Yes, I agree, £100 for all the travelling and hassle, it's taking the piss royally.

Like some others replying, it's not easy. I did about 12 years operating out of an old airfield near Bicester - massive set up, delivering and collecting demo cars as well as some new lease cars. Covered the whole UK including Northern Ireland; several trips to Inverness and back in the same day. You have to be self motivated, independant and have a sense of humour - rocking up for a collection in the middle of nowhere to find no car, it's an abort, find your way home, you have to larf. Not so bad in the early days, averaging 3-400 miles a day and 10-12 hr days, but gradually ended up more like 12-14 hr days. Enjoyed it in a funny sort of way, the sense of satisfaction planning your day, but not easy by any stretch.

Lane discipline of a legend!

A guy turned up to pick my car up on a foldable electric bike. He came down to Herts on a train from Newcastle and rode the bike from the station. I live in a village with bad transport links so he had the ideal method of travelling around. I'd certainly consider this option if you are going to carry on.

Great vid as I do the exact same job. Semi retired and gets me out of the house. Best job I’ve ever had, the flexibility and enjoy driving different cars and meeting different people. I calculate each job and so long it’s above £10 per hour door to door then it’s worth it. However I try to avoid long journeys (100 plus miles) and electric cars I thought about making videos and reviewing the cars I drive, but the negative comments just puts me off

Some years ago, I, too, thought of earning some 'easy money' shunting cars for a well known auction company.... you know the one....Big Con Artists. I was duly invited to their 'induction' where I quickly learned that this 'employment' was the nearest thing to modern day slavery. I politely left before the end (along with a number of other naeve-a-tees) & was so incensed, I wrote directly to their massively remunerated CEO of the day pointing out the obscene disparity between the 'worker drone' payments & her eye-watering salary.

I looked into doing this (or similar) and ended up not doing a single job. The driver agency made me jump through ridiculous hoops to qualify to do it and then took the piss massively as I was clearly being used as a last resort, are rather not being used. Waited nearly a week to hear from them then get a call out of the blue asking me to me to be 30 miles away at 8am the next morning where I would meet an inspector and a team of drivers that drive the inspected car to wherever. That's 60 mile round trip and could only be practically done by car at my own expense. Then I get a call at 7am the following morning saying the job was cancelled. A full week later I get a call at 8am out of the blue asking me to be 44 miles away in one hour, so an 88 mile round trip and again had to be at my expense by own car. That's taking the piss but I dropped all the days plans and got in the car. 15 minutes later and ten miles down the road they call again and cancel again. I asked them to take me off their books and delete my data. Final piss take? I started getting dodgy messages asking me if I was still looking for work as they had excellent opportunities for me, they were scams. The agency had clearly leaked my personal and private data.

Well done, Rob. The video is interesting, and it's well produced. Best of luck with your training course.

I was a trade plater for just under 20 years. These really are not the best terms in the industry that you are working on. I've never worked for a company where you pay an excess for damage or pay penalties for being late and I've worked for some really bad trade plate companies! Rate of pay is also not the best, it'll really hurt you financially when something goes wrong and things do go wrong. One tip, if you travel to the South East area of England, get a Network Rail card. It's a third of the price of rail travel (certain conditions apply). I used to make the cost of the card back in 2 or 3 trips and it can go as far as Exeter on one line.

What a nice guy. Great video ty.

Interesting process, luckily you are frugal with the walking & packed lunch as stomping on the motorway services for a coffee & slice of cake would wipe out the profit these days!

Thanks! 👍

Thanks for sharing. Dealerships/auction sites/resellers are all looking for the most cost effective way of collecting and returning vehicles. Hiring teams of drivers eats into their already slender margins….esp. during off-peak periods where the volume of vehicles to move is so low they have drivers sitting around twiddling their thumbs. This is where you come in! You assume all the risk and they get away with paying you less than minimum wage - because they can argue you’re ’not working’ whilst making your own way home. The old model had a pick up driver who would collect 3-4 drivers once they’d completed their drops - take them back to base before doing the same again. Wasn’t uncommon to do several drops in a day. Minimal expenses as a result. Having to pay to get home - like in this vid - is a big issue. You can easily get stuck somewhere if public transport lets you down. Not to mention the price. This job is a good laugh but only if things don’t go wrong. It’s more suited to the semi-retired and those doing it for beer money and something to fill the day. As long as you make it work for you - that’s what matters. Just need a bit of good fortune too! Good luck!!

