Why hiring a portaloo beats owning a portaloo

Hiring a portaloo often beats owning one for several practical reasons. We outline some of these below:

  • Initial investment
  • Transportation and storage
  • On-going maintenance and servicing

Lets elaborate a little on each of these:

  • Initial Investment

    Hiring a portaloo means you don’t have to worry about the initial cost of purchase. Buying a new portaloo can be expensive, especially when you factor in maintenance and cleaning equipment. By hiring, you pay a rental fee that typically includes all these services, making it a more budget-friendly option.

  • Transportation and Storage

    Another advantage of hiring is convenience. When you hire a portaloo, the company takes care of all the logistics, including delivery, setup, and pickup. This saves you time and effort, as you don’t need to deal with transportation or find space to store the unit. Plus, if you only need a portaloo for a short-term event like a wedding or weekend activities, renting is ideal. You get the unit for as long as you need it without the hassle of dealing with long-term ownership.

  • On-going maintenance and servicing

    Maintenance is another key factor. When you own a portaloo, you're responsible for regular cleaning and repairs, which can be time-consuming and costly. Hireage companies handle servicing of the portaloo, ensuring the unit is always in good condition and hygienic. They also manage waste disposal, so you won’t have to worry about it.


Overall, hiring a portaloo provides a hassle-free and cost-effective solution for temporary needs, while ownership involves ongoing responsibilities and expenses.
