The round trip is about 285 miles from Lichfield so I would guess that a metered rate for half the miles would be £180 - 200. |

Could the cost be covered by their travel insurance? It is worth checking. |

What was the distance of the original booked journey? Did it start or finish outside your borough? |

The original job was BHX to Thrapston. Wannabee is based in Lichfield. |

Ah! Timbuktoo to BHC (Black hole of Calcutta)!!!! Sorry to be facetious, Grandad, but that means absolutely nothing to me: BHX? Thrapston? Lichfield? "What was the distance of the original booked journey? Did it start or finish outside your borough?" |
