A basic porta potty rental in Mobile runs $100 to $350 a day depending on service length and delivery, with standard porta potty rental prices between $130 and $500 a week. It's the basic unit contractors and event planners reach for first: no sink, no flush, just a reliable seat and a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank that gets the job done, and the basic porta potty rental cost stays predictable whether you book a day or a month.
A standard unit is the workhorse of portable toilet rental in Mobile. Standard porta potty dimensions run about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stand roughly 92 inches tall, so that standard porta potty size fits tight lots and job sites without eating up space. Inside is a single seat over a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank, a roll of paper, and not much else. No plumbing hookup needed, which is the whole point.
Mobile contractors renting for a home addition in Tillmans Corner, 10.4 miles southwest, or a driveway pour near Prichard, 11.3 miles north, pick standard units because they're cheap to move and easy to service. If you want more than the basics, look at the deluxe flushable porta potty or an ADA accessible porta potty for accessible route requirements. For a full breakdown of every option, the standard porta potty rental page you're on is part of the larger portable restroom rental lineup, and the porta potty rental hub for Mobile ties them all together.

The standard porta potty rental price scales with how long you need the unit: daily rentals suit a one day project, a weekend suits a backyard party, and monthly suits a construction crew that's on site for a while. A weekend rental typically lands between $125 and $400, priced a bit above a single day but well under a full week. Delivery is usually billed separately, and the porta potty rental cost page breaks down what drives that number up or down. If you're comparing daily math against a longer job, check porta potty rental per day and monthly porta potty rental before you commit. Renters near Theodore, 12.8 miles southwest, often start with a week and extend once the job timeline slips, which is common enough that most rental agreements build in an easy extension.
OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the ratio for construction sites: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers once the crew passes 20, dropping to one per 50 once you hit 200 workers. That's the baseline for any construction site services job in Mobile, whether it's a single-unit driveway job or a multi-building site near Daphne, 16.8 miles east. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the standard service interval at once a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, so a small crew on a single unit is usually fine with weekly service, while a bigger crew needs more units and tighter servicing.
For events, the math is different since foot traffic spikes in short windows rather than spreading over a shift. The how many porta potties do i need guide walks through both scenarios in more detail, and the OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the construction-specific rules if you're bidding a job that needs to pass inspection. If your crew is doing paint, coatings, or pesticide work, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) kicks in a separate washing facility requirement, and a handwashing station rental covers that gap cleanly.
Placement matters more than people expect. ADA Standards section 403.5.1 calls for a minimum 36 inch clear route to any accessible unit, and if your site has one, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, never fewer than one. Ground has to be stable and firm under section 302.1, so a standard unit set on soft turf near a construction trench isn't just inconvenient, it's a compliance problem waiting to surface during an inspection.
Placement in the public right of way in Mobile needs confirming with the city before delivery day, since rules vary by site and we don't want to guess wrong on your behalf. The porta potty placement guide covers ground clearance, service truck access, and how to keep a unit out of the way of foot traffic. If your event or job site is farther out, say near Saraland, 19.2 miles north, or Spanish Fort, 21.1 miles east, delivery routing is still straightforward, and the service areas page lists coverage across Mobile and the towns around it. For anything urgent, emergency porta potty rental can usually get a unit out same day.
Usually, yes, for crews under 20 workers per OSHA 1926.51(c). Past that headcount you need additional seats and urinals per the ratio. Pair the unit count with a weekly service schedule and you're covered for most residential and small commercial jobs in Mobile.
Standard units have a seat, a tank and paper. Deluxe adds a flush mechanism and often a sink. If your event has higher expectations, like a wedding or a golf outing, check the deluxe flushable porta potty page for specs and pricing.
Sometimes, depending on placement, especially in the right of way or on public property. That needs confirming directly with the city. The porta potty permit requirements page walks through what to ask before delivery.
