Frequently asked questions about Errand Running

How much does it cost to hire someone to run errands in Manhattan?
Our Manhattan errand running rate is a $50 base price plus mileage. There are no platform booking fees, no surge pricing, and no surprise add-ons — you see the full cost before you confirm. A 1-hour deposit secures your booking and is fully refundable if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance.
Can I book same-day errand running in Manhattan?
Yes. We offer same-day errand running across Manhattan 7 days a week. Pick a time slot on our booking page and we'll dispatch the closest available pro. Most jobs are confirmed within the hour.
What can an errand runner pick up for me?
Anything that fits in a car or van — packages from UPS, FedEx, or USPS depots, retail purchases from IKEA or Home Depot, dry cleaning, pharmacy orders, groceries, documents, keys, and Marketplace purchases. Need something unusual? Just note it when booking.
Do you handle returns and package drop-offs?
Absolutely. Skip the line — we'll drop off returns at the carrier or retailer of your choice and send you confirmation once it's done. This includes Amazon returns, clothing returns, and ship-out items.
How is NYC Pro Tasker different from TaskRabbit?
We charge one flat hourly rate with no platform booking fees, you talk to a real dispatcher instead of an app-only experience, and our pros are vetted and rated by real NYC customers. You also get up-front pricing instead of variable per-Tasker quotes that can swing with demand.
Which Manhattan neighborhoods do you cover?
All of Manhattan — Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown, Chelsea, Gramercy, the Village, SoHo, Tribeca, the Financial District, Harlem, Washington Heights, and everywhere in between. We also cover Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Long Island.
How do I pay for my errand?
A 1-hour deposit secures your booking (fully refundable if you cancel 24+ hours in advance). The balance is billed after the job is complete. Cards are processed securely through Stripe.
Are the errand runners insured and background-checked?
Yes. Every runner is background-checked before they join, and we back every job with our satisfaction guarantee. If something goes wrong, we make it right.

Reviews from NYC Pro Tasker customers

"I had an Uppakra couch from IKEA assembled within an hour and 30 mins. Serhii D was very professional and quick. Saved me a lot of mental and physical load after unpacking other stuff throughout the day. (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/uppakra-sectional-3-seat-johanneshov-brown-beige-s59620338/)"
