Life is understaffed.

There is exactly one of you, and most days call for slightly more. Rent an Extra is an on-demand platform built on one cheerful belief: there is no small situation in life that could not be improved by an extra pair of hands.

One additional person, for any situation that needs one.

Every booking is a named, scripted, time-boxed situation-unit. Choose the situation, watch the little icon approach on the map, and a warm, composed professional arrives exactly on time, plays exactly the agreed part, and exits on schedule.

The Fan

Be somebody

Approaches your restaurant table mid-date, asks for your autograph, gone in 90 seconds. Research has been done.

The Stand-In

Skip the queue

Holds your place in any queue — restaurant or government office, any weather. Hasn't lost a place since 2019.

The Extra Hands

Stay dry

Walks beside you holding the umbrella when your arms are full. A steady pair of hands, exactly when needed.

The Supporter

Cheer louder

Comes with you to your partner's Sunday-league match or your friend's open mic and cheers the right name at exactly the right moments. Knows the away record.

These are examples, not the menu. The catalogue is open-ended by design — if a situation would be improved by one more person, there is an Extra for that. New situations added constantly.

How it works

1

Choose the understaffed situation

The date, the queue, the rain, the half-empty open mic. If a situation would be improved by one more person, there is an Extra for it.

2

Book an Extra

Book in seconds, like everything else on your phone. Modest per-situation prices. Live tracking until the doorbell — your Extra arrives on time, unreasonably well prepared.

3

Rate your Extra

Every booking ends on schedule. Then you rate, like you always do.

“Very convincing.”

House rules, stated with pride

  • Every booking has a script and an end time. The Fan leaves after 90 seconds.
  • An Extra may hold your place in a queue, never your place in a life. For the moments that matter, Extras join you — they don't replace you.
  • Extras are not for dates or companionship.
  • Extras never deceive anyone to their harm. The fictions are small, harmless, and yours.

There is an Extra for that
