How Much Do Concierge Services Cost? (For Corporate & Mining Companies)

For big corporate and mining leaders who want clear numbers, simple choices, and fast ROI.

Introduction

“If your teams spend a couple of hours each week on errands, you’re already paying for a concierge, just not getting the benefit.” Services that handle life admin can free up focus at work. Providers like workplace concierge programs promise fewer distractions and a better employee experience (workplace services overview). The big question is simple: how much does a concierge cost, and which pricing model fits your needs?

This guide breaks it down in plain language. We’ll cover per‑employee plans, site retainers for remote operations, and executive memberships, plus what drives price and how to get ROI.

The Three Big Pricing Buckets (and When to Use Each)

1) Per‑Employee‑Per‑Month (PEPM) workplace concierge

What it is: Your company pays a monthly fee per employee for a defined service bundle (digital requests, vendor coordination, event support add‑ons, etc.). Many enterprise services use PEPM because it’s easy to budget (PEPM explainer).

What to expect: Entry programs in the market often start around US$20–$35 per employee per month for virtual support and curated vendor access (scope varies by provider; tiered examples are common in corporate services). Finance leaders like this model because “give me one number I can forecast, and we’re in.”

Best for: Headquarters, multi‑site office networks, and business units that want predictable costs and simple rollout.

2) Site retainers for remote operations (mining camps & villages)

What it is: For FIFO and remote sites, “concierge‑like” tasks (transport, errands, resident services, vendor runs) are bundled inside camp management contracts. The cost is typically a site retainer or built into camp OPEX.

What to expect: Pricing depends on headcount, roster, remoteness, and inclusions. Providers offer turnkey camps and village services that cover accommodation, catering, housekeeping, and resident support (ATCO accommodation villages; SPG turnkey camps; TCLH remote hospitality).

Best for: Mining and resources, construction, and energy projects where on‑site life needs full‑service support.

3) Memberships & hourly (for executives, relocations, and surge needs)

What it is: Personal concierge firms sell hourly blocks or monthly memberships. Useful for executive travel, VIP visits, family relocation, and peak periods.

What to expect: US$30–$75+ per hour is common in public rate cards (example rates; another example). High‑end luxury memberships can run five figures annually (e.g., Quintessentially has been reported in the US$8k–$30k+ range, depending on tier and region; see recent coverage like fee updates and lifestyle press summaries).

Card concierge (already included): Premium credit card bundles include a 24/7 concierge at no extra cost beyond the annual fee. For example, Visa Infinite Concierge is included on many cards (official benefit guide; Visa site). Amex Platinum has also expanded perks; in the U.S., the annual fee is US$895 after a 2025 refresh (Reuters report; Business Insider). In Australia, the Amex Platinum fee is A$1,450 (please check with your issuer for the latest information).

What You’ll Actually Pay (Realistic Ranges)

• Corporate/Workplace Concierge (PEPM): Expect a baseline of approximately US$20–$35 PEPM, with higher tiers available for on-site staffing and events. This mirrors broader enterprise service pricing patterns for subscription‑style support (PEPM primer).

• Mining camp / remote village support: Usually site retainers or embedded OPEX. Numbers swing with headcount and remoteness; get a scope‑based quote from camp management providers (ATCO villages; SPG; TCLH).

• Personal concierge (hourly/memberships): US$30–$75+ per hour is a common public range, with discounted blocks or monthly packages (public rate example). Luxury memberships can reach US$10k–$30k+ per year, depending on tier and geography (see lifestyle coverage of Quintessentially pricing and peer services).

• Card concierge: Included with the card; treat the annual fee as your effective cost. Amex Platinum (U.S.) is US$895 post‑refresh; Visa Infinite Concierge is included on many issuer cards (review your Guide to Benefits: example PDF).

Human‑sized check: Labor benchmarks help sanity‑check quotes. Average concierge pay sits around US$17.5/hr (U.S.) and A$26/hr (AU),  provider rates must also cover overhead, after‑hours coverage, and margin (Payscale US; Payscale AU).

“Price only gets scary when the scope is fuzzy. Lock the scope, and your costs calm down.”

What Drives Price Up or Down

• Scope: task types, personal vs. workplace, on‑site vs. virtual.

• Coverage: business hours only vs. 24/7; weekend surge; event seasons.

• Location & logistics: metro vs. remote; travel time; vendor runs.

• Security & compliance: background checks, privacy, data handling.

• Pass‑throughs: tickets, deliveries, third‑party services.

• People costs: wages, training, and management overhead (see wage benchmarks above).

“We mix PEPM for predictability and a site retainer where FIFO life gets messy.”

ROI & Utilization: Make the Numbers Work

A simple way to think about ROI: if a concierge saves 2–3 hours per employee each week, that time goes back to core work (workplace providers position exactly this benefit, see workplace services programs like Circles). But benefits only show up if people use the service.

Here’s the catch: traditional EAP utilization is often less than 10%, which shows how hard adoption can be without a strong launch and comms (round‑up on EAP usage; recent industry posts cite similar figures and how to raise them, e.g., Meditopia and Talkspace).

Activation tips that also work for concierge:

1. Over-communicate at launch: email + posters + manager talking points.

2. Put a face on it: on‑site hours or a monthly “desk” builds trust.

3. Make P0 use cases obvious: travel changes, vendor runs, and family admin.

4. Track 3 metrics: weekly requests per 100 employees, average task time saved, and satisfaction (CSAT).

“If nobody knows it exists, it’s an expense, not a benefit.”

Buyer’s Checklist & RFP Snippets

• Scope & SLAs: hours, response times, TATs, and priority tiers.

• Pass‑through policy: which third‑party costs pass through at cost vs. markup; approval thresholds.

• Security & privacy: background checks, data handling, and ISO/SOC attestation if relevant.

• Remote logistics: roster, vendor runs, outage plans, peak season surge.

• Success metrics: requests per 100 FTE, CSAT, time saved, and adoption rate.

• Exit & portability: data export, knowledge handover, and off‑boarding.

Copy‑paste RFP line:
“Please propose PEPM and site‑retainer options with identical scope. Include pricing for (a) business‑hours only and (b) 24/7 coverage. Itemize pass‑throughs and any staffing multipliers for remote/fly‑in sites.”

Conclusion: So, how much?

• PEPM workplace concierge: ~US$20–$35 per employee per month for a baseline, more with on‑site staffing and events.

• Mining camp/remote: Site retainer or embedded OPEX tied to headcount, roster, remoteness, and inclusions.

• Personal concierge: US$30–$75+ per hour; luxury memberships can run US$10k–$30k+ per year.

• Card concierge: Included with premium cards; the annual fee is your effective cost (e.g., Amex Platinum is US$895 in the U.S. post‑refresh).

Bottom line: Pick a model you can communicate and track. If you drive adoption, the time saved can more than cover the cost.
