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.
What You Can Hire
- Guard huts. Small, often a single square metre or two, with a window and a door.
- Store rooms. Lockable steel units for tools and materials, in several sizes.
- Site offices. 3m or 6m containers converted with windows, a door and a desk space.
- Change rooms. Benches and hooks, hired where crews change on site.
- Combination units. Office and store in one container, split by a partition.
Delivery and Placement
- Transport. Quoted separately on almost every hut hire, because it varies with distance.
- Offload. A small hut comes off a hiab. A 6m container may need a crane truck.
- The base. Level, firm ground, usually sleepers or a slab. Nearly always the client's job.
- Position. Near the gate for a guard hut, near the work for a store.
- Power. If you want lights or a plug, the connection is normally the client's electrician.
Security and Condition
- Locks. Check what is fitted and whether you supply your own padlock.
- Anchoring. On open sites, chained or bolted. Huts are stolen more often than people expect.
- Condition on delivery. Photograph it on arrival. That record settles the collection inspection.
- Insurance. Nearly always the client's, for the hire period.
- Damage on collection. Assessed against the delivery condition, which is why the photographs matter.

Get the Best QuoteWhat Affects the Price
- The size of the unit. A guard hut and a 6m office are different orders of cost.
- How long you need it. Monthly rates fall on longer hires, sharply past three months.
- Transport. Charged each way and usually the largest single item on a short hire.
- The offload method. Hiab or crane, decided by the unit size and the site access.
- The fit out. Windows, shelving, a partition or power points.
- Where the site is. Distance, and whether a truck can reach the standing position.
What to Include in Your Request
- What the hut is for. A guard, storage, an office or changing.
- How long you need it. Start date and roughly how many months.
- The site address. And the access for a delivery truck.
- The ground. Slab, compacted gravel or soft soil.
- Whether you need power. And whether there is a supply to connect to.
- Security on site. Whether the site is fenced and guarded at night.
Before You Book a Site Hut
- Get the transport quoted separately. Both ways. It is the number that makes two similar hires differ.
- Prepare the base first. A delivery that cannot be offloaded is a delivery you still pay for.
- Photograph it on arrival. Every side. It is the only defence at the collection inspection.
- Check the lock arrangement. And whether you need to supply your own.
- Confirm the minimum period. A month is normal and it applies to a two week job too.
- Ask about the deposit. Amount, what it covers, and how soon it is returned.
Site Hut Hire FAQs
What does a site hut cost per month?
Roughly R850 to R1,800 for a guard hut and R1,400 to R4,500 for a site office container, depending on size and fit out. Transport is almost always quoted on top and charged each way, and on a short hire it can exceed the rent itself.
Who prepares the ground?
The client. Sleepers, a slab or well compacted gravel, level enough that the doors open and close properly. A unit dropped on uneven ground racks the frame and the damage is assessed against you at collection.
Is transport included?
Rarely. Expect it as a separate line, charged in and out. A supplier with a yard near your site will usually beat one with a lower monthly rate and a longer drive, so compare the total rather than the rent.
Can I get power in it?
Yes, but the hut arrives with fittings rather than a supply. Connecting it to the site board is your electrician's job, and it is worth asking what is already fitted before you plan the cabling.
What is the minimum hire?
Usually one month, for the same reason as on toilets: the transport is the same whether the hut stands for a week or four. For a short job, ask for the rent and transport separately so you can see what the week is costing.
Do I need to insure it?
In almost every hire agreement, yes, for the hire period, along with a refundable deposit against damage or loss. Huts on open sites do get stolen, so anchoring it and photographing it on delivery are both worth the twenty minutes.
Site huts are usually hired on the same order as the toilets from the suppliers on Toilet Rental South Africa and delivered on the same truck.
