job needs a wash station alongside the toilet, a handwashing station rental is priced and delivered separately, though many day-rate customers bundle both to save a delivery trip. For construction crews working near Cherry Creek or Greenwood Village, roughly 16 miles southwest of central Aurora, a same-day rental is possible but the delivery fee reflects that distance.
Is a One Day Rental Cheaper Than a Weekend Rate?
Not usually, once you factor in what a weekend actually covers. A single day rental is priced for a 24 hour window, while the weekend rate covers Friday through Monday delivery and pickup as one job. If your event runs Saturday into Sunday, the weekend rate often beats booking two separate single days back to back, because you avoid paying two delivery fees. This is the same logic that applies going the other direction: a monthly porta potty rental beats paying week rates four times over for a long construction job. Aurora Porta Pros builds all of its day, weekend, week and month pricing so a longer rental never costs more than a shorter one covering the same span; that ordering is worth checking against on porta potty rental cost before you commit to a date range. For a party, wedding, or event restroom rental, the weekend band is almost always the better fit unless the whole event truly fits inside a single day.
What Affects the Price of a Same Day or Next Day Order?
Speed costs money, and this is one of the fastest-moving parts of the quote. Ordering a unit for delivery the same afternoon, rather than a few days ahead, usually pushes the price toward the top of the $100 to $350 band because the dispatcher has to slot the delivery into a route that wasn't planned for it. Aurora Porta Pros treats true emergencies, like a failed septic line before a weekend event, through emergency porta potty rental rather than standard day-rate booking, since that service moves faster and prices differently. Job site requirements also factor in: OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet counts for construction crews at one facility for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there, so a contractor calling last minute for a crew of 15 needs a different order than a homeowner renting one unit for a driveway repaving. If the unit is going into public right of way rather than a private lot, that placement needs confirming with the city before delivery, since Aurora Porta Pros does not assume blanket permission for street-side placement. A quick porta potty rental checklist before you call helps the dispatcher quote the right unit the first time, which keeps a same-day order from turning into a second delivery fee.

For larger crews or multi-unit jobs, how many porta potties do I need walks through sizing before you request a quote.
How much does a porta potty rental cost per day near me?
Expect $100 to $350 for a standard unit for one day in Aurora, with delivery priced separately based on distance. A location closer to central Aurora, like Aetna Estates at 4.7 miles out, typically costs less to deliver to than a site out toward Parker or Centennial.
What is included in the one day rental price?
The day rate covers the unit itself, not delivery or pickup. Aurora Porta Pros lists delivery as its own fee, generally $100 to $500, and that fee applies whether you rent for one day or a full month.
Can I rent just one porta potty for one day?
Yes, single-unit single-day orders are common for small jobs like a yard sale or a short repair. The order still carries a delivery fee, so confirm the total before booking through request a quote.
Does the daily rate apply to construction sites?
It can, but most contractors save money renting by the week or month instead. Crews sized under OSHA 1926.51(c) still need to plan toilet counts even for a short job; see construction site services for site-specific setup.
Is delivery included in the porta potty rental price per day?
No. Delivery is billed separately from the unit rate, typically $100 to $500 depending on distance and timing. Combining delivery with a portable restroom rental order for multiple units on the same trip can lower the per-unit cost.
