On average, the cost of a routine service can range anywhere from $35 – $100. Prices can be lower in some states and higher in others. As the serve becomes more difficult or costly for the process server, you can expect to pay more. You may incur additional mileage fees or skip tracing fees if you need the person located. Additionally, if you have a rush serve or you need papers served the next day or on a holiday you can expect to pay more.
When getting a price quote from a process server you will want to ask a couple questions… “What is your turn-around time? (How quickly can you get this done?)” and “How many attempts do I get at the quoted price?”.
