Question 1

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

There's nothing to cancel — IdleForMe is pay-per-task. You only pay when a task is completed. No subscription, no commitment, no monthly fee.

Question 2

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

You post a task and see the upfront price before confirming. Your Idler accepts, arrives, and completes the session. Payment is captured only on completion — you never pay upfront.

Question 3

What are the three task types?

Accepted Answer

Wait in Line (your Idler holds your place in any queue), Hold My Spot (your Idler stands in a parking spot until you arrive), and Car Idler (your Idler sits in your car engine-off through alternate-side windows).

Question 4

What is Keys tier?

Accepted Answer

Car Idler tasks that may require moving your car are handled by Keys-tier Idlers — people who have passed a background check and driving-record check.

Question 5

What is the platform fee?

Accepted Answer

IdleForMe takes ~20–25% of each transaction to cover matching, per-session insurance, and platform costs. Idlers keep the rest — plus 100% of any tips.

Question 6

What if something goes wrong?

Accepted Answer

Every active session carries per-session protection. If a task isn't completed to your satisfaction, contact support within 24 hours.
