A one day porta potty rental in Saint Paul runs $100 to $350 for a standard unit, with most jobs landing around $150. That price band comes from actual rental data, not a guess, and it moves based on unit type, how fast you need delivery, and where in Saint Paul the site sits.
Saint Paul Porta Pros prices a standard porta potty rental at $100 to $350 a day, typical jobs around $150. That single-day number sits well below the week rate of $130 to $500, because you are not spreading a delivery fee across seven days. If you need something nicer, a deluxe flushable porta potty runs $85 to $1200 a day depending on the model, and an ADA accessible porta potty runs $200 to $400, with a week landing higher than that daily band. Delivery is often billed separately, and a day-rate delivery fee falls between $100 and $500 depending on distance and access. If your site sits out toward West St. Paul, 4.3 miles south, or Maplewood, 8.8 miles northeast, expect delivery cost to reflect that drive. Compare the daily number against a porta potty rental per day plan if your job might stretch past a weekend; check our full porta potty rental cost breakdown for every unit type side by side.
Unit type is the biggest lever. A standard porta potty rental with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank costs less than a flushable deluxe unit, and both cost less than a restroom trailer rental, which runs $175 to $2500 a day depending on stall count, with a full week priced higher than any single day. Delivery access matters too: a roll-off or trailer delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so a tight downtown Saint Paul lot can add a special-handling charge. Rush timing counts as well. An emergency porta potty rental booked same-day usually lands at the top of the price band, not the middle. Worker headcount plays in too, since OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet ratios for construction crews, one unit per 20 workers up to a point, and a bigger crew may need more than one unit even for a single day. Ask about the porta potty rental cost per day for your exact address before you commit, since Saint Paul lot access and curb rules vary block to block.

A standard unit stands about 92 inches tall and measures roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, which matters if you are trying to fit one beside a dumpster or storage container on a tight urban lot. For weekend events, a standard unit typically runs $125 to $400, priced separately from the day and week columns since weekend rate is its own short-term category.
Placement in the public right of way in Saint Paul needs confirming with the city before delivery day, especially if the unit will sit on a sidewalk, boulevard, or street parking space rather than private property. We have not verified a specific ordinance number for this, so check with the city directly rather than assume. For a private driveway, yard, or job site, permitting is usually a non-issue. See our porta potty permit requirements guide and the general porta potty placement guide before you finalize a spot. If your event is on a construction site, OSHA rules still apply regardless of permit status. If you are unsure how many units your crew needs for a single busy day, our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through headcount and hours worked, and our OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers 1926.51(c)(1) ratios in full.
Short jobs like a one-day driveway pour, a single-day estate sale, or a small backyard gathering rarely justify a week rate. A home renovation porta potty for a one-day demo crew, for instance, is cheaper billed daily than committing to seven days you will not use. But if your event runs multiple days, even two or three, ask about a week rate instead. The jump from a single day at $350 high-end to a full week at $500 high-end often works out cheaper per day. Weddings, block parties, and multi-day builds fall into this category; see wedding restroom rental or event restroom rental for those specifics. For recurring long jobs, our monthly porta potty rental page runs the same math out further.
Expect $100 to $350 for a standard unit, typical jobs around $150, per the measured price bands above. Deluxe and ADA units cost more. Delivery is frequently a separate line item, so ask for the full quote before booking, not just the unit rate.
Not always. Delivery fees run $100 to $500 for a single day depending on distance and site access. Ask Saint Paul Porta Pros for a combined quote so you are not surprised by a separate delivery charge on the invoice.

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires 1 toilet for crews of 20 or fewer workers, scaling up from there. A day-rate crew of 15 typically needs just one standard porta potty rental unit for the shift.
