I wouldn't, you're taking less than a £ a mile, don't forget you've got to get to the pick up.

I think it is three quarters of a mile not 3 to 4 miles. :wink:

best jobs ever... short distance to get a pick up, waiting time, short return... most expensive miles... I would do jobs like that all the time....

There will be drivers out there though who would do that job for that price if it was a 6-8 mile round trip.
