Need a private investigator to find out the truth but unsure how much it’ll set you back? Read on to find out just how much a private investigator will charge for their services.

Private investigators offer a range of services, including:
Surveillance and counter-surveillance
Taking pictures and gathering evidence
Interviewing witnesses and carrying out research
Conducting background checks and running credit reports
Process serving
Performing due diligence and debt recovery
The average cost of a private investigation service in Canada is calculated below, although this could vary depending on a number of factors, including the professional's experience and the complexity of the case.
Average price (per hour) | $110 |
Minimum price (per hour) | $75 |
Maximum price (per hour) | $150 |
The price of a private investigator will vary based on a few factors, including:
Investigator’s level of expertise
The kind of service needed
Additional expenses
Location
Perhaps it's no surprise that hiring the services of a highly experienced private investigator will probably cost more than hiring the services of a rookie in the field. You may also pay more for a private investigator with a background in law enforcement.
The complexity of the service will also impact the price. For example, complicated cases, such as acquiring evidence to use against someone in court, will cost far more than hiring a private investigator to help you reestablish contact with a lost friend.
If additional expenses are required, such as travel fees, expect these to be added to the overall cost.
Like most services, private investigator fees are likely to be greater in large cities such as Toronto, where the cost of living is higher. So remember to bear this in mind if you live in a larger city compared to a rural area.
Whatever the situation, if you’re struggling to uncover the information you need then a private investigator can be an incredibly useful resource. By discretely gathering crucial information and evidence, they can help you to solve a range of sensitive or complex problems.
While it comes at a price, the service of a private investigator is worth its weight in gold when it comes to finding out the truth.
