First year on DriveGet I did £41k on Category C1. Best decision I made post-Brexit.

The favourite system means I've got 4 regular clients. Feels like I run my own business.

Accountancy & pension

Discounted rates with our partner Coconut for self-employed drivers.

Do I need my own vehicle?+

No — you can accept 'driver only' jobs where the customer supplies the vehicle. Or bring your own and take the vehicle-included rate premium.

What's the 15% platform fee for?+

Insurance, DVLA re-checks, escrow safeguarding, dispute mediation, and platform tech. You keep 85% of every driver-rate line.

Can I set different rates for different jobs?+

Yes — set a base hourly rate, plus overtime multiplier and weekend/night uplifts. Rates preview to customers before they book.

Is there a minimum number of jobs I have to accept?+

No minimums. Availability is entirely yours — go active for a week, then take a month off, no penalties.

Your calendar. Your rates. Your terms.
