Line standing service · New York City, Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Toronto
You can pay a RentAHuman line sitter $20 USD per hour, fees included, to hold your place in New York City, Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Toronto. Book online at least 12 hours ahead and up to 30 days out, for 1 to 12 hours. You pay once through Stripe Checkout, we recruit a worker, and if nobody confirms before your start time the payment is refunded.
No-reservation spots, weekend brunch lines, viral bakery drops and first-come tables. Your line stander holds the place and hands it to you when you arrive.
Store openings, console and phone launches, limited releases and collaboration drops that sell out to whoever shows up first.
In-person sales for concerts, comedy shows, sports and same-day rush or lottery lines, when the venue allows a placeholder in the queue.
Warehouse and designer sample sales, museum and gallery pop-ups, and any first-come event where the line forms hours before the doors open.
Walk-in permit counters, consulates and service offices that let someone hold a spot until you arrive. Some offices require you to be present from the start; check their rules before booking.
Black Friday doors, brand activations, book signings and city events. If the venue permits handing off a place in line, you can book it here.
Choose the city, venue and street address, the local start time and how many hours you need (1 to 12, in half hours). We verify that the address is a real place inside the selected city.
The quote shows one number: hours multiplied by $20 USD per hour, fees included. Nothing is charged until you finish Stripe Checkout, and the pay-by deadline is shown before you continue.
Payment opens a private, hosted Stripe Checkout page. Paying funds recruitment; it is not yet a confirmed worker. Payments completed later than the notice period are refunded instead of creating a last-minute booking.
We recruit from RentAHuman workers in your city and manage acceptance, updates and review. Check the status on this page at any time. If nobody has confirmed by your scheduled start, recruitment stops and the unused payment is refunded to the original card.
Your worker sends you an arrival photo, a description of what they are wearing and their place in the line, then updates you at least hourly. You meet them, take their place, and they confirm the handoff.
One flat rate of $20 USD per hour in every supported city, with platform fees already included. The total you see at checkout is the total you pay.
| Booking | Total (USD) |
|---|---|
| 1 hour | $20 |
| 2 hours | $40 |
| 3.5 hours | $70 |
| 6 hours | $120 |
| 12 hours | $240 |
Get an exact total first. Continuing creates a private Stripe Checkout link; you are charged only when you complete payment there, and your order status is checkable on this page afterwards.
Each order is protected by a private key stored only in this browser and never shown in a link. Status comes from RentAHuman, not from the Stripe return page.
Lost the key? Email [email protected] with your order ID. An email address alone is not proof that an order is yours.
Changes, questions or a lost order key: email [email protected] with your order ID. Prefer the terminal? The same service runs through the open-source rentahuman-line CLI. Building an AI agent that needs someone in a queue? Post your own task through the RentAHuman API and MCP server.
