She has a part-time job, looking after two adults for 2-3 hrs twice a week. She gets paid by the hour, at the start and end for her time with these two people she collects and returns them to and from their home. The two people in question do not pay her, but the person responsible for them 24/7 pays her. She wants to know if she requires any extra car cover such as business commuting. Other than that her normal cover includes social domestic, going to her place of work is all she would normally need. Occasionally she will take them out to a cafe or the shops. Can you assist.?
