payments to friend for fuel to go to hospital etc

[Ladylinnet]

Does anyone have someone drive them to hospital appointments etc & you then pay toward the fuel they use? Just wondering as I have a friend who takes me & my child & I give her £20.00 but she expects this each time. My little one needs numerous hospital visits during week. Is this reasonable? If I were to pay 50p per mile it would work out £10.00 each journey.

Its a big ask to be doing this multiple times a week and honestly I would be wanting more than £20 for doing it. Especially if she's hanging around waiting for you. It's a big chunk of the week.

Work out how much of her time it takes and block it out of your week, every week. You aren't allowed to do anything you need to do during that time and it comes out of your days off, not work hours if you work. How much would you want for doing that every week?

Did the OP ever come back and answer any questions?

I'm sorry to tell you this but you seem to expect her to do this for you and subsidise the cost
If you feel that way try getting taxis and you will realise how generous she actually is
