A one day porta potty rental in Minneapolis runs between $100 and $350, with most standard units landing close to $150 for a single day of use. Price moves with delivery distance, unit type and how fast you need it on site, whether you're looking at a basic porta john rental or a full portable restroom rental setup. A weekend event usually costs more than a single weekday rental, and our porta potty rental cost page breaks down how those numbers stack up across durations.
The short answer: a standard unit averages $150 a day, based on 62 measured rentals across the market. That's the number to plan around if you're weighing a standard porta potty rental against a deluxe flushable porta potty, which runs higher because of the added plumbing. Daily pricing makes sense for short home projects like a home renovation porta potty, single day yard work or a quick weekend fix, but if your job runs longer, the math flips fast. A weekly standard rental in Minneapolis averages $200, only $50 more than a single day, so anything past two or three days usually pencils out cheaper on a weekly rate. That's worth checking against our porta potty rental cost breakdown before you commit to daily billing. Delivery adds its own line item too. A day rate delivery fee averages $150, separate from the unit itself, and that's before any trip charge tied to distance. If you're near St. Louis Park, about 8.0 miles west of Minneapolis, or Richfield at 8.1 miles south, ask up front whether delivery is bundled or billed separately. For ongoing needs, a monthly porta potty rental is worth comparing before you lock into repeated daily charges.
Distance, unit type and timing move the number the most. A standard unit delivered inside Minneapolis costs less to place than one headed to Blaine, 19.0 miles north, simply because trucks burn time and fuel getting there. Delivery fees on a day basis range from $100 to $500 depending on how far the crew has to drive and how tight the delivery window is. Unit choice matters just as much. An ADA accessible porta potty rents for $200 to $400 a day, well above the standard unit, because it's built wider and holds the 60 inch turning clearance required under ADA Standards section 304.3.1. A standard unit sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, dimensions that matter when you're figuring out where it'll actually fit on a job site or in a driveway. Weekend and event rentals also carry premium pricing since crews are servicing multiple sites on tight windows; a standard weekend rental averages $250, notably higher than a weekday day rate. If your event is larger than a backyard gathering, check out event restroom rental options instead of daily pricing, since bundled event rates often work out better than paying per day, and a wedding restroom rental or festival restroom rental package often bundles delivery in already.
| Unit Type | Day Rate (low-typical-high) |
|---|---|
| Standard | $100 - $150 - $350 |
| ADA Accessible | $200 - $230 - $400 |
| Deluxe Flushable | $85 - $300 - $1,200 |
| Septic Service Call | $150 - $250 - $300 |
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery, so don't assume a driveway or private lot skips this step entirely. If your unit sits fully on private property, most one day rentals move forward without extra paperwork, but anything touching a sidewalk, boulevard or street requires a call to Minneapolis first. This is where a lot of last minute rentals get delayed, so it helps to review the general portable toilet rental process ahead of time. Our porta potty permit requirements page walks through what to check before delivery day, and it's worth ten minutes if your rental is going anywhere near a curb. Construction sites have their own separate consideration: OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet counts by crew size, one facility for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there. If you're renting for a job site rather than a one day event, our OSHA portable toilet requirements guide breaks down exactly how many units your crew needs. For general placement questions beyond permits, like clearance and surface stability, see the porta potty placement guide.
Same day delivery is possible in Minneapolis depending on the day of the week and how full the route already is, but it's never guaranteed once you're inside the same afternoon. Calling first thing in the morning gives you the best shot. If your event or project comes up without warning, emergency porta potty rental service exists for exactly that situation, though expect a service fee on top of the unit cost, typically $100 to $300 for a day rate call. Roseville, 9.0 miles northeast of Minneapolis, and Edina, 11.0 miles southwest, both fall within a range that usually supports same day routing if the request comes in early. Farther out, toward Eden Prairie at 16.9 miles southwest or Burnsville at 16.1 miles south, same day service gets tighter, and it's worth checking our service areas page to confirm routing before you call. If you're not sure a porta potty is even the right call for your situation, our how many porta potties do I need guide can help you figure out unit count and type before you dial in a delivery window. And if the job is really an ongoing site need rather than a single day, construction site services covers the full setup, not just the toilet.
Cost depends on exact location within the Minneapolis area, but expect $100 to $350 for a standard unit, with $150 the typical price. Delivery distance is the biggest variable, so a job near the city center usually costs less than one out toward Blaine or Eden Prairie.
Yes, usually. A standard day rate averages $150, while a weekend rate averages $250. If your event spans a full weekend, ask about weekend pricing directly rather than paying two separate day rates back to back.
