What Does a Porta John Rental Include?
A porta john rental from Saint George Porta Pros gets you a standard portable toilet with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, standing about 92 inches tall on a footprint near 44 by 48 inches. That's enough capacity for a job site crew or a backyard gathering without daily servicing. Delivery and pickup are handled by our crew, and setup takes minutes once the truck is on site.
If you want more than the basic unit, we also run deluxe flushable models with a sink and flushing mechanism, and ADA accessible units built to the required specs. ADA Standards section 213.2 says that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent of them, and never fewer than one, has to be accessible. That rule applies whether you're renting for a construction crew in Saint George or a wedding out in Santa Clara, 7.0 miles northwest of downtown. For events pulling bigger crowds, look at our restroom trailer rental line instead, since a single porta john won't cover the volume.
Porta John Rental Price and Rates
Rates depend on how long you need the unit and what kind of unit it is. Here's what the market in Saint George actually charges, based on our own pricing data:
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard porta john | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ADA accessible | $200 - $400 | -- | -- |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | -- |
A weekend rental for a standard unit typically runs $125 to $400, which covers most Friday-to-Monday events without locking you into a full week. Delivery is usually billed separately, and that fee runs from $100 to $500 depending on distance and how many units go out. If you're comparing porta john rental price across providers, ask whether delivery and pickup are bundled or itemized, because that's where quotes start to differ. Full cost breakdowns live on our porta potty rental cost page, and if you're planning month-long coverage, the monthly porta potty rental page has more detail on how those rates get calculated.

How Many Porta Johns Do I Need for My Job Site?
For construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, dropping to one seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. That's the baseline whether you're building in Saint George or out toward Washington, 7.8 miles northeast. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a related standard: one service visit per week is the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, so if your crew is bigger or the work is dirtier, you'll want more frequent pumping or more units.
For a full walkthrough on counting heads and matching units to crew size, our how many porta potties do I need guide breaks it down further, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the regulation in more depth. If your crew is spraying paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) also requires washing facilities on top of toilets, which is where a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental comes in. General potable water access falls under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), and it applies to every job site regardless of trade.
Can I Get a Luxury Porta John Rental for an Event?
Yes. For weddings, festivals, or anything upscale, a luxury porta john rental means stepping up to a deluxe flushable unit or a full restroom trailer with running water and real stalls. Event-duration deluxe units price higher per day than standard rentals but bring sinks and better ventilation, which matters when guests are dressed up. If you're hosting near Ivins, 10.2 miles northwest, or out toward Hurricane, 18.1 miles east, delivery logistics are the same: we need clear access for the truck, and roll-off or trailer deliveries typically need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the vehicle.
Check our wedding restroom rental and event restroom rental pages for unit recommendations by guest count, or the luxury restroom trailer page if you want the higher-end trailer option instead of a standalone unit. For placement, the porta potty placement guide covers ground surface and clearance needs, and ADA Standards section 302.1 requires that the ground surface under and around an accessible unit stay stable, firm and slip resistant.
How much does a porta john rental cost per day?
Daily rates for a standard unit run $100 to $350 in Saint George, depending on unit type and how long you keep it. Weekend and week-long rentals price differently, so check the porta potty rental per day page for a full breakdown before you commit to a term.
Do I need a permit for a porta john on my property?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city; we have not verified a specific ordinance for Saint George. For most private-property rentals no permit applies, but check our porta potty permit requirements page and confirm with the city before delivery day.
What's the difference between a porta john and a portable restroom trailer?
A porta john is a single, self-contained standard unit with a holding tank and no plumbing hookup. A restroom trailer has multiple stalls, running water, and often climate control, better suited to bigger events or extended job sites.
How often does a porta john need servicing?
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one weekly service visit as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavier use means more frequent pumping. See how often are porta potties cleaned for details on scheduling.
Can I rent just one unit for a home renovation project?
Yes, single-unit rentals are common for home renovation porta potty jobs. A standard unit on a daily or weekly rate covers most residential projects without needing a full fleet delivery.
