  1. The average rating is based on the rated reviews only.
  2. The total number of reviews shown in brackets consists of unrated and rated reviews.

  2. Drivers can offer advice but must not self-promote in the "General Questions" and "Itinerary Advice" forums.
  3. Drivers are limited to one post per day in the "Driver Offers" forum and must not include any contact details such as email addresses or telephone numbers.
  4. Repeated failure to respect the rules will result in a ban from the forums.
