A standard porta potty in Chesapeake, VA runs about $130 to $500 per week, with $150 a day typical for short jobs and around $200 a month on a longer contract. Delivery, weekly service and pickup are usually billed on top. Deluxe flushable units, ADA models and restroom trailers cost more. Read on for the full breakdown.
Most people looking to rent a porta john want a standard porta potty rental price, and that starts around $100 a day and $130 a week here. The unit itself is not the whole bill. You pay to get it delivered, you pay for the weekly clean, and you pay to have it hauled off. Those three lines matter as much as the base rate. A one-day backyard job and a six-month build site both rent "a porta potty," but they price nothing alike. If you want the per-day figure on its own, we split that out. For a longer contract, the monthly rental page shows how the math changes. Every quote we write for Chesapeake porta potty rental names those parts so you see where the money goes. Nothing hidden.

Weekend rates run higher because they are a premium short window. A standard unit over a weekend is about $125 to $400, an ADA accessible porta potty about $199 to $300, and a deluxe flushable unit sits in the day band above. For a restroom trailer the weekend runs $900 to $3,000. See the trailer cost page for how stall count drives that.
Because the units are not the same and neither are the jobs. A basic portable toilet rental is one tank and a seat, and the portable toilet rental cost tracks that simplicity. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds a foot pump and a sink, so it costs more to stock and service. Distance moves the number too. A drop in central Chesapeake is one thing; a run out toward Moyock, NC at 20.2 miles southeast, or Suffolk at 28.3 miles west, adds drive time to the delivery fee. Duration matters, as the rental cost guide and the checklist both spell out. Service frequency is the quiet one. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit a week as the baseline for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Push past that headcount and you buy more visits. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons, so a busy site fills fast. More people, more pumping, higher bill.
Three separate things, and it helps to see them apart. Delivery is the truck run to your address in Chesapeake and the set-down on firm ground. Service is the scheduled clean: pump the 60 to 70 gallon tank, restock paper, wipe it down. Pickup is the haul-out at the end. On a weekly porta john rental, where port o potties for rent get serviced on schedule, the delivery fee lands around $50 to $150 and the weekly service fee around $30 to $220, depending on access and how far past the service area map you sit. For emergency porta potty rental after a storm, expect the day-rate delivery band because we are dispatching off-schedule. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), a real washing station needs soap and towels, not just sanitiser, so if you add a handwashing station rental that gets serviced too. The cleaning-frequency guide walks through what a service visit includes.
That depends on your headcount, and there is a rule behind it. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets construction sanitation: one toilet for up to 20 workers, then one seat and one urinal per 40 workers past that. Our how many porta potties do I need page runs the count, and the OSHA requirements guide has the full table. Events use a different logic driven by hours and drinking, covered on the event restroom rental page. A wedding leans deluxe; a festival leans volume. If your crew handles paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on top of toilets, so budget a portable sink rental. Where you cluster single-user units, ADA Standards section 213.2 says at least 5 percent, never fewer than one, must be accessible. That one unit is part of your quote, not an afterthought.
Placement changes the price when it changes the drive or the access. A unit needs firm, level ground, which ADA Standards section 302.1 calls stable, firm and slip resistant for accessible routes. Tight backyards, soft turf and long carries all add labor. Our placement guide covers the practical side. If you want a unit in the public right of way, on a street or sidewalk, that placement needs confirming with the City of Chesapeake before we set it. We name no permit rule here because it is not verified; the permit requirements page says the same plainly. On private property in Chesapeake the placement is your call as long as the truck can reach it. A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so leave clearance overhead for tree limbs and eaves. For home renovation jobs, driveway placement usually keeps the delivery fee at the low end.
Often, yes, because one truck makes fewer trips. If you are running a build, pairing a toilet with a roll-off dumpster rental and a storage container rental on the same site cuts repeat delivery runs. A roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to set down, so plan the lot. Dumpster pricing sits on its own bands: about $51 to $112 a day and $426 to $778 a week, broken down on the dumpster rental cost page with sizes and dimensions alongside. A 20 yard dumpster suits most remodels. Storage containers run about $100 to $250 a month, detailed on the storage cost page. Add temporary fence rental at roughly $30 to $75 a day for site security. Full construction site services get quoted as one package. If your site runs on a septic system, keep septic pumping service on the same vendor list.
Here are three worked scenarios for Chesapeake, so you can see the shape of a bill before you call.
A weekend backyard party: one standard unit, weekend rate around $125 to $400, delivered Friday, picked up Monday. That is the whole job. Add a hand sanitizer station rental if you want, though under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) sanitiser alone does not count as a washing facility.
A three-month remodel: one standard portable restroom rental, the portable restrooms rental cost sitting on the monthly band near $125 to $325, plus weekly service at $30 to $220 a visit and one delivery and one pickup. The monthly rental page shows the running total.
A 40-person build under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): two toilets minimum, one accessible per ADA Standards section 213.2, serviced weekly. Pair it with a construction dumpster and get one number.

A standard porta potty rental starts around $100 a day in Chesapeake, before delivery and pickup. The day-rate delivery fee runs higher than the weekly one, so a single day is not always the cheapest way to rent. See the per-day page for the split.
No. Delivery, service and pickup are billed as separate lines, running about $50 to $150 for weekly delivery. That is standard across the trade and it keeps the unit price honest. A run out to Norfolk at 22.6 miles north costs more drive time.
A deluxe flushable porta potty runs about $150 to $290 a week. It adds a flush and a sink, so it costs more than a basic port o john rental. Weddings and offices tend to choose it. The event restroom page explains when it is worth the jump.
A restroom trailer rental spans a wide band, roughly $1,397 to $1,650 a week depending on stall count. A 2 stall trailer sits low, an 8 stall trailer high. The trailer cost page breaks it down by size.
Once a week is the baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Heavier use needs more visits. The tank holds 60 to 70 gallons and fills faster with a crowd. Our cleaning guide covers what each visit includes.
On private property, no. For placement in the public right of way, that needs confirming with the City of Chesapeake first, and we name no rule because it is not verified. The permit requirements page and placement guide both say so plainly.
Yes. Emergency porta potty rental dispatches off-schedule, so expect the day-rate delivery band. We serve storm and disaster relief sanitation needs across Chesapeake and out toward Virginia Beach at 24.2 miles northeast. Call and we will move.
