It will vary from town to town.

Here in Southport it's around £150 for a day or night car and around £260 for a full time car which will include insurance and repairs and a radio, you've got to find your own diesel.

WHAT :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: £400 a week for a motor?? I'd want a Merc for that price with a guarantee I'd be taking over £1,500 a week.

Is that for a PH or HC 24/7?

If it's a PH then that does seem a lot, if it's a HC then in some areas that's a little under the going rate.
