Shouldn't this be the other way around - the person delivering names the price.

Rough guide for the UK

Say, 30 miles per UK gallon so approximately 2 gallons petrol consumption.

If it's a large car and the journey involves mainly start/stop town driving then the 30 miles per gallon may be very optimistic i.e. it may be closer to 20 miles per gallon..

So the rough guide may be between £8 (8 GBP) and £12 (12 GBP) for the petrol alone.

Depending on the roads and the time of day the journey time would be around 1 to 2 hours.

You could get all scientific about it, or you could simply apply some official mileage rates from company to company. Or on time.

Mine by way of an example pay me just 28p per mile. Some pay 40p per mile.
