What Does Portable Toilet Rental Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Ask any of the portable toilet rental companies working this county and you'll hear the same answer: price depends on unit type, rental length and how far we drive. A standard porta potty rental typically runs in the range below, and a deluxe flushable porta potty or ADA accessible porta potty costs more because of the extra plumbing and space, especially if you're after a luxury portable toilet rental for a wedding or corporate event. Delivery is billed separately in most cases.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| deluxe | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | -- |
| ada | $200-$400 | $240-$400 | -- |
Delivery fees generally fall between $100 and $500 for shorter jobs, and monthly delivery runs $120 to $420. If you're comparing the price for portable toilet rental against a deluxe or ADA unit, the table above shows where each option lands. If you are budgeting a longer job, our porta potty rental cost page breaks down the math further, and the monthly porta potty rental page covers extended terms in more depth. For a quick daily number, see porta potty rental per day.
How Many Portable Toilets Do I Need?
Construction crews follow OSHA 1926.51(c)(1): one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once you pass 20, scaling to one per 50 workers at 200 or more. Office and retail settings use the general industry ratio under 29 CFR 1910.141(c)(1)(i) instead, since that standard applies to non-construction workplaces. Farm crews doing hand labor fall under OSHA 1928.110, which calls for one facility per 20 employees, reachable within a quarter mile walk, along with potable water under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1).
Events run on a different logic entirely, based on headcount and hours rather than employee counts. If you are not sure which category your job falls into, our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through both, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page goes deeper on the construction-site math. A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, which matters when you're calculating service intervals for a bigger crew.
Are Portable Toilets ADA Accessible?
Yes, an ADA-compliant unit gives you a wider footprint, a 60 inch turning circle under ADA Standards 304.3.1, and a door opening that meets the 32 inch minimum in ADA Standards 404.2.3. Where units are clustered, ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of the units to be accessible, never fewer than one. The route leading to the unit also needs a stable, slip-resistant surface per ADA Standards 302.1, and any ramp on site should not exceed a 1:12 slope under ADA Standards 405.2.
If your job site or event in Fort Lauderdale needs accessible units, our ADA restroom requirements page covers the full spec sheet, and the ADA accessible porta potty page has current pricing. Reach for one hand-operable latch, since ADA Standards 309.4 caps required force at 5 pounds and rules out tight grasping or twisting mechanisms.

Placement in the public right of way in Fort Lauderdale needs confirming with the city before delivery, since we have not verified a specific ordinance for this. Our crew can talk through options once we know your address. For guidance on where a unit should sit relative to your structure, driveway or property line, the porta potty placement guide is a good starting point, and the porta potty permit requirements page explains what to check with the city before your rental date.
Beyond single units, Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros also handles restroom trailer rental for weddings and larger events, roll-off dumpster rental for renovation debris, septic pumping service for tanks nearing their 3 to 5 year service window, temporary fence rental for job site security, and handwashing station rental to pair with any toilet order. If you're comparing a porta john rental against a full portable restroom rental package, both terms describe the same core unit, just packaged differently for the job.
How much does portable toilet rental cost per day?
A standard unit generally runs $100 to $350 a day, with the wide range driven by delivery distance, rental length and how many units you need. Deluxe and ADA units cost more. See our porta potty rental cost page for a full breakdown by unit type.
How far in advance should I book?
Book as early as you can, especially for weekend events or construction start dates, since availability tightens around holidays and busy event weekends. Fort Lauderdale Porta Pros can often accommodate short-notice orders. Our emergency porta potty rental page covers rush delivery options if your timeline is tight.
What is the difference between standard and deluxe units?
A standard unit has a 60 to 70 gallon tank and a basic hand sanitizer dispenser, while a deluxe flushable unit adds a foot-pump flush, a sink and more interior space. Deluxe units cost more per day but suit weddings, corporate events and any job where comfort matters, and a deluxe portable toilet rental is worth the upgrade whenever guests will notice the difference. See deluxe flushable porta potty for specs.
How often are the units serviced?
The industry baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 is one service visit per week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week, though busier events or job sites often need more frequent visits. Our how often are porta potties cleaned page explains how that scales with headcount.
Do I need a permit to place a portable toilet in Fort Lauderdale?
Possibly, depending on where the unit sits, especially if it's in the public right of way. That placement needs confirming directly with the city since we don't have a verified ordinance number to cite here. Check our porta potty permit requirements page before your delivery date, or call ahead and we'll help you sort it out.
