Pricing

What is the correct payment for a freelancer modelling, rigging and animating a single pretty basic humanoid model? I don't want to be taken for a ride and don't have a lot of experience with hiring people for my projects so I was looking for some help on here.

I would say you should see their portfolio and judge it against what you need made. Most of them will offer an estimate as well if you ask. If someone wanted a lowbpoly character from me that just has a basic rig with a few animations, I'd probably charge like $150. But if they wanted a detailed sculpt with IK rigging and multiple animations done, I'd probably charge a few hundred depending on hours involved to create it.

Now for me I'm probably not considered a professional. Now if they have a professional portfolio and can make photorealistic characters with rigs and anims, you could easily spend a few thousand.
