Freedom comes with financial drawbacks - Avis employé Civil Servant Engineius

You can choose whether and when to work

Pay works out at about £4 per hour after deducting non-refunded travel costs, and adding travel time to and from jobs. I did no jobs for six months (working on other more rewarding tasks). My "account manager" phoned me each month to check I was OK etc. Then out the blue comes an email saying "sorry to see you go". No warning that "If you dont do some jobs we will bin you" or "you need to do more jobs or we will bin you", just "tata".

You can pick your own jobs, but be prepared for endless phone calls forcing you to explain why you picked those jobs.

Rude and patronising office staff Toxic “drivers vs office staff” culture Poor communication and lack of professionalism Unrealistic job planning and logistics from planners No support for new drivers Long unpaid travel times and high personal expenses Very low earnings after transport costs Genuine concerns dismissed instead of resolved Drivers treated as disposable rather than valued High staff turnover for obvious reasons
