Common questions
How much does it cost to hire a portable toilet?
Hire companies mostly quote by request. In Gauteng in November 2026, a standard chemical toilet for a building site is advertised from about R1,050 to R1,500 a month with weekly servicing, and a VIP flushing trailer from about R550 to R700 a day. These are starting prices, not quotes. Delivery, distance and extra servicing can cost more. Ask whether VAT is included.
How many toilets do I need?
For an event, a common starting point is 1 toilet for every 50 guests at a short daytime event, and 1 for every 35 to 40 at a wedding with drinks and a long afternoon. These are hire company rules of thumb, not a legal minimum. Larger events can have legal requirements, so check with your venue or municipality.
How often are hired toilets serviced?
Weekly servicing is common for site hire, and some firms list 4 services a month. Busier sites and larger events need it more often. Ask for the servicing plan in your quote.
Do I need to be there when the units arrive?
Someone should show the driver where the units go, or you should agree the spot beforehand. The vehicle needs to reach it, so mind gates, soft ground and slopes. Delivery times are set by the hire company, so ask for the time when you get the quote.
