How can I find a driver ?

Question

My friend's driver's license was revoked, and I haven't gotten mine yet . My friend has to go see a doctor in another town, and I might like to be driven across the state to visit my aunt . It's hard for us to find a friend to drive us, even if we pay for the gas and buy him dinner . We don't know too many people with a car . Anybody who could drive us either works the wrong hours or is too busy . We can't take a taxi, because a taxi would charge hundreds of dollars for a one way trip . I'm not ready to hire a full -- time chauffer, but an unemployed person might be willing to drive us on a long trip if we pay for the gas, buy him dinner, and gave him twenty -- five dollars . If I was going to hire a full -- time chauffer, I'd go to an employment agancy . Why can't I go to an employment agency to hire somebody to drive us on an occasional basis ? How do I find the person I'm looking for ?

Answer 1

first off, gas isn't the only cost involved in driving a vehicle. the IRS allows 48.5 cents per mile if using a personal car for a business. the entire cost of the car, all the tires used, oil & filter changes, regular maintenance, etc... plug gas is all involved. so just offering to pay the gas and buy them dinner, they will be loosing money not to mention their time involved to take you where you want to go.

so with all that said, think of hiring someone to use their car to take you someplace, you should pay them 48.5 cents a mile and $5.85 an hour (minimum wage) and let them buy their own dinner if you want to be really fair...
