Be very careful - you would need insurance for carrying paying passengers, and the only legal people to do airport runs and the like are licensed taxi drivers. Without full legal cover you risk being stopped and the vehicle impounded with any passengers and you having to find their own way home.

Thanks, good advice. I will speak to my existing insurers and see what they say.

Just a thought: if you are just wanting to find something useful to do, not trying to earn a bit of money, why not approach the charities in the area? They may be grateful for volunteers with transport and would no doubt know about the necessary legal stuff. Try HelpMarMenor or similar.
