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 Makes a Unit VIP
- A flush. Usually a recirculating or fresh water flush rather than a drop tank.
- A hand basin. Inside the unit, with a water tank, soap and paper towel.
- A light. Battery or solar, which matters the moment a function runs past sunset.
- A better finish. A lined interior, a mirror, a coat hook and a door that latches properly.
- Ventilation. A roof vent and a bigger door seal, which is most of why it smells different.
Single Units or a Trailer
- Single VIP units. Delivered one by one and placed where you want them. Flexible and cheaper.
- Two bay trailers. One tow, two cubicles, a shared vanity. Common at weddings.
- Four bay and larger trailers. A step up again, usually with mains or generator power.
- Attendant service. Someone to restock and clean through the event, quoted per hour.
Where VIP Units Earn Their Price
- Weddings and private functions. The one place guests notice the toilets and remember them.
- Corporate and client facing events. Where the hire sits inside a bigger budget anyway.
- Site offices. A VIP unit for the site office and standard units for the workforce is a common split.
- Long events. A flushing unit with a basin stays usable for far longer than a drop tank.

- Single unit or trailer. A trailer is one delivery and several cubicles, priced accordingly.
- How long you need it. A day, a weekend or a month are three very different rates.
- Distance. VIP units are heavier and slower to place, so transport costs more than on a standard unit.
- Power and water. A unit that can plug in is cheaper than one that needs a generator.
- An attendant. Priced per hour and usually worth it above about 150 guests.
- The season. December and the wedding months are the ones to book early.
- Extras. Flowers, nicer soap, music and a vanity are often itemised separately.
What to Include in Your Request
- The date. And whether it runs into the evening.
- How many guests. The single number that decides how many cubicles you need.
- The venue. Address and whether it is a farm, a private home or a hired venue.
- Power and water on site. Whether there is a plug point and a tap within reach.
- Access. Whether a trailer can be towed in and turned around.
- The look you want. A plain flushing unit and a dressed trailer are different quotes.
Before You Book for an Event
- Ask to see the actual unit. Photographs of a spotless demo unit are not a promise about the one that arrives.
- Confirm the setup time. Delivered the day before is normal and saves a morning of stress.
- Ask about the water supply. Who fills the tank, and what happens if it runs out mid-function.
- Check the lighting. A battery light that lasts four hours does not cover a wedding.
- Ask what cleaning is included. During the event, after it, or neither.
- Book early for December. Good trailers are gone months ahead over the festive season.
VIP Toilet Hire FAQs
How many VIP units do I need for a wedding?
A rough planning figure is one cubicle per 50 guests for a function running four to six hours, and one per 35 once it runs later or the bar is busy. A two bay trailer covers about 100 guests comfortably. Fewer than that and the queue becomes part of the evening.
Is a VIP unit much better than a flushing portable toilet?
In practice yes, and the difference is the basin and the light rather than the flush. A guest who can wash their hands inside the unit and see what they are doing walks out with a completely different impression.
Does a VIP trailer need power?
Most do, for lighting, the water pump and sometimes a geyser. A standard plug point is usually enough. If the venue has no power, add a generator to the quote rather than hoping.
Can VIP units go on grass?
Yes, on firm level ground. After rain a heavy trailer will sink or cut up a lawn, so most venues want it on a hard standing or on boards. Say in the request what the ground is.
What is the difference between VIP and luxury?
Broadly, a VIP unit is a better portable toilet and a luxury unit is a built trailer with ceramic bowls, vanities and sometimes air conditioning. The gap in price is large and so is the gap in finish.
Do I need an attendant?
Above about 150 guests it is the cheapest thing on the quote. Someone restocking paper, wiping surfaces and keeping the bins empty is the difference between a trailer that is pleasant all evening and one that is not.
VIP units sit between the standard and luxury options most suppliers on Toilet Rental South Africa quote for, and are the usual choice for a private function.
