looks like its time to either put a complaint in about teh extra cost and your dislike of paying upfront or find a new firm that dosnt assume your going to run and not pay
When I lived in Hassy we went to a do at the Corporation arms in Burnley, we had got to the final of a national pool completion at Hammersmith Pally and were spending the cash, four of use went in one car and we were getting a taxi home after, around 2am a Pakistani gentleman came round to pick us up, we never asked him the price but when we got back to Hassy he wanted to charge us £20 (this was over30 years ago) we got him down to £15 and as he dropped me of on Blackburn Road, he asked me the quickest way back to Burnley, I said sure mate, up to the lights turn left follow the road will take you straight back to Burnley, off he went turned left, even though there was a sign saying Blackburn
