Function Hire – FAQ

Most of us have experienced a heightened appreciation for fresh air, sunshine, the freedom to see our friends and family, and the chance to once again dance, laugh, and sing in a crowd of people without worry.
At Aim Hire, we absolutely loved seeing the event and function side of our business reignite at the beginning of the year with birthday parties, live music, and weddings all coming back. It was a long year for all of our customers in this field in 2020 and we’re thankful that they’re able to reopen again.
Our operations consultants have been constantly busy with customers, new and old, and are always happy to answer any questions you may have when ordering function toilets – whether it be for the first time or for the fiftieth. But, I understand at times it’s nice to call with prior knowledge already in your mind so you know exactly what you need to ask for.

To help those who like to call prepared, please see below our most asked function toilet questions and answers.

Q: How many toilets do I need?

A: For functions and events you may require anywhere from 1 to 100 toilets depending on the event itself. As a general rule, we recommend 1 toilet per 100 people. Many customers prefer to have two toilets so they can allocate one as ‘male’ and one ‘female’.  We do always recommend discussing your specific needs with our consultants over the phone.

Q: When do you deliver?

A: For the most part, we deliver weekdays between 7 am and 5 pm, however, we do schedule some deliveries for weekends. For functions and events, we can also drop off on Thursday or Friday and collect on Monday. This can be adjusted to suit your needs, so please mention the dates of your event so the Operations consultant can take this into consideration.

Q: How do you deliver?

A: We deliver all our hire items on large crane trucks, which means access must be sufficient for a large crane truck to enter a property and safely exit again, or a crane can be used to place the toilet on the front of the property. If this doesn’t sound like it would work for your house, you may be able to hire a trailer-mounted toilet instead, including our luxury restroom trailer which is perfect for weddings and corporate events.

Q: Do the toilets come with toilet paper?

A: Yes, the toilets each come with one roll of toilet paper. If you are having a large event or an event where people are consuming lots of food and/or alcohol, we recommend having a few rolls handy in case it runs out.

Q: What is the luxury restroom trailer, and what is the price?

A: Our luxury restroom trailer is the answer to all your fancy toilet hire dreams. This option is trailer mounted so it can suit almost all sites/addresses. The luxury restroom trailer consists of two separate toilet rooms appointed with wooden flooring, porcelain toilets, and basins and a mirror and cabinet each. Pricing for this unit, as with all our function toilets, is dependant on time required and location.

Q: Where can you deliver function toilets?

A: Our function toilets can be delivered throughout Metro Melbourne and Geelong, and close surrounds. If you’re outside of this area, a trailer-mounted toilet may be a good option as you can collect this from one of our branches and tow it to wherever your function may be.

Q: What if the waste tank gets too full during the event?

A: The waste tanks in our function toilets are currently the largest in the industry. They take up to 650 uses which means it is unlikely that they will need to be pumped/serviced in a single-day event. However, if you are holding a weekend or week-long event then we can arrange a scheduled pump and clean (or services) to take place.

Q: How much notice do I need to give to hire a toilet?

A: We recommend calling at least one week in advance to secure your function toilet for your event, however any additional notice on top of this will set you up for success. For specialty products such as the luxury restroom trailer, we recommend booking this as far in advance as possible as many people who want this item often book a number of months in advance.

We look forward to being a small (but important) part of your next event!
