What about travel I have a request that’s about 3 hrs each way how is that usually handled if I’m willing to travel?
I charge a nonrefundable travel fee that is due before I leave to head their way. That way, even if the session falls though, you still have your gas money.
@Rai_C very good idea I was always wondering what to do about travel and whether to ask up front or not x
As a general rule, unless they’re very nearby (30 minutes or less) I include a gas $ card along with my pro’s compensation—enough to cover gas for both ways + some extra for travel time. I don’t think you can count on everyone doing this, though. Getting travel expenses covered in advance is a sound practice, even though some clients may balk at the idea. You can consider their attitude as part of your screening process! 😂
