    dedicated driver hire FAQs

    What's the day rate?

    Depends on van size and hours — priced firm on booking. Full day is significantly cheaper per drop than pay-per-job.

    How many drops can I fit in a day?

    As many as physically fit in the booking window — no per-drop charge on driver hire.

    Can I have 2-man for the day?

    Yes — 2-man day hire available for heavy or awkward loads.
