When Should You Upgrade From Standard to Luxury Toilets?

Our Five Star portable toilets are a dependable choice that are practical, durable, and well-suited to a wide range of events and work sites. But as expectations grow, so too does the need to create a more elevated experience. Whether it’s a black-tie wedding, a VIP zone at a festival, or a community event with high guest turnout, some moments simply call for something a little more refined.

At Instant Toilets & Showers, we help clients across WA match their toilet setup to the needs of their audience. With decades of experience supporting everything from large-scale events to regional deployments, our team is here to guide you on when (and why) upgrading to Six Star might be the smartest move.

What’s the Difference Between Five Star and Six Star Portable Toilets?

All portable toilets serve the same basic purpose, but not every setup delivers the same experience. At Instant Toilets & Showers, we offer both Five Star and and Six Star toilet options, each suited to different event types, guest expectations, and service needs.

Five Star Portable Toilets

Our Five Star portable toilet range is built for reliable, day-to-day use. They’re clean, efficient, and ideal for large-scale or general-purpose hire. Our Five Star range includes popular models like the Five Star Event Chemical Toilet, Mobile Event Toilet, and Five Star Site Toilets. These units are widely used across construction sites, community events, sporting fixtures, and festivals.

Six Star Luxury Portable Toilets

Our Six Star portable toilets range, on the other hand, is designed for high-end functions where presentation, comfort, and detail matter. These include options like our Six Star VIP Ensuite, the Six Star Two-Pan Suites, and the Six Star Platinum Series.

These units are perfect for weddings, VIP areas at major events, corporate activations, or any setting where guests expect a higher standard of amenity.

When Five Star Toilets Might Not Cut It

As we mentioned previously, Five Star portable toilets work well for most situations. However, there are moments where something a little bit more is needed to serve guest expectations, event presentations, or the nature of the venue.

Here are some common scenarios where a Six Star toilet setup can make a measurable difference.

Wedding and Private Functions

For events where the atmosphere is part of the experience, presentation matters. Six Star toilets complement styled marquees, garden venues, and formal dress codes without letting the amenities bring down the tone.

VIP Areas or Corporate Zones at Events

When you’re hosting sponsors, executives, media, or high-profile guests, the quality of your facilities becomes a direct reflection of your brand. Six Star units signal professionalism and attention to detail.

Events With Media Coverage or Photoshoots

If your event is being filmed or photographed (e.g. weddings, launches, PR events), Six Star units blend discreetly into styled environments and avoid the “visual clash” of Five Star blue or grey cubicles.

Remote or High-End Sites With Limited Setup Time

Six Star toilets arrive as complete units, ready to use with minimal external infrastructure. For time-sensitive bump-ins, they offer a quick, polished solution without compromising standards.

What You Get With Our Luxury Six Star Portable Toilets

Our Six Star portable toilet range sets a new standard in comfort, cleanliness, and presentation. These units are designed for high-end events, corporate activations, weddings, and any setting where guest experience matters.

Here’s what’s included across our 2-Pan, 4-Pan, 6-Pan, and VIP Ensuite models.

“Is the Six Star Portable Toilet Really More Expensive?”

On paper, Six Star portable toilets come at a higher hire rate than Five Star units, but that doesn’t always mean a higher overall cost. When you look beyond the daily rate and consider efficiency, guest satisfaction, and event impact, upgrading often delivers better value for money.

  • You may need fewer units
      • Six Star toilets are more spacious, better ventilated, and designed to handle longer individual use. This often means you can install fewer units while still maintaining a high standard of service.
  • Less servicing and less hassle
      • Six Star units use fresh water systems, are odour-controlled, and include full vanities. These features help reduce mid-event maintenance and cleaning needs, especially at multi-day functions.
  • Happier guests = better outcomes
      • When guests are comfortable, the experience improves. For councils, that could mean better community feedback. For weddings, it’s one less thing to worry about. For branded events, it’s a direct reflection of your professionalism.
  • Better for photos, better for PR
      • Six Star units blend discreetly into styled environments, helping you avoid unwanted backdrops in event photos, media coverage, or promotional content.
  • All-in-one setup
    • Our Six Star toilets include everything in one neat unit (lighting, plumbing, vanities, signage, and finishes). That means less gear to hire separately, and faster setup/pack-down.
