How It Works
- Describe the job. One short request: what you need, how many and for how long.
- Suppliers reply. Those covering your area send availability and prices.
- You compare. Side by side, on what is included, not on who answered first.
- You appoint. Directly with the supplier. We are not party to the hire.
What to Settle Before You Hire
- How many units. Set from the peak headcount or the guest count, not from the first day.
- How long. A month costs far less per day than a single day, and most site quotes carry a four week minimum.
- Who services it. Weekly is the standard, and whether it is in the rate is the usual reason two quotes differ.
- Where the waste goes. A licensed disposal point, a sewer connection, or a tank a tanker empties.
- Where it will stand. Level ground a service vehicle can reach within a hose length.
- Hand washing. A wash stand beside the units, which is what an inspection asks about.
Choosing the Right Unit
- Standard portable. The builder's unit. Cheapest, hardest wearing, no water or power needed.
- Flushing. A fresh water flush and often a basin. Worth it for anything public facing.
- VIP. Flushing, with a basin, a mirror and a light. The usual choice for a function.
- Luxury trailer. Ceramic bowls, vanities and hot water. A different fleet and a different budget.
- Accessible. Wider, with level entry and grab rails. At least one at any public event.
- Urinals. Four stands for roughly the price of one cubicle, and the fastest way to cut a queue.

Get the Best QuoteWhat to Include in Your Request
- The address. Suburb and town, so a supplier knows whether they deliver there.
- How many units. And how many people will be using them.
- The dates. Delivery and collection, or the month the hire starts.
- What it is for. A building site, an event, a wedding, a farm or a home.
- The access. Whether a bakkie, a truck or a tow vehicle can reach the spot.
- Water and power. Whether there is any on site, which decides what can be placed.
Availability
- Site units. Usually within a day or two in the metros, longer further out.
- Event bookings. Two to three months ahead in season, and longer for December.
- Luxury trailers. Months ahead for a Saturday in the wedding season.
- Tanker work. Same day for an emergency, at an after hours rate.
- Ablution containers. Allow a week for transport, offload and connection.
- Long contracts. Quoted after the headcount and the programme are known.
Comparing Suppliers
- Separate the four line items. Hire, delivery, servicing, collection. Then the quotes compare.
- Ask what a service visit includes. Pump out, rinse, chemical and paper, or only the pump out.
- Ask where the waste goes. A licensed disposal point, and a supplier will name it.
- Check the minimum hire period. Four weeks is common and applies to a ten day job too.
- Ask about the deposit. What it covers and when it comes back.
- Check the distance. A depot near you usually beats a lower rate further away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply the units yourselves?
No. Toilet Rental South Africa helps you find the best quote, fast. Independent hire companies own the units, deliver them, service them and carry their own insurance.
What does it cost to use?
Nothing to request quotes. You deal directly with whichever supplier you appoint, on their terms.
How many quotes will I get?
It depends on your area and the job. The metros have a great many suppliers and most requests get several replies; smaller towns have fewer, and a specialist job such as a luxury trailer at a remote farm venue narrows the field further.
How much does a portable toilet cost to hire?
Roughly R1,100 to R1,900 a month for a standard unit on a site including a weekly service, plus delivery and collection, and roughly R750 to R1,600 for a single event day delivered and collected. The real figure turns mostly on distance and on how many units you take.
How many toilets do I need?
On a building site the construction regulations set a minimum of one facility per sex for every 30 workers, and most contractors plan on better. At an event, about one unit per 75 to 100 guests for a short function, and one per 50 once it runs longer or there is a bar.
How often does a unit have to be serviced?
Weekly for a unit used by up to about ten people, and twice a week above that or in summer. The service visit is a pump out, rinse, re-dose and restock. A tank left past its service interval is the usual reason a site ends up with a unit nobody will use.
What is the difference between a VIP unit and a luxury trailer?
A VIP unit is a better portable toilet: flushing, with a basin, a mirror and a light. A luxury trailer is a built restroom with ceramic bowls, vanities, hot running water and often air conditioning. The gap in price is large and so is the gap in finish.
Can a unit be delivered to a farm or a remote site?
Yes, and transport is what changes. Outside the metros delivery is charged on distance and can exceed the hire itself, so a supplier with a depot near you will often beat a cheaper rate from further away.
