A standard porta potty rental in Lexington runs $100 to $350 a day, $130 to $500 a week or $125 to $325 a month depending on rental length and delivery distance. It's the same unit contractors, event planners and homeowners have used for decades: a single stall, a holding tank, and no hookups needed. Lexington Porta Pros delivers them across town, and the portable toilet rental overview covers how that process works start to finish.
A standard unit is the basic, no-frills toilet you picture when someone says porta potty. No sink, no flush handle, no lights. Just a seat over a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, a roll of paper, and a door that locks. On the ground it measures about 44 by 48 inches, and it stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits in a driveway, a job site corner, or a tight spot at a backyard party without eating up much space. If you need something with a flush and a hand rinse built in, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty instead. For guests or workers who need a wider door and more turning room, the ADA accessible porta potty is built to a different standard entirely. Most people renting for a weekend cookout or a few days of driveway concrete work just need the standard box, and that's what this page covers, though the home renovation porta potty page is worth a look if the job runs longer than a weekend. It's also sometimes called a porta john rental, same unit, different name depending on who you ask. Pair it with a handwashing station rental if you want a rinse option nearby without paying for the flush upgrade. For sites needing several units and a placement plan, our portable restroom rental page walks through layout, and the main porta potty rental in Lexington hub links out to every option we offer.
Price depends mostly on how long you keep the unit and how far Lexington Porta Pros has to drive to deliver it. Daily rentals run higher per day than a full week, and a week costs less per day than renting month to month makes sense for it. Delivery fees are separate and depend on distance and scheduling, and larger jobs often pair a unit with a roll-off dumpster rental to cover both waste streams at once.
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $100 | $150 | $350 |
| Week | $130 | $200 | $500 |
| Month | $125 | $200 | $325 |
| Weekend | $125 | $250 | $400 |
Delivery itself typically falls between $100 and $150 for a single trip, though it can run higher if the job is out past Winchester or Georgetown. Nicholasville sits 15.3 miles southwest of Lexington and Versailles is 15.7 miles west, both close enough that delivery usually stays near the low end of that range, and jobs in either town can also check porta potty rental in Nicholasville or porta potty rental in Versailles directly. For a full breakdown of what drives the number up or down, the porta potty rental cost page goes deeper, and if you're renting by the day specifically, check porta potty rental per day for that math. Long jobs should look at monthly porta potty rental instead of re-booking weekly, and if the site also needs fencing, temporary fence rental is worth bundling into the same delivery.
OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, dropping to one per 50 once you hit 200 workers or more. That's the number inspectors check on job sites in Lexington and everywhere else. Event planners don't fall under that rule, but the industry still uses a similar guideline: ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets one service visit per week as the baseline for up to 10 users across a standard 40 hour week, which is a decent proxy for how fast a unit fills up under steady event traffic. If you're not sure where your headcount lands, how many porta potties do I need runs the numbers for weddings, festivals and job sites separately. Contractors bidding city work should also read OSHA portable toilet requirements before finalizing a unit count, since undercounting is one of the more common callback reasons we see, and general construction site services planning should account for that headcount from the start. For sites also using paints, coatings or similar chemicals, separate handwashing rules apply under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), which is worth checking against your handwashing requirements before the crew shows up, and a portable sink rental is an easy way to cover that requirement on site.
Placement matters more than people expect. The unit needs level, stable ground, ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for surfaces that are stable, firm and slip resistant, and that standard is a good bar to hold even for a non-accessible unit, since a tilted or sinking porta potty is a service headache and a liability one. Keep it close enough to the work or the party that people actually use it, but far enough that servicing trucks can reach it without threading through parked cars or landscaping. If the unit is going in the public right of way in Lexington, that placement needs confirming with the city before delivery day, so check with Lexington Porta Pros and the relevant city office rather than assuming. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground conditions, clearance and driveway slope in more detail, and porta potty permit requirements is the place to start if you're unsure whether your job needs a sign-off first, while the service areas page lists every town we reach beyond Lexington proper.

Yes. Standard and basic both mean the same no-frills unit: a seat, a holding tank, no sink or flush. Deluxe units add a flush handle and hand rinse. If you want either of those features, look at the deluxe or ADA options instead.
