Hire a runner in Nairobi
From KES 3,000per errand
Some jobs are not one trip. Waiting half a day for a delivery to arrive, sitting through a queue with no predictable end, being at a house for a technician, running six stops in one afternoon — these need a person's time rather than a single pickup.
Hiring a runner books that time. You brief them on what the day involves, they stay in touch as it goes, and you are free to be somewhere else.
What people use it for
- Waiting at a property for a delivery, technician or inspection
- Long queues at banks, offices or service counters
- A run of several stops across Nairobi in one go
- Standing in for you at a collection or handover
- Anything where the time, not the trip, is the work
What is included
- A vetted runner booked for the job rather than a single drop
- A named runner you can request again once you have found one you like
- Chat in the app through the day so you always know where things stand
- An SMS when the job starts and when it is finished

Questions about this errand
Can I ask for the same runner again?
Yes. When you post an errand you can name a preferred runner, and most regular clients settle on one or two they trust.
How many stops can one booking cover?
Multiple stops are part of what you are hiring the time for. Add a multi-stop errand when you post it and describe the round in the instructions.
How are runners vetted?
Runners are onboarded by admin rather than signing themselves up, and every completed errand is rated by the client. Ratings and completed-job counts are visible when you pick a runner.
