A standard porta potty in Nashville runs about $150 for a day, $200 for a week and roughly $200 a month on a longer contract. Delivery, weekly service and pickup are usually billed as separate lines. Fancier units and restroom trailers cost more. Nashville Porta Pros quotes each job by unit type and how long you keep it.
When you rent a porta potty in Nashville, the number people quote most is the standard porta potty rate, and that is where most jobs land. A single unit for a weekend event sits higher per day than the same unit on a month-long construction site, because short rentals carry more setup cost. Whether you want to rent a portable restroom in the flushable deluxe unit or an ADA accessible model, the day rate climbs. A restroom trailer is a different animal entirely. Every unit in our port o john rental fleet, listed on the porta john page, carries a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, which is the number that drives how often it needs servicing.

Here are the measured portable toilet rental cost bands, the same numbers on the portable toilet rental page, for Nashville. Weekend is a premium short-term rate, so we quote it in prose below the table instead of mixing it in. A standard unit for a single weekend runs about $250. An ADA unit for a weekend runs about $240.
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $150 | $200 | $200 |
| Deluxe flushable | $85 | $250 | see note |
| ADA accessible | $200 | $240 | see note |
| Restroom trailer | $800 | $1,397 | see note |
Deluxe and ADA month rates depend on unit count and service frequency, so we price those to the job. The monthly rental page walks through longer contracts. A 2 stall trailer sits at the low end of trailer pricing.
These are billed apart from the unit rent, and they matter. When you rent a porta john, a lot of the sticker shock on a portable restroom invoice is here, not in the daily rate. Delivery on a short rental runs $100 to $500 depending on distance and access. Weekly service, the pump-and-restock visit, runs $30 to $220. On a monthly contract, service is folded in around $100 to $300. Pickup mirrors delivery.
| Fee | Short-term | Weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery | $100 to $500 | $100 to $150 | $120 to $420 |
| Service visit | see weekend | $30 to $220 | $100 to $300 |
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavy use needs more. See the cleaning schedule and why units do not have to smell.
Unit type is the first lever. A standard unit is the cheapest thing on the truck. The second is duration, and longer always costs more overall even when the daily rate drops. Distance is the third. We measure it. Berry Hill is 4.4 miles south of downtown Nashville and Brentwood is 15.3 miles south, so a run to Franklin at 21.4 miles carries more delivery than one across town. Usage drives service frequency under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which sets one toilet for up to 20 workers. Site access matters too. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance, and a restroom trailer needs a level pad and often power. The placement guide covers ground conditions, and the cost overview covers the rest.
Count your people and your hours first. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) requires one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, and one per 50 at 200 or more. That formula is on the OSHA requirements page with worked math on the how many do I need guide. Events run on a different rhythm because everyone shows up at once. A wedding uses different counts than a festival or a marathon. Multiply your unit count by the standard week rate, add delivery once and service per unit, and you have a fair estimate. For a construction dumpster or temporary fence on the same site, bundle the delivery.
A fair quote names the unit, the duration, the delivery fee, the service interval and the pickup, each on its own line. No mystery bundles. If a number looks low, check whether service is included or billed weekly on top. A handwashing station is a separate line too, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer at that station, not just sanitizer. Where crews apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, so that is not optional on those jobs. Ask about the tank. Every standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons. Ask about ADA if the public uses it: ADA Standards section 213.2 wants at least 5 percent of clustered units accessible, never fewer than one. Compare against the checklist and our about page.
Three worked scenarios, built from the bands above. A backyard home renovation in Oak Hill, 9.3 miles south, takes one standard unit for a month at the month rate plus one delivery and monthly service. A 60-worker jobsite needs two units under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), each on a weekly service visit, plus a portable sink. A 200-guest wedding leans on a luxury restroom trailer with delivery and a single service. Each is priced from the per-day rates and the trailer cost page. Add a storage container at the month rate if the crew needs secure tool storage, or a 10 yard dumpster for debris.
Yes, and the moves are simple. Book the monthly rate instead of stacking weeks if the job runs long, because the per-day cost drops. Bundle deliveries. If you already have a dumpster or fence order, add the toilet to the same trip and pay one delivery. Choose the standard unit over the deluxe where the crowd allows. Keep access clear so the service truck is not fighting the site. When you have port o potties for rent options across several unit types, right-size the count using the placement guide rather than over-ordering. For emergency needs or a septic pump-out, call early so it is not a rush. Questions go to contact or the FAQ.
A single standard unit for one day runs about $150, plus a delivery fee that starts around $100. A deluxe flushable unit costs more per day. See the full per-day pricing for other unit types and event rates.
A standard unit for a week is about $200 in Nashville, with one service visit built into most weekly rentals under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline. Delivery and pickup are separate. Heavier use may need a second service, priced on the cleaning page.
A standard unit runs about $200 a month, and the per-day cost is lower than short rentals because service is folded in. That works well for construction sites and long renovations. Compare options on the monthly rental page.
Delivery covers the truck, the driver and the drive. Distance drives it, which is why a Nashville job costs less than one out to Gallatin, 27.4 miles northeast. Fees run $100 to $500 short-term. Bundling with a dumpster order saves a trip.
Usually a little. An ADA unit runs about $230 a day and $185 a week. The extra buys the room ADA Standards section 304.3.1 requires, a 60 inch turning circle, plus a door meeting the 32 inch clear width in section 404.2.3. Details on the ADA page.
A trailer starts around $800 a day and $1,397 a week, and a full event package runs higher. Trailers need a level pad and often power. The 4 stall and 8 stall options scale with guest count. Full numbers sit on the trailer cost page.
Plan for delivery, weekly service and pickup as separate lines, plus a handwashing station if OSHA applies. On paint or herbicide work, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) makes washing facilities mandatory. Long jobs may want a storage container too. The checklist lists them all.
If the unit sits on your own property, usually not. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city of Nashville before delivery, and we name no specific rule here because it is not verified. The permit guide covers what to ask.
