"Porta john" is just another name for a portable toilet, and Southfield Porta Pros rents them by the day, week, or month with delivery scheduled around your job or event. A standard unit runs $100 to $350 a day depending on term length, and most Southfield renters book a week or a full month to bring the per-day cost down.
A basic porta john rental from Southfield Porta Pros includes the unit, delivery, pickup, and one service visit. That's the standard portable toilet most job sites and backyard projects order. The unit itself holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank and stands about 92 inches tall on a 44 by 48 inch footprint, so it fits tight lots without eating your whole staging area. Service frequency follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the industry baseline of one visit a week for up to 10 users across a 40 hour week, though busier sites need more. If you want something nicer than the basic unit, ask about the deluxe flushable porta potty or a full restroom trailer rental for weddings and corporate events. Some customers searching porta john rental actually need an ADA unit for a job site or public event, and Southfield Porta Pros stocks those too. Delivery fees sit separate from the unit price and land in the $100 to $500 range depending on distance and timing, with rush or same-day jobs at the higher end.

Porta john rental prices depend on unit type and how long you keep it. Here's what Southfield Porta Pros typically quotes:
| Unit | Day | Week | Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard porta john | $100 - $350 | $130 - $500 | $125 - $325 |
| ADA accessible unit | $200 - $400 | $200 - $400 | -- |
| Deluxe flushable unit | $85 - $1,200 | $150 - $290 | -- |
A weekend rate for a standard unit runs $125 to $400, which fits a lot of one-off Southfield events better than a full week. Monthly renters get the lowest per-day cost, which is why most construction crews book that way instead of renting daily. See monthly porta potty rental and porta potty rental per day for term-specific detail, or porta john rental rates elsewhere if you're comparing markets like porta john rental Chicago or porta john rental NJ against what Southfield Porta Pros charges locally. Rates here track close to the regional average, though every market has its own delivery logistics.
Placement in the public right of way, on a street, sidewalk, or municipal easement, needs confirming with the City of Southfield before delivery. We haven't verified a specific ordinance number for this page, so don't take a fence line or curb placement for granted. If your unit sits entirely on private property, permitting usually isn't an issue, but call ahead if you're staging near a roadway or a public lot. Read the porta potty permit requirements guide before your delivery date, and check the porta potty placement guide for setup basics like ground clearance and door swing. Job sites governed by OSHA also need to think about toilet counts, not just placement. OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio at one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. That's separate from any city permit question. If you're staffing a large crew, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math, and OSHA portable toilet requirements covers the full standard.
Yes, and it's a different product from the basic unit. A luxury porta john rental, what most people mean when they say deluxe or restroom trailer, adds a flushable toilet, a sink, and finished interior paneling. Southfield Porta Pros offers these as standalone deluxe units or as multi-stall trailers for weddings, festivals, and corporate events. Check the luxury restroom trailer page or step up to a 2 stall restroom trailer or 4 stall restroom trailer if you're hosting more than a handful of guests. ADA access matters here too. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where single-user units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, be accessible, with a 36 inch clear route under section 403.5.1 and a 60 inch turning circle under section 304.3.1. Southfield venues hosting public events should plan for this from the start rather than adding a unit after layout is set. For weddings specifically, see wedding restroom rental, and for larger festivals or fairs, festival restroom rental and county fair restrooms cover setup at scale.
Book standard units about a week out for normal jobs; events and holiday weekends fill faster. Southfield Porta Pros can sometimes turn around same-day or next-day requests, but availability tightens fast for weekend events. Call early if you need an ADA unit or a trailer, since those inventories are smaller.
Yes. Monthly and weekly rentals include scheduled service visits, typically weekly per the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline. Heavier-use sites, like a construction crew of 30, need more frequent visits. Ask Southfield Porta Pros to adjust the schedule when you book if your headcount is high.
Nothing. They're the same unit, just different regional names. Southfield Porta Pros uses both terms because customers search differently, but you'll get the identical standard portable toilet either way, same tank size, same footprint.
Yes. A single standard unit works for smaller backyard gatherings, and weekend pricing runs $125 to $400 depending on unit type. For events over roughly 50 guests, check event restroom rental for guidance on how many units you actually need.
If workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides, or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities on site. Most general events and job sites add one anyway. See handwashing station rental or portable sink rental to pair with your unit.
