What’s Included
Delivery and pickup at the start and end of your hire period

A regular servicing schedule for longer hires (weekly is standard on most construction sites)
Damage and cleaning terms set by the supplier at time of quote

Portaloo Hire Pricing in Palmerston North
Across New Zealand suppliers, standard non-flushing portaloos typically run $40–$70 a week for longer construction hires, while flushing or event units cost more — often $150–$280 for a short-term hire like a weekend event, since short hires carry the same delivery and servicing cost as a longer one. These are typical market rates, not a quote — exact pricing depends on your supplier, hire duration, and how many units you need on site. With flat, easy-access sites the norm across Palmerston North, pricing here tends to track hire duration and unit count more directly than delivery difficulty — unlike hillier centres where access can add a premium. See the table above for indicative pricing specific to Palmerston North.
