Porta-Potty Rental Cost Per Day, Week, and Month

Renting a standard portable toilet in the Pacific Northwest typically runs $125–$225 for a single-day event, $175–$300 per week, or $175–$350 per month for an ongoing job-site contract — prices vary based on servicing frequency, delivery distance, and how many units you need.

All figures below are estimated ranges for 2026 in the Tacoma and Puget Sound area. Your actual quote may fall outside these ranges.

At a Glance: Estimated Rental Rates

Rental Term	Typical Price Per Unit	Usually Includes
Single day (event)	$125–$225	Delivery, unit, pickup
Weekly	$175–$300	Delivery, 1 service call, pickup
Monthly (job site)	$175–$350	Delivery + weekly servicing

Single-Day Event Rentals

A one-day event rental covers delivery before the event starts and pickup once it ends. Typical cost in the greater Tacoma area: $125–$225 per unit. That range assumes reasonable site access and standard booking lead time. Hard-to-reach locations, holiday weekends, or same-week orders can push the price higher.

Ordering multiple units at once almost always lowers the per-unit cost — even for smaller events, grouping your order typically saves money.

Weekly Rentals

Weekly contracts suit short construction projects, multi-day festivals, or events spanning a full week. Expect roughly $175–$300 per unit for a standard weekly rental in this region. Most weekly agreements include at least one service visit: a tank pump-out plus restocking of chemicals, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer.

Monthly Job-Site Rentals

Monthly contracts are standard for construction sites and longer-running operations. The typical range is $175–$350 per unit per month, with weekly service calls usually bundled into that rate. Rolling service into the monthly charge makes budgeting straightforward — you get a sanitary unit on-site without scheduling separate pump-out calls each time.

Volume pricing is common when ordering four or more units; ask about it when requesting a quote.

What Changes the Price

Several variables move your final quote up or down:

• Number of units — Higher quantities lower the per-unit rate.
• Service frequency — Twice-weekly pump-outs cost more than once-weekly.
• Delivery distance — Sites farther from the provider's yard carry higher haul-out fees.
• Rental duration — Longer commitments sometimes come with better rates; short-notice orders rarely do.
• Site access — Tight clearances, gated areas, or steep terrain may add charges.
• Season — Spring and summer peak demand tends to push prices toward the higher end of typical ranges.

When comparing quotes, ask for an itemized breakdown: base unit rate, delivery fee, number of service calls included, and any fuel or environmental surcharges. That makes an apples-to-apples comparison straightforward.
