Surveillance of persons, buildings and property is the core business of our detectives in Stuttgart. Below, we provide a transparent overview of the fees charged by Kurtz Detective Agency Stuttgart for surveillance services — with no hidden costs. For research assignments, we sometimes offer flat rates, which are always cheaper than hourly billing. Please contact us for details: +49 711 7153 0028.
Despite employing qualified specialists, Kurtz Detective Agency Stuttgart strives to maintain a fair price level so that the use of private investigators, while unfortunately not affordable for everyone, remains accessible to a broad segment of the population. We voluntarily adhere to the Code of Honour of the Bund Internationaler Detektive (Association of International Detectives) without being a bound member.
Please note: The specific hourly rate applicable to your case can only be provided after discussing all the details relevant to the assignment. In most cases, however, you can expect a rate of €89. Unlike many competitors, we are committed to a transparent pricing model.

In legally relevant cases that are handed over to the judiciary, it is often possible to recover the detective costs from the party responsible for the issue — usually the target person. This once again highlights how important it is to conduct legally compliant and court-admissible investigations. After all, one thing is clear: if you hire an amateur investigator who charges €5 or €10 less per hour, but due to an investigative error you cannot later claim reimbursement of the detective fees in court, you will have gained nothing in the end.
No flat-rate expense billing – Charges are based solely on actual and necessary expenditure.
No postage or telephone charges – These are included in the hourly rate and not billed separately.
No costs for the use of standard detective equipment – This is likewise included in the hourly rate. Only special equipment, such as a disguised surveillance van, will be charged separately if required.
No additional charges for weekend or night work – One fixed hourly rate, seven days a week, around the clock.
Flat-rate offers are available upon request and only where the required workload can be clearly anticipated. For certain commercial assignments, such as the recovery of missing assets, a flat-rate arrangement is, of course, sensible.
Upon conclusion of a contract and payment of a cost-covering deposit, you may, subject to creditworthiness, agree on an interest-free instalment plan for the settlement of the remaining invoice amount — naturally without additional fees.
