How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Friend?

Prices for platonic company vary by person, activity and length. On Palhour every pal sets their own price, so the market decides.

Our guide price

We suggest $20 an hour as a starting point. Some pals charge more for longer or specialist sessions; some charge less. You always see the exact price, the currency and the length before you book.

What's included

Your booking covers your pal's time for the agreed session. Tickets, travel, food and anything you buy are separate, so agree on extras before you book.

How payment works

• You pay the full price when you book.
• Palhour holds the money until after the session.
• Tap All good to release it, or report a problem within 24 hours.
• If you do nothing, it goes to your pal 24 hours after the session.

Cancellations

Cancel free up to 1 hour before the start. Later than that, half is refunded and half goes to your pal for the time they set aside. If your pal cancels or doesn't show up, you get a full refund. Full details: Payments, refunds and cancellations.
