In an effort to promote the safety of our community, Taskrabbit is limiting the expenses that can be added to an invoice in the following categories:
- Errands - $250
- Cleaning - $100
- Personal Assistant - $350
- Mounting - $100
- Furniture Assembly - $100
How expense limits work: When you submit your invoice, you won’t be able to add expenses beyond the above-listed amount in the app, and won’t be able to recoup costs over those limits from Taskrabbit.
Taskers are still required to obtain pre-authorization from Taskrabbit for purchases over $300, especially in categories where no expense limits are in place or when the expense limit is more than $300.
You can set yourself up for success with expense limits by:
- Scoping any anticipated expenses with your Client thoroughly:
-
- Ask if your Client needs you to purchase anything before the task.
- Ask your Client to pre-pay for any on-task purchases (i.e. Purchasing the items online for the Tasker to pick up).
- Plan ahead for unanticipated task expenses. (i.e. Making sure your client knows to be available during your task to make purchases.)

- Making your hourly rates cost-inclusive to account for any recurring task expenses like gas, vehicle maintenance, and personal protective equipment.

- Document receipts and have written confirmation of any expensed items in the chat thread.
Pre-authorization charges will still be available upon request.
