"Porta john" is just another name for a portable toilet, and Ventura Porta Pros rents them by the day, week, month or event. A standard unit runs $100 to $350 a day depending on term length, and most Ventura jobsites book by the week or month to cut the per-day cost.
Price depends on how long you need the unit and what kind you're renting. A basic porta john for a weekend backyard project costs less than the same unit held for a month on a construction site, because longer terms spread the delivery cost thinner. Check the porta potty rental cost breakdown for the full range, or the per day pricing if you only need one for a single event. Most Ventura customers renting for a full construction cycle end up on a monthly rental plan instead of restarting a weekly order every few weeks.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| deluxe | $85 - $1200 | $150 - $290 | - |
| ada | $200 - $400 | $200 - $400 | - |
A delivery fee applies on top of the unit price, usually $100 to $500 for a one-time day drop or $50 to $150 for a weekly service run. Ask about a weekend rate too. It's a separate line item and it isn't in the table above because weekend pricing runs on its own schedule.
OSHA requires it. Under [OSHA 1926.51(c)(1)], any construction site with 20 workers or fewer needs at least one toilet facility, and the ratio climbs from there, up to one seat and one urinal per 50 workers once a crew hits 200 or more. That rule alone drives most of the construction site services work Ventura Porta Pros handles across the city. If you're not sure how many units your crew needs, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math, and the full OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the rest of the standard.
A standard unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so it fits in tight side yards and narrow lot lines without eating into a work zone. At 92 inches tall, it clears most fence lines used for temporary fence rental around active sites. Crews spraying paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides also need washing facilities under [OSHA 1926.51(f)(1)], which a handwashing station rental satisfies alongside the toilet order. General potable water access on any jobsite falls under [OSHA 1926.51(a)(1)] as well.
For weddings, corporate events or film shoots, yes, because guests notice the difference immediately. A deluxe flushable porta potty has a flush mechanism and a nicer interior than a standard unit, and it runs $150 to $290 for a week versus the lower standard rate. For anything larger, an actual restroom trailer rental with separate stalls beats a row of single units for guest comfort. Ventura Porta Pros sets these up for wedding restroom rental bookings, event restroom rental needs, and film set restroom rental jobs where trailer interiors matter for cast comfort.
A 2 stall restroom trailer works for smaller gatherings, while a 4 stall restroom trailer or 8 stall restroom trailer handles a larger guest count without a line forming. If the venue also needs rinse stations, a shower trailer rental pairs well with a luxury restroom trailer for a full-day outdoor event in Ventura. Check the restroom trailer rental cost page before booking, since trailer pricing runs on a different scale than a single porta john.
Yes, an accessible unit costs more than a standard one, but it's required on most permitted job sites and public events. Under [ADA Standards section 213.2], any cluster of single-user portable toilets needs at least 5 percent accessible units, and never fewer than one. An ADA unit needs a 60 inch turning circle inside per [ADA Standards section 304.3.1], and the door opening has to clear 32 inches per [ADA Standards section 404.2.3]. The ADA accessible porta potty page has the full spec list, and ADA restroom requirements covers what a site plan needs to show. Rentals here typically run $200 to $400 a day, with weekly terms priced at the same range or higher since a longer rental never costs less than a shorter one.
Placement matters too. Route surfaces need to be stable and slip resistant per [ADA Standards section 302.1], which rules out setting a unit on loose gravel or soft turf near a curb cut. The porta potty placement guide covers ground conditions, clearance, and service truck access, and every delivery in Ventura needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for roll-off and larger trailer drops.
Ventura sites near El Rio, about 7.3 miles east, or Saticoy, 7.4 miles east, follow the same delivery process, just with a longer drive time built into scheduling. Port Hueneme sits 10.3 miles south and gets the same service windows. If your project also needs waste hauled off, pair the toilet order with a roll-off dumpster rental or check dumpster permit requirements before the drop.
For 20 workers or fewer, one unit satisfies [OSHA 1926.51(c)(1)]. Past that, add a seat and urinal per 40 workers. Bigger events usually plan by headcount and hours rather than strict OSHA ratios; the how many porta potties do I need guide has both approaches.
Nothing. Same unit, different regional name. Chicago and parts of the Midwest say porta john more often, while NJ and coastal markets tend to say porta potty. Ventura Porta Pros uses both terms for the same standard and deluxe units.
Yes. Weekend rates apply separately from day, week or month pricing. A standard unit weekend rental runs $125 to $400, and it's billed as its own rate rather than a multiple of the daily price.
Yes, and the baseline interval under [ANSI/PSAI Z4.3] is one service visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week. Busier sites or events need more frequent service. See how often are porta potties cleaned for details.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city; check with Ventura before setting a unit on a street or sidewalk. For private lots, most jobs don't need a permit. The porta potty permit requirements page has more on what to check first.
