I just tried to book a session with a pro and she said I would have to pay her Uber fees which to me and back would be over $100 total. I think it’s very unfair for clients to pay such a large travel fee, it’s as if we are being penalized for the pro not having a car. I think in situations like this, we should be given a reasonable compromise. What do you are think can be a reasonable compromise in a situation like this that would be fair to both the client and the pro?
My ideas are:
Split the cost. The pro can pay her share in session time. If she charges $100 an hour and her half of the travel fee is $50, she cuddles for an additional 30 minutes to cover the travel fee.
Book a longer session and throw in an hour for free. If the client pays the travel fees and books a multiple hour session, the pro will add an hour at no cost to make up for the travel fee.
Opinions?
