Definition
A standard porta potty rental is a self-contained, non-plumbed portable restroom delivered to your site on a set service schedule, typically a unit measuring roughly 44 by 48 inches at the base and about 7.5 feet tall with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank.

Specification
| Footprint | 44 in x 48 in base, 90 to 93 in tall |
|---|---|
| Holding tank | 60 to 70 gallon usable capacity |
| Service interval | Once weekly included; twice weekly available |
| Standard inclusions | Toilet paper, hand sanitizer dispenser, urinal, vent stack, lockable door |
| Placement need | Level ground, 4 ft clearance on the door side, truck access within 25 ft |
How the order is sized
One standard unit covers up to 10 workers for a 40-hour week, or roughly 50 guests for a four-hour event.
Timing
Next business day delivery is typical; same-day is often possible on orders placed before 10:00am Central.
What moves the price
- Rental length, since a weekend rate carries the delivery and pickup cost across 2 to 3 days instead of 28
- Service frequency, where a second weekly pump-out typically adds 55 to 95 dollars per month
- Distance from the servicing hauler's yard, billed past roughly 30 miles
- Winter operation between November and March, which adds antifreeze and slower routes
- Site access, since units carried past a locked gate or up a grade cost more to service
The vocabulary that shows up on quotes and service tickets for this unit type includes holding tank, pump-out, service route, deodorizer, vent stack, OSHA sanitation, site access and weekly service. If a term on your quote is unfamiliar, ask. Every one of them corresponds to something we either do on site or bill for.

Where these numbers come from
These ranges are compiled from published Minnesota portable-restroom rental quotes and national rental cost guides current as of August 2026, cross-checked against the delivery, service and winterization line items that Minnesota haulers actually bill. They are planning ranges, not a price list. Every quote we issue is itemized and specific to your address, dates and unit count, and it is the quote - not this page - that we honor.

Call (763) 297-5164How much does it cost to rent a porta potty in Minnesota?
A standard porta potty rental is a self-contained, non-plumbed portable restroom delivered to your site on a set service schedule, typically a unit measuring roughly 44 by 48 inches at the base and about 7.5 feet tall with a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank. Expect $135 to $225 for a short-term placement and $175 to $325 per 28-day rental with weekly service.
What is included in a porta potty rental rate?
Delivery, placement and levelling, one service visit per week, and pickup. A service visit means the tank is pumped, the interior is sanitized and consumables are restocked. Footprint: 44 in x 48 in base, 90 to 93 in tall. Holding tank: 60 to 70 gallon usable capacity. If a competing quote sits well below our published range, the usual explanation is that it excludes either delivery or weekly service.
How is porta potty rental sized?
One standard unit covers up to 10 workers for a 40-hour week, or roughly 50 guests for a four-hour event. We apply that rule in writing on the quote rather than guessing, so the count is defensible to a safety officer, a permit reviewer or a client who asks why they are paying for four units instead of two.
How quickly can a standard portable restroom be delivered in Minnesota?
Next business day delivery is typical; same-day is often possible on orders placed before 10:00am Central. Delivery windows tighten as you move away from the Twin Cities: greater Minnesota runs on dedicated routes rather than daily coverage, so same-day is not available there and winter service intervals are quoted more conservatively.
What drives the price of porta potty rental up?
In order of impact: rental length, since a weekend rate carries the delivery and pickup cost across 2 to 3 days instead of 28; then service frequency, where a second weekly pump-out typically adds 55 to 95 dollars per month; then distance from the servicing hauler's yard, billed past roughly 30 miles. Every one of those appears as its own line on our quotes rather than being folded into a single rate, which is the only way two quotes become comparable.