I used to pick up cars a garage bought. It was quite stressful and some garages were real crooks and generally rude. The money was peanuts but got me out the house with all tickets pre bought and a comprehensive route map supplied. Downside was driving on motorways at night in the pouring rain!

I used to do this in the 1980s delivering and collecting lease cars for a company called Bowyers in London. A lot of the drivers were out of work actors. I used to use the trade plates for lifts or bunk the train and could make around £70 a day back then. Not sure its progressed money wise much since then.

By the time you've taken out your tax and national insurance, lunch and bus fare it's hardly worth bothering but gets you out the house for the day, I'd you had a return trip paying the same or more then worth doing.

Thank you for sharing. The £100 seems a bit stingy to be honest especially as you have to fund your own way home. If the train was the only option it would quickly negate your days earnings. Can’t believe they don’t even offer reasonable travel expenses.

Dont look easy, but dont look hard. Id hate the public transport aspect of it but love the driving aspect.

I did this a few years ago, only had to use public transport twice as I always had a lift back from another driver, a part ex or a hire car waiting at the customers house. Decent job at the time, could make quite a bit at it but zero hours no job security.

I know it's a long day, but it's £90 in your pocket that you wouldn't have sat at home watching TV. Obviously, if you do it above board, you get taxed on that, but it can pay for your groceries for a week.

what was the platform called you use for the car delivery? also what job are you training for now?

Interesting content mate,are you signed with more then one company or is there a clause with any your not allowed to

Yes, I gave a basic visual inspection and test drive as part of the appraisal. If anything were not roadworthy, I would report it and the job would be canceled, with full pay to myself.

I went to a training day for the same job with another company but I didn't get beyond the first day. They wanted me to do a lot of checks before driving away with the vehicle, too much time being wasted for me.

Out of interest, are you paid directly by Car Giant via PAYE in to your bank account, via Umbrella company, or do you have the option to invoice them directly from a limited company? The 3rd option would give you the most flexability and control over how you are taxed in terms of income tax and NI, thus saving you some cash.

the car is not taxed from the moment they are paid. you need trade plates

I was trade plating for nearly 20 years.There are a few smaller companies dotted about that you can work for as self employed but will factor in train/bus fares & taxis as well as estimating how many hours you will be out of the house & paying at a set rate per hour. Admittedly these are few in numbers but they do exist. The likes of BCA & these new companies that do everything off an app will not pay good money for the hours you put in.

Do you get your expenses back for travel back home on public transport?

I worked at BCA logistics for less than 2 months and I was gone quicker than any other job in my life. I was in the office and it was the most draining job in my life, not only that the customers, drivers and driver operations department were also severely unhappy. Looking at how you've only made £7.50 an hour average just shows the problems that arise from this kind of work.

What are you training for? Would imagine it be hard to do any learning after a long days driving and walking. Hope it all works out.

What website did you use for the jobs

Nice vid any chance visiting a tourist attraction on you’re next tour delivery

a lot of grief for £90 imo

Interesting job, and probably quite fun - but what a shocking rate of pay. It feels like they've just priced it from time arriving with the customer to the dropoff point.

How do you get into a job like this ? , where do you apply ?

Getting back from London is fine but what if it was King's Lynn? Which also begs the question, are you allocated jobs or pick from a menu like Deliveroo dudes? And what is the platform?

So a stone hits your windscreen and that’s £500 😮 as the Dragons Den investors would say ‘I’m out’ but like you say it’s better than staying in all day I guess and it’s your choice and think of your step count that day 😅

So, theoretically you could have got the train for £90 to get home plus food and get £100,sounds a bit of a gamble as to whether you get any pay at all.
