Average driver fees?

[WHOA]

I've been considering doing driving. I spend a good coupla hours driving aimlessly whenever I have a day off work, and I figure I might as well make a little money.

So I'm just asking, ladies, what are the average drivers fees that you pay? Would there be any way for me to do this if I could only dedicate 2 nights per week?

What I would really like to do is find 1 or 2 SPs who do a lot of outcalls, so I could work an entire evening for them. I was thinking that a good rate would be $100 for the entire evening, plus like .10¢ kilometer, which would probably come out to like 110-115 for the entire evening including security/standby/phoneboy.

I'm not sure what independent Vancouver companions pay their drivers on average, but I believe that there is a lot of competition for driving positions, and therefore the rates are fairly low.

At the moment, I pay my driver $30 for a 1 hour outcall (I charge $300 for a 1 hour outcall). It ends up being about 1.5-2 hours of work for him (picking me up, driving me there, waiting nearby for me, then driving me home). As you can see, that's only about $15/hr.

As incalls are much, much more in demand, I don't do very many outcalls, and therefore would never have "an evening full of outcalls" - I just don't get that many requests for outcalls (maybe 1 every other day). Also, given that a companion would need to go home and shower and change after each date, it's not that feasible to do an evening of outcalls. I imagine a lady might do 2 or 3 at most in one evening. The inconvenience of all the travel (often for the same price, or only a slightly higher price than incalls) is probably why most ladies prefer to offer incalls.

I have worked at agencies in the past, and the rates paid to agency drivers ranged from $20-45 per hour. Most agencies had more than 1 driver available, so on a slow night, a driver might not get any work at all.

I know my experience can't speak to the industry as a whole, but I hope it was helpful nonetheless.

Best of luck!
