Work schedule:
Drivers can work part time or full time. For the full time drivers, there is a 12 hours day shift and a 12 hours night shift. You could earn about £1000 if you work 5 days a week/12 hours a day. From this amount you have to pay us the commission of 23%. At the moment we have two shifts: day shift (from 04:00-05:00 till 16:00-17:00) and night shift (from 16:00-17:00 till 04:00-05:00). You might be asked to do some additional hours when more jobs are available. In that case you will receive a phone call from the office. As a result, your hours and pay will depend on the amount of jobs you do on that week.
Time off:
As you know, or will find out, the work load drops off during the week so we do not have enough work to keep you all happy. The director would appreciate it if you would take your time off during the week and not in the weekend.That way you will have the work and we will not be short of staff to carry out our daily business. Your attendance is important to the business and is monitored. This policy identifies points at which the company will take action if your sickness absence reaches unacceptable levels.

An appropriate driver attire lets the customer know that we take our job seriously (actual client feedback) and that we can provide a high standard transfer service.
We regularly ask clients to provide feedback for our drivers and sometimes they agree to take pictures, so please don’t feel bad if some clients take your picture. The full time driver that will have the most positive feedback in a month will be named Driver of the Month and will be entitled for a £100 bonus.
If a driver wants to finish the collaboration with us he will need to give us a notice 7 days prior.
We offer meet and greet service to our customers. For this service we charge £5 and the customers will have 30 minutes free waiting time. Also, the parking it’s included in the £5.
At the pick-ups from the airport, in case the client does not show up, you have to wait inside at least an hour after the client’s selected time after landing. If you do not wait one hour inside we will not pay you the job or the parking.
For instance: the client selects 40 minutes after landing. The plane landed at 13:00, 40 minutes after landing is 13:40. From this moment on the driver has to wait for another hour, so up until 14:40.
If the client still does not show up until 14:40 the driver can leave the terminal, but not before he notifies the controller.
NO PICK UP SITUATIONS
If you have a no pick up and the job is prepaid in advance, you must e-mail us the parking ticket or the evidence how you have been there (photos or a hotel stamp) in order to be paid for that certain job. If the job is cash then we will pay you only the cost of your parking.
