Most Minneapolis jobs rent a standard portable toilet for about 150 dollars a day, 200 a week, or 200 a month on a serviced contract. Deluxe flushable units, ADA models and restroom trailers cost more. Delivery, weekly service and pickup are billed separately. Below is the full price picture, plus what changes it.
A standard porta potty rental runs from 100 dollars a day at the low end. Weekend and event rates sit higher because they include short-term service. A deluxe flushable unit costs more, and a restroom trailer is a different category again. The number you pay depends on unit type, how long you keep it, and how often it gets serviced. See our full porta potty rental cost breakdown and request a quote for a firm figure. Minneapolis pricing tracks the same bands you see across the metro, from Edina 11.0 miles southwest to Roseville 9.0 miles northeast. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that visit is a line on your bill. Start at the main rental page if you are new to this.
Here are the porta potty rental prices by unit and duration. Delivery, service and pickup are broken out as their own lines, because they are separate charges. A monthly porta potty rental or a per-day rate each has its place.
| Unit / line item | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard unit | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| Deluxe flushable | 85-1200 | 150-290 | - |
| ADA accessible | 200-400 | 120-240 | - |
| Restroom trailer | 175-2500 | 150-1650 | - |
| Delivery fee | 100-500 | 50-150 | 120-420 |
| Service fee | 100-300 | 30-220 | 100-300 |
Weekend rates are quoted in prose since they are a premium short-term rate. A standard unit runs 125 to 400 for a weekend. A weekend delivery runs 125 to 540. See the portable toilet rental and portable restroom rental pages for unit detail, or the ADA accessible option.
Unit type is the biggest lever. A porta john rental with a basic 60 to 70 gallon holding tank sits at the bottom of the range. A deluxe flushable porta potty with a foot pump and sink costs more to stock and service. A restroom trailer needs a tow, a level pad and sometimes power, which is why trailer day rates climb toward the top of the band. Duration matters too. Longer rentals lower the per-day cost but raise the total. Service frequency is the third lever: OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, and more units means more pumping visits. Distance is the last one. A haul to Blaine 19.0 miles north costs more in delivery than a drop inside Minneapolis. Compare construction site services if you need several units.
Five things push your quote up or down. Placement first: if a unit sits more than a short walk from where the truck can park, service takes longer. Ground next. ADA Standards section 302.1 wants a stable, firm, slip resistant surface, so soft grass or mud may need matting. Access clearance matters for trailers and dumpsters alike, and a roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. Season is real in Minneapolis. Winter placement and freeze protection add handling, covered on our porta potty in winter page. Volume is the last one: more units, lower each. Read the placement guide and the rental checklist before you book. If you are staffing a site, the how many porta potties do I need tool sizes it fast.
A fair quote for portable restrooms names three numbers separately: the unit rate, the delivery fee, and the service fee. It does not bury pickup inside delivery and hope you miss it. A porta potty rental per day quote for one standard unit should list the day rate, one delivery charge, and one pickup. For a longer job, the monthly rental rate should show the weekly service visits built in, since ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets that weekly baseline. Ask whether tax and any permit costs are included. Placement in the Minneapolis public right of way needs confirming with the city; we name no rule here because that one is not verified. Compare our contact page and the FAQ if a line item looks off. Minneapolis Porta Pros itemizes every charge.
Step up from a basic unit and the price to rent a porta potty changes shape. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush and a sink, which is why weddings and corporate events lean that way. A restroom trailer rental is climate controlled with real stalls, and the day rate reflects the tow and setup. Choose a 2 stall trailer for a small gathering, a 4 stall for a mid-size crowd, or an 8 stall for a festival. A luxury restroom trailer or a shower trailer sits at the top. See restroom trailer rental cost for the full trailer breakdown. Trailers with sinks meet 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and towels or a dryer at washing facilities. For weddings and events the trailer is usually worth it.
Yes, and they are worth naming so nothing surprises you. Delivery and pickup are separate from the unit rate. Weekly service is separate again. Add-ons change the total: a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental covers OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), which applies where crews handle paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. A hand sanitizer station does not replace a sink under that rule. If you need overnight lighting a light tower rental is a line item, and OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination for construction areas. Extra service visits, ADA units under ADA Standards section 213.2 where units are clustered, and long hauls to Eden Prairie 16.9 miles southwest all add up. See handwashing requirements for the sink math.
Match the term to the job. A weekend party takes a weekend rate. A home renovation porta potty that runs a month is cheaper per day on a monthly rental. A construction job books by the month with weekly service under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). If you need to rent a portable toilet near me for a one-day golf tournament or a race, the day or event rate fits. Emergencies are different: our emergency porta potty rental and emergency septic service move fast. Pair a rental with a storage container, a temporary fence, or septic pumping if the site needs it. Minneapolis Porta Pros serves the whole metro from St. Louis Park 8.0 miles west to Bloomington 12.3 miles south. See service areas.
A basic standard porta potty starts at 100 dollars for a single day at the low end of the band. Add one delivery and one pickup. A weekly or monthly contract lowers the per-day cost but raises the total, since service visits are included.
They are separate lines, and a fair quote shows each one. A weekly delivery fee runs 50 to 150. Ask up front so pickup is not folded into another charge. See our request a quote page for an itemized number specific to your Minneapolis address.
Most weddings choose a deluxe flushable unit or a luxury restroom trailer. A standard unit on an event rate runs 200 to 800. A trailer costs more but adds real comfort. See wedding restroom rental for guest-count guidance.
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busier sites need more visits. Our how often are porta potties cleaned page walks through the schedule and what a visit covers.
Yes. An ADA accessible porta potty costs more because it is larger and meets ADA Standards section 304.3.1, which requires a 60 inch turning circle. Where units are clustered, section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent, never fewer than one, be accessible.
Placement on private property usually does not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, and we name no rule here because that one is not verified. See porta potty permit requirements and check with the City of Minneapolis first.
A standard unit on a monthly contract falls inside the 125 to 325 band, with weekly service built in. Delivery and pickup are separate. A monthly porta potty rental is the right call for jobs running four weeks or longer.
