- Q: What do you charge?
A: What we charge depends on which of our services you wish to use. You can see a complete list of our services and prices at our Prices page.

In person helps will be the price of the service plus the cost of gas (seniors get a 10% discount except for the cost of gas).
- Note 2: For safety reasons, in person helps will either have two of us come to your place or have one of us meet you at a public place (depending on the service you ask for). We recommmend you do the same with any business service. You do not pay for this person. We pay them out of our own pockets so you only pay for our service.
