You will find out if it's too high if the phone stops ringing.

And too low if the bugger doesn't stop.

At those prices it could be said you undercharge most nights.

We operate at £2.80 flag and £2.20 a mile.

You must have to carry a hell of a lot of change, with all those odd pence at the ends, round them up or down for even money

TBH it seems a bit on the cheap side. I charge around £1 a mile including dead mileage to the pick up and from the drop off back to home. On things like runs from my place to Ashford Station, the rate is down a bit, 14 miles each way, fare £25, but then there's other mugs who do the same run for £18 then wonder why they can't make money...

I did a job from next door - 8 miles each way - £25 return, but i was shopping in the same Morrisons they went to so it saved me a trip...lol
