£300 for Vehicle and Driver Plus £35.00 for the Escorts wages, So £335.00 per 400 Mile trip.

Though some clown will do probably do it for £149.99 per journey Including some Doylem of a lackie as an Escort. :roll:

You already know that you are wrong on the highest bid because I have already stated in my PM to you that my bid was £350. :mrgreen: (This is a job from my area.)

I bid on one, 45 miles each way but coming out at 1pm, it would barely be worth tramming home for 2 hours so i bid as a wait and return £88

i got beat...... but i can bet the ones doing it wont sit at the school for 3 hours

Some tw4t will bid under £100 per trip. Missus as unpaid escort + fuel and a fiver an hour. Reckon about £95 per trip will be the lowest bid.

I'd want £200 + escort's wages per trip, so I guess it won't be me :D

is the escort paid WHILE an escort (4 hours in this case, per trip) or foe the whole journey when they are doing nothing....

I'd say the escort would have the right to expect payment for all the time they are in the vehicle be it with or without passenger. you wouldn't get a Local authority staff member sitting in a council vehicle and only getting paid for half of it.

I couldnt agree more and in todays "PC" world youd have thought county would have an obligation to check the escort gets the NMW
