Recompense for the Driver

We have been asked by several people about what would be the fairest payment to give the driver of a car in which you are having a lift, particularly to an outdoor meeting. This is important when some of the venues are quite a distance.

Please remember that the driver of a car cannot ask for payment from passengers for transporting them as it would negate their car insurance. Therefore it is only fair that the passenger/passengers in that car offer to pay for, at least, the admission fee and tea, to the garden/s visited. If there is more than one passenger, the amount divided between them would be relatively small. Those of you who do not drive may not be aware that to fill up the fuel tank of even a small car costs well over £50.00 nowadays and this does not take into account the road tax and insurance payable annually on a vehicle today.

So please if you are taking what is in effect a return taxi ride, door to door, to one of our meetings, make sure you recompense the driver adequately.
