How can I claim expenses?
If expenses have been agreed at the time of booking, you will be able to login to your account and claim expenses in the claims section. You will need to upload a mileage claim or a receipt for what you are claiming.

If you are claiming mileage, you will need to do a screen shot of the route using Google maps and upload the image with the start postcode, end postcode and total mileage clearly showing. The total mileage should equal the mileage agreed with your booker.

Please check the agreed expenses before booking on to a job.
