The first thing he did was get contracts from dealerships that suited him and them money wise, he also took a test so that he could tow a second car on a trailer. As far as what he charged per mile goes i don't know, not really my place to ask, but he made a good living from it all. He only packed in because a job as a manager elswhere came up in a different field. |

Typical rate is £1 per mile.
The established companies are able to combine jobs so that they have another car for the return trip

It cost me £200-00 to get the TT from Newcastle to Blackpool if that helps, that guy had another car on board too which was going to Bolton, he said it was great money for a mornings work.
Hope that helps a bit |

To start off it will be hard,until I get known and get return jobs.
