Is this what you're dealing with?

How private investigator pricing works.
Most private investigation work is billed by the hour. That covers the time an investigator spends researching, watching and writing your report.
You pay a retainer up front, before work starts. It's a deposit that the hours are taken from. Some simple services have a flat fee instead.
Mileage and expenses, like travel or record fees, are added on top. All of it is written in your quote first, so there are no surprises.

What changes the price?
What changes the price: how many hours the case needs, how many investigators, how far we travel, record or database fees, and how detailed the report is. Surveillance usually costs more than online research because it takes more hours.
