Tips to find public toilets close by
Are you in an area where there are no public, or private toilets near your location at all? Here are a few things you can do:
- If there is a restaurant near you, ask the waiter for a permission to pee, else wise, or you can sit down and order something to eat, and then you can pee like any regular customer of the place.
- If there is a gas station, with a convenience store close to you, you can go there and ask if their toilets are open for the public.
- In case there are no gas stations and restaurants nearby, simply find a corner where no one can see you and go ahead… (If you are a woman, don’t forget to take some toilet paper with you) and enjoy the nature.
Where can I pee near me right now?
If you need to pee right now and there is no public toilet in sight, the fastest options near almost any location are a gas station or convenience store, a fast-food restaurant (such as McDonald’s, Burger King or Taco Bell), a supermarket or grocery store, a shopping mall, a big-box store (Target, Walmart, Home Depot, IKEA), a public library, a hotel lobby, or a park or transit-station restroom. Open the map above, allow location access, and head to the closest one.
Where can I poop near me?
For a number two you’ll want a private, clean stall. The most reliable options are large supermarkets, big-box stores like Target and Walmart, bookstores, department stores, hotel lobbies and shopping malls - they usually have several stalls and are cleaned regularly. Fast-food chains and gas stations work in a pinch when nothing else is nearby.
Where can I find a free public toilet near me?
Free public toilets are most commonly found in public libraries, parks, shopping malls, supermarkets, government buildings, and train and bus stations, as well as many fast-food restaurants and gas stations. None of these normally charge to use the toilet, although in some places a small purchase is expected.
How do I find a bathroom that is open now or 24 hours?
For a restroom that is open right now, look for 24-hour gas stations and convenience stores, 24-hour fast-food locations, hospitals, and large hotels - these often have facilities available around the clock. Use the live map above to see which places near your current location are open at this moment.
Where can I find a porta potty near me?
Portable toilets (porta potties) are usually found at construction sites, public parks, beaches, sports fields, campgrounds, festivals, fairs and outdoor events. If you are near any of these, there is a good chance a porta potty is available for public use.
Are there accessible, family and gender-neutral restrooms near me?
Many public restrooms now offer wheelchair-accessible stalls, family or baby-changing rooms, and gender-neutral single-stall bathrooms. You will most reliably find these in larger venues such as shopping malls, airports, hospitals, libraries, museums and newer big-box stores. Look for the accessibility or family-restroom signage near the main entrance or the customer-service area.
Stores, restaurants and gas stations that let you use the restroom
Many businesses will let you use their restroom even if you are not a paying customer, though policies vary by location and a small purchase is often appreciated (and sometimes required). Places that commonly have public-accessible restrooms include:
- Gas stations & convenience stores - QuikTrip, Wawa, Buc-ee’s, Sheetz, 7-Eleven and most highway stations. Often the cleanest option and open 24/7.
- Fast-food restaurants - McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy’s and similar.
- Coffee shops - note that since 2025, Starbucks requires a purchase to use its restrooms.
- Big-box & department stores - Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, IKEA and Costco (for members).
- Supermarkets & grocery stores - Whole Foods, Kroger, Safeway, Publix and most large grocers.
- Public libraries & bookstores - your local library and stores like Barnes & Noble are free, clean and require no purchase.
- Hotels - walk in confidently; lobby restrooms are usually just off the main entrance.
- Shopping malls, museums, parks and transit stations - almost always have public restrooms available.
Tip: department stores, large supermarkets and hotel lobbies tend to have the cleanest restrooms, while gas stations and 24-hour convenience stores are your best bet when you need somewhere that is open late at night.

Types of public toilets
There are several types of toilets, below we will list the different toilet types we are most familiar with:
- Free public toilets: those are places where you can just come in and pee without getting any special permission from the owners of the place, usually, free public toilets can be found in malls, shops and other public venues.
- Cheap public toilets: these are usually cleaner and nicer, and also smells better, because there are workers cleaning the bathrooms on an hourly, or at least a daily basis, this is why they cost a few pennies.
