What changes the price of a porta potty rental?
Five things set the price of a porta potty rental: the delivery location, the unit type, the dates (including same-day rush), the servicing schedule and the number of units. Every quote from Ethan Rental Works lists each of these as its own line, plus sales tax, so nothing is added later.
1. Location
Distance from Portland sets the delivery charge. Sumner and Robertson county addresses cost least to reach.
2. Unit type
Standard is lowest. A sink, a flush, a larger accessible cabin or a trailer each add cost.
3. Dates
Same-day orders add a rush fee. Spring and fall Saturdays book out first.
4. Servicing
Weekly cleaning is included on long rentals. Extra visits or mid-event service add cost.
5. Quantity
Units on one trip share one delivery charge, so the per-unit cost drops as you add units.
Not included
Damage, graffiti, units used for trash or chemicals, and relocation to a new address.
What does an itemized porta potty quote include?

Porta potty price questions
How much is a porta potty per day?
A porta potty is not usually priced per day. Event rentals are priced per event (one day or a full weekend costs the same), and long-term rentals are priced per 28-day cycle. A one-day party unit near Portland usually costs about $175 to $275 with delivery and pickup included.

Is tax included in the price?
Sales tax is added to the rental price. Your quote shows the subtotal, the tax and the total so you know the exact amount before you pay. Tax-exempt organizations such as churches and schools can send an exemption certificate when they book.
Do I pay a cleaning fee after it's picked up?
No cleaning fee is charged after pickup on a normal rental. Cleaning at the end is part of the price. Extra charges apply only for damage, graffiti, or a unit that has been used for trash or chemicals.
Why did another company quote a lower price?
Compare the full total, not the headline number. Some quotes leave out delivery, pickup, a removal fee, fuel or card fees, or weekly service. Ask every company for a total with tax for the same dates and the same unit.
Can I pay with a credit card or get invoiced?
