Going rate for teen snow shovelers?

Depends. Small townhouse driveway and car. $200.00

Although we didn't need it (have 4WDs), we agreed. It took two older teens, 7 hours (including breaks), and they did about 2/3rds of it. What they did, they did really well, so although the agreed upon price was $300, I paid $400. It was backbreaking work.

Your driveway didn’t need it but you went ahead and agreed to pay $300 to teens to do it? And then ended up paying $400? JFC.

Yup. They're low income, and the money could come in handy. I appreciate that these teens are working hard instead of sitting on their phones at home. They most definitely earned their money.

My teens got $75-$100 a house. Once the ice set in, it took 3 of them an hour and a half to do one house. Definitely a fair price.

My son's worked together on a driveway and few stairs. $100 total

That was fair. If she had paid less than $80 I would have compensated them to make it a fair price
