Prices JUST UPDATED. Ballpark figures, rounded, excluding VAT. They reflect typical South African toilet, shower and sanitation hire rates. They are not our prices or quotations, and no provider is bound by them. Confirm what each quotation includes, such as delivery and collection, how often the unit is serviced, consumables and the minimum hire period.
The Units You Will Be Offered
- Four stand units. The common freestanding type, roughly the footprint of one cubicle.
- Six and eight stand units. For festivals and stadium work, usually trailer mounted.
- Screened units. With modesty panels, which is what makes them acceptable at a public event.
- Tank or drain fed. Either collecting into a tank or plumbed to a drain where one exists.
- Hand wash attached. Some units carry a basin or a sanitiser point, which matters here.
Why They Work
- Throughput. A stand is occupied for seconds. A cubicle is occupied for minutes.
- Cost. Roughly the price of a single cubicle for four times the capacity.
- Space. Four stands in the footprint of one unit, which matters in a tight site.
- Queue effect. Taking the men out of the main queue shortens it for everyone else.
- Fewer cubicles needed. Which is where the saving on a large event comes from.
Placing Them
- Screened and away from sight lines. Not facing the food stalls or the main walkway.
- Near the bar. Which is where the demand is, and where the queue forms otherwise.
- With a wash point. Non negotiable at a food event, and cheap to add.
- Lit. Same as cubicles once it gets dark.
- Reachable for servicing. Tanks fill quickly at a busy event and need emptying mid-event.
Get a price for your own event rather than a range.
Get the Best QuoteWhat Affects the Price
- Stand count. The main driver, and a trailer unit is cheaper per stand.
- How long the event runs. Day, weekend or standing hire.
- Whether it is screened. Screening is sometimes standard and sometimes an extra.
- Mid-event servicing. Tanks fill fast at a busy bar event, and the visit is priced per unit.
- Distance. As with every unit, transport is the variable outside the metros.
- Whether a drain is available. A plumbed unit avoids the tank emptying charge altogether.
What to Include in Your Request
- The guest count. And roughly the split, because this unit serves one side of it.
- The hours. And whether there is a bar.
- The venue. Address and surface.
- Where it can stand. Screened, near the bar and out of the main sight lines.
- Drain or tank. Whether there is a drain within reach.
- Hand washing. Whether you want a wash point attached or separate.
Before You Add Urinals
- Use them to cut cubicle count. That is where the saving is. One urinal unit can replace two or three cubicles.
- Insist on screening at a public event. An unscreened unit in the open is a complaint waiting to happen.
- Put a wash point beside it. Especially at any event serving food.
- Ask about the tank capacity. At a busy bar event a small tank needs a mid-event visit.
- Do not drop the ladies' count. The urinals free up the gents' side, not the whole facility.
- Check the standing surface. They are light and tip more easily than a cubicle.
Portable Urinal Hire FAQs
How many people does a urinal unit serve?
A four stand unit handles roughly 200 to 300 men over a four hour event, because each use takes seconds rather than minutes. At a bar event with high throughput, plan closer to 150 per unit and add a mid-event service.
Can urinals replace toilets?
Partly, and only on the gents' side. They take the volume off the cubicles, which means fewer cubicles overall, but you still need cubicles and you should not reduce the ladies' allocation at all. Used that way they are the cheapest capacity on the quote.
Are they screened?
The better units are, with modesty panels. Some basic units are not. At any public event, ask specifically, because an unscreened unit in an open field is the single most common complaint about them.
Where does the waste go?
Into a tank in the unit that is pumped out, or to a drain where the venue has one within reach. A plumbed unit avoids the emptying charge, so it is worth asking the venue before you book.
Do I need hand washing next to them?
Yes, and at a food event it is not optional. A sanitiser point is the minimum and a wash stand is better. Both are inexpensive next to the cost of the units themselves.
Are they worth it at a small event?
Below about 100 guests, usually not. The value comes from throughput, and at small numbers the cubicles are not the bottleneck. From roughly 150 guests upward with a bar, one unit changes the whole queue.
Urinals are the cheapest capacity on most event quotes from the suppliers on Toilet Rental South Africa and are hired alongside the cubicles rather than instead of them.
