OP, £6 for fuel, £4 for W&T, call it a tenner. Anything more is taking the pee. For £30 your 'friend' may as well use a mini cab.

You can get minicabs under £1 a mile? Cheapest round here are close to £2 a mile. The do airport discounts but still not far off £2 a mile.

To cover my costs (not just fuel) I'd ask for about 25p per mile.

I'd consider it cheeky to ask a friend or aquaintance to pick me up at 3am! If they were good enough to do it, I'd certainly offer to cover their expenses.

Have to agree - made it clear to my son that I was not getting involved in any transport to the airport at 3am in the morning for his recent holiday. If they can afford to go on holiday with three mates - can afford a taxi. Absolute killer if you then have to go on and work a normal working day - experienced that whilst he was doing a WW1 battlefields trip back in the day and need to be at the school for 3am!.

Don’t bother. Easier for them to get a taxi.
You’re going to have to keep an eye on arrivals, without any delays probably need to leave at 2:30am pay to park up and wait, for them to go through luggage collection and customs then if they’re delayed!
They decided that return flight time recommend a taxi.
