Festival season 2027: when you should book

If you are celebrating in June, you should call in January. Not because cabins are scarce, but because fixed dates, accessible units and vehicles on the weekends from May to September are the first to go.

What gets scarce

Not the cabins, the dates

More than 1,000 units in stock are enough for the season. Seven vehicles on a Saturday in July are not always.

On summer weekends, town festivals, sports events, festivals and private parties coincide. What goes first: fixed delivery and collection times, accessible cabins and service slots during events lasting several days. If you enquire early, you get the time windows that fit your set-up plan. If you enquire late, you get the cabins but not always the date you wanted.

Lead time

When you should get in touch

The larger the event and the more fixed the date, the earlier.

  • Festivals and major events from 5,000 guests: January to February, with a site plan and set-up times.
  • Town festivals, sports events, club festivals: eight to twelve weeks before the date.
  • Weddings and company parties: four to six weeks, earlier for dates in June and September.
  • Private parties with one or two cabins: two weeks are usually enough, longer on public holiday weekends.

Several dates

Plan once, then call off

Organisers with several dates a year work with a framework agreement.

Same set-up, same quantities, same contacts: a framework agreement sets that once, after which a call-off with date and place is enough. How that works is explained in the article “Framework agreement for portable toilets”.

What we need for the enquiry

Date and duration, expected peak visitor numbers, drinks sales yes or no, the site with its access and whether it is a public event. With this information you receive a binding quote. A first estimate comes from the requirements calculator, and you place the enquiry in three minutes via Rent.

What does a fixed delivery date cost?

Fixed delivery and collection times are agreed in advance, which can involve additional costs. The amount is stated in the quote.

Can I still change quantities later?
