What is in a VIP trailer
- A flushing pan with running water
- A hand basin and a mirror
- Lighting and ventilation
- Single-door and multi-door versions (executive trailers have separate male and female compartments)
Which of these a given hire company supplies varies, so ask for the list.
What to ask before you book
- Does the trailer need a power point, or does it carry its own?
- Does it arrive with water filled, and how long does that last for your guest numbers?
- Can the vehicle reach the spot? (Gate width, soft ground, slope.)
- Is it a single cubicle or a multi-compartment trailer, and how many pans and basins?
- Are steps supplied, and is there an accessible option?
- Are VAT, delivery, collection, a deposit and cancellation terms in the quote?
- Is an attendant available during the event, and what does that cost?
- How many units for your guests? A common starting point for weddings is 1 toilet for every 35 to 40 guests, and more than one unit for larger weddings. This is a rule of thumb, not a requirement.
What it costs
VIP flushing trailers are advertised from about R550 to R700 a day (Gauteng, November 2026), not quotes. Delivery, distance, an attendant, VAT and extra units can change this.
Common questions
What is the difference between a VIP and a standard toilet?
A VIP trailer usually has a flushing pan, running water, a basin, a mirror and lighting, and is priced per event day. A standard chemical toilet is a single cabin with a holding tank. Ask the hire company exactly what is in the unit you are quoted.
How many VIP units do I need for 100 guests?
A common starting point for weddings is 1 toilet for every 35 to 40 guests, which for 100 guests is about 3 toilets. A multi-compartment trailer counts for more than one. This is a rule of thumb, not a requirement, so ask the hire company what suits your event.
Do I need power and water at the venue?
It depends on the trailer. Some carry their own water and generator; others need a power point or a water top-up. Ask before you book, and tell the hire company where the nearest tap and plug are.
Can I hire for one day?
Many hire companies hire per day, per week and per month, but minimum periods vary. A VIP trailer is usually priced per event day. Ask for the period you need when you request the quote.
