What sets the price of a porta potty rental?
Five things set the price of a porta potty rental: delivery distance from Indio, unit type, rental dates, service frequency and quantity. Delivery and pickup are the biggest part of a short rental. That is why a 3-day event costs about the same as a 5-day event.
- Location. Distance from our Indio yard sets the delivery charge.
- Unit type. Sinks, flushing and accessible floors cost more than a standard unit.
- Dates. Same-day, holiday and April festival dates can add a rush or peak charge.
- Service. Weekly service is included; extra visits are priced per unit.
- Quantity. More units share one delivery trip, so the cost per unit drops.

Straight answers
Pricing questions
What is the cheapest way to rent a porta potty?
The cheapest porta potty rental is one standard unit, booked 2–3 days ahead, for an address close to Indio. Combining toilets and a hand washing station on one truck saves a second delivery charge. Same-day orders and remote addresses cost more.
Is delivery charged per unit?
Delivery is charged once per truck trip, not per unit. Three toilets and a hand washing station on one truck carry one delivery charge. Units delivered on different days carry separate trips.
Is there a fuel surcharge or card fee?
Our quote shows every charge as a line item before you pay. There is no hidden fuel surcharge added after booking. Sales tax applies where California requires it.
Do you charge for weekly cleaning?
Weekly cleaning is included in every rental price. Extra service visits, such as a second weekly visit in summer or a mid-event clean, are added only when you ask, at a set price per visit per unit.
Do you need payment up front?
Event rentals are paid at booking to hold the date. Long-term rentals charge the first 28-day cycle at booking and each cycle after on the renewal date. Approved contractors can apply for monthly invoicing.
Will the price change if I call back later?
Your quote is held for 7 days. Prices for April festival weekends and holiday weekends depend on remaining stock, so booking early keeps your quoted price.
