How much does it cost to hire someone to run errands?
What affects the price of an errand, what to put in a job so you get fair offers, and how to avoid surprises.
What decides the price
The price of an errand usually follows effort, distance, time of day and whether the helper needs special equipment or skill. A ten-minute pickup nearby is a different job from a heavy delivery across town.
In the Errands app, the details you add to a job are what helpers use to decide whether and how to take it.
How to get a fair price
Describe the job fully: what, where, when, and anything unusual such as stairs or large items. Clear jobs get clear responses.
Pick a realistic time window. Urgent jobs can cost more than ones with flexibility.
