Expense Limits

To promote the safety of our community, Taskrabbit limits the expenses that can be added to an invoice in the following categories:

• Errands (this includes Shopping & Delivery categories) - $250
• Help Moving, Truck-Assisted Help Moving, Full-Service Help Moving, Heavy Lifting & Loading - $150
• Cleaning - $300
• Personal Assistant/Executive Assistant - $350
  
  

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.
