automorphism group of an étale cover of a curve

The base field is algebraically closed and of chatacteristic zero. If $X$ is a smooth projective curve and $Y\to X$ is an étale covering of $X$ of degree $d$, then what can we say about the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(Y/X)$ of $Y$ over $X$? Is it always nontrivial?
