I thought you were looking for a stop gap solution to make this job viable not a cost effective solution

Mate a 125cc will cost you £10 6 round journeys, even with gunning it about. Blimey get a 50CC and you dont even need a CBT course.

I bought a 2nd hand suzuki for £325 and it was £98 to insure for a year. £10 or £15 yearly tax.

If you cant afford that then dont even think about getting a car.

15 miles is not far to cycle, especially as the warmer weather is coming.

I was also under the impression the OP needed a solution/stop gap until he had been paid a couple of times to then maybefind something more cost effective say.

Maybe ive mis understood the OP.

Many of us in the past have had bikes or mopeds for work. When I was 17, I used a Honda 50 to go to work for two years. Before me, my dad went to work on a bike for about 30 years before he bought a scooter and then a car.

Get a moped/scooter for the coming summer months. I may even see you when I'm on my bike riding from a caravan site for a meal at a pub.

A push bike would be cheap and 15 miles is very doable depending on your shifts. It should take less than a hour.

Are you a caravanner poppasmurf, so am I

My 'van is so old PayPlan told me not to bother selling it:cool:

The bike idea would work OP, the only loan you would get otherwise would be extortionate or need a guarantor. You are probably more credit worthy than me though and I earn £30K
