How Shift Cover Is Structured

Shift cover is priced on a reviewed request basis rather than publishing a fixed public rate card. The final figure depends on the vehicle required, expected mileage, expected hours, timing, urgency and the overall commercial fit of the work.

This allows us to review each request properly without displaying a public pricing breakdown. It also helps us price repeat commercial support, out-of-hours work and higher-mileage cover more accurately.

Half-day structure Typically built around up to 4 hours and up to 100 miles, with driver and vehicle included.
Full-day structure Typically built around up to 8 hours and up to 200 miles, with driver and vehicle included.
Quote review factors Vehicle size, mileage, expected hours, urgency, start time, day of week and operational requirements.

Out-of-hours and weekend cover

Cover outside standard working hours or over weekends is still available, but each request is reviewed individually rather than shown as a fixed public uplift structure.

  • Evening and late-night support available
  • Saturday and Sunday cover available
  • Short-notice requests can be reviewed
  • Commercial fit and availability considered

  • Repeat support available on request
