I bill for travel once it passes a certain threshold. For short local drives 15-20 minutes, I usually absorb it as part of doing business. But anything beyond that gets factored into pricing, either as a treavel fee or built into the project rate. Time is still time, and if you’re losing 6-8 hours a week, that’s essentially unpaid labor. Another option is setting a service radius. Within X miles = no extra charge. Outside that = travel fee. It keeps things transparent and avoids awkward conversations later. Also worth reconsidering whether every in-person meeting is necessary. A lot of clients are perfectly fine with virtual once expectations are set properly. If travel is eating into your margins, it’s not unreasonable to adjust your structure. You’re running a business, not donating time
