Charging out for apprentices

[dan86]

this is the thread I was on about, although there's quite a few!

Lowest quotes- £630 (myself) or £2350 with the apprentice as an additional driver, although he passed his test two years ago! Bit of a difference!

I got a quote on c1 for 900-1200 a year so not too bad

That quote was if i owned car and only person on insurance (im 20 as well)

The 2350 was with apprentice as named driver. Two year old 2.2 litre T260 transit van / sign written / roof rack / 15,000 miles a year, protected NCB / legal assistance / courtesy van. If I put his date of birth in as 21 years old it went down to around £1100! Take him off all together & its a nice sensible £630!

If there were around 250 working days in the year, at £2350 thats nearly a tenner a day overhead just for van insurance alone. That isn't affordable when you have to factor in other insurances, road tax, diesel, scheme membership and so on :/

Insurance is a joke! I've been paying my own fully comp insurance for 7 years and not one accident!

That reminds me of an old couple who refused to have smokes on their house rewire. "We've lived here for 50 year and we've never had one fire". . . sorry old timer you're missing the point

Hi.we work out of London. I have two apprentices, I pay them £60 and £90 and charge them out at £ 120 and £180 respectively.
Although a four bed rewire would be at least 5 grand.
Try not to itemise your invoces. Just have one labour charge and include your and you staff.
Good luck

In regards to the van insurance, if the apprentice in question is only driving to and from site with his basic tools and light materials have you thought about paying him mileage? And him using his own car... Clearly this only works if he has his own car :cheesy:
