Volunteer drivers play a crucial role in supporting communities across the UK, providing essential transportation services for individuals who might otherwise struggle to access vital appointments, social engagements, or services.
Currently, UK volunteer drivers are reimbursed 45p per mile for the first 10,000 miles they drive in a year, after which the reimbursement rate drops to 25p per mile.
Given the increasing costs of fuel and vehicle maintenance, many argue that the 25p rate is insufficient to cover expenses beyond the initial 10,000 miles.
What do you think about removing the 10,000-mile limit and keeping it at 45p a mile?
