>Just curious as to how many of you charge when you have to travel to the client site. This is if you're charging hourly instead of flat fee.
>Do you charge for the travel time?

>What about travel across country or out of the country?
Most of the work I do is within the city limits, or close by. Travel may take 1/2 - 1 hour. I try to include this in my hourly rate, rather than charge for travel time separately. That is, if the client is farther away, I try to charge a higher hourly rate, or insist on having sessions of a minimum of "x" hours.
The situation would be quite different if I had to visit clients in other cities.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
