Believe it or not, we get asked this question quite a bit. Overall, the cost to rent a portable toilet is quite affordable and justifiable to provide the required sanitation services guests will expect. In some cases, it can also be a legal requirement to provide adequate toilet facilities.
Portable toilet hire is perfect for events, constructions sites or if you're hosting a party and wish for guests to have an extra toilet to use. Prices for portable toilet hire can vary quite a bit, and there are a lot of factors that influence prices.
If you're not sure on how many portable toilets you need to hire, you can use our portable toilet hire calculator to work out how many you need.
The final answer to how much it costs depends on a few variables:
1. Type of toilet required
2. Length of rental
3. Amount of toilets required
4. Amount of services required

All the above will have a direct impact on the cost of hiring a portable toilet.
There will be a difference in price for hiring standard portable toilets compared to hiring disabled toilets.

As part of your portable toilet hire a weekly service is standard for D-tox customers, but if you are not using us, this is something to definitely check, especially if you are hiring portable toilets on a long term basis. Construction sites especially need to ensure this is part of the hire agreement and services provided.
Delivery & Set Up
All our toilets are delivered and collected by D-tox Personnel. The units will be offloaded, sited and positioned for you. If your event is outside of the chosen suppliers standard coverage area there may be an additional charge here. Be sure to also ask about the collection of your portable toilets.
Cleaning & Maintenance
We offer a guaranteed weekly service included in our pricing. However, if the portable toilets you have hired will be subject to excessive use, then we suggest having additional servicing. This will have an additional charge, but will be well worth it to avoid complaints about smells!
Supplies
Toiletries and sanitary supplies may be chargeable so check with your supplier first to find out what is included. Again, if the toilets are subject to high usage these may need to be restocked. This could incur an extra cost depending on the service provider.
Servicing
As mentioned above a weekly service may be included in your portable toilet hire agreement. In some instances, for large events, projects or construction sites you may need this to be more frequent. As such you can expect prices to be slightly more expensive for multiples services.
To get an accurate idea of how much it's going to cost you to hire portable toilets you need to make sure you have a few things figured out first. Before you get a quote from anyone make sure you have the below information to hand.
Our event advisors can help you figure out all the above, and how often you'll need to get your portable toilets serviced. If you don't know the answer to point 4 for example our team can advise you. You can either contact us or simply request a quote and we will get back to you as quickly as we can.
You might find it hard trying to find a company will do this. Most of the time there is a minimum hire duration. In the UK this is normally 2 weeks. The portable toilet can be returned within this period, even after the first night. However, you will still be charged the full amount based on the minimum hire duration.
Again depending on the type of portable toilet you (hot wash, luxury etc) are hiring will influence the cost.
Again similar to the above you may struggle to find a hire company that will provide a quote just for one day. This is where minimum hire duration comes into play, so if you're getting prices from multiple potential vendors be sure to ask this question.
