Any experience of traveling with providers to share?

[Dingdi]

I’m considering to invite a provider to join my two-day business trip. The destination is only 1.5 hours away by air. The schedule is not very full. Just to visit an exhibition and a couple of meetings with business partners. So I may have almost half of each day to stay with him. 
Anyone had experience to travel with providers/clients?

And what is a reasonable price for that? An overnight session is counted as 12 hours. Should I expect to double the overnight price as daily price?
Or should be more considering it’s out of town?

Or should be less because I afford all his travel cost and he also benefits from free travel as long as the destination is attractive?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!!!

Anyone had experience to travel with providers/clients?

Yes, I have. You will probably get some variation in responses on this... but some believe you should have met with the provider beforehand for compatibility (temperament-wise and sexually). Also that you should aim for someone who is well reviewed here and other venues (i.e. Rentmen). Personally, I don't necessarily follow this train of thought, but that's another discussion (Search this site for overnight topics).

Of the guys I have travelled with, I have at least seen them for some extended period beforehand. I've gotten to know them well enough that I think traveling some place with them wouldn't be an issue. I want the trip to be something we're both interested in. I wouldn't want to go somewhere then realize we can't stand each other or are bored witless. If we seem to enjoy each other, not just in the bedroom, I'll feel at ease going anywhere with the provider. Also consider that some guys require alone time (for personal business, working out, etc.) for part of the day and some don't.

The provider I've seen most, he and I go almost yearly on an 8 day trip. Because we are extremely compatible (enjoy a lot of the same things in and outside the bedroom) he asks for a relatively low rate for the entire time. He'll even buy his own food sometimes and other things to keep overall costs lower on my end. Discuss with the provider your thoughts on what you have planned. Just because you like something like opera, doesn't mean the provider will enjoy it. You may be paying the guy for his time, but if he doesn't think he'll enjoy himself... he just might not go.

And what is a reasonable price for that? An overnight session is counted as 12 hours. Should I expect to double the overnight price as daily price? Or should be more considering it’s out of town? Or should be less because I afford all his travel cost and he also benefits from free travel as long as the destination is attractive?

This is where communication with the provider is necessary. You need to discuss his rate and what are the expectations with the trip. Each provider prices their time as they see fit. There are some guys who charge a huge rate for overnights or longer because it is a huge disruption to their normal schedule. They want to be sure they are properly compensated. Some guys may charge a lower rate because they enjoy the trips or enjoy the person. Don't try to speculate what the rate is. You may be able to get a lower rate per day if you talk it out, but don't assume it's a given.

Communication also applies to the hours. Most of my overnights have been 12 hours or more. I have seen providers say on this forum and other forums that they consider 6-8 hrs an overnight. So discuss with your potential provider their rate for overnights or multi-days. You might want to also ask how many hours they consider an overnight. Some guys will do a sliding scale or charge a cheaper rates for certain lengths of time or types of trips (i.e. cruises or trips abroad). Just for an overnight, I have met guys who have non-trip rates that ranged from 600 up to 1500. One guy I met a few years ago has a specific rate for my time with him. For an overnight, his rate is 1000... a weekend (whenever Friday to whenever Sunday), his rate is 2500... for 3 days, he only asked for 500 more (3000). We are planning a trip for 4 days this year. I was expecting to pony up 4k for 4 days, but nope... he asked for 500 more than his 3 day rate. We have a lot of fun together so overnights (and longer) with him have been a full 24 hrs a day or very nearly so.

Generally their rate doesn't include traveling and food costs. You'll have to add that to your overall costs. In addition, some guys are ok if you buy their tickets for them ahead of time, but some aren't. They'll prefer if you send them the cost of the ticket. This has more to do with their comfortability given out their personal info so you can get their ticket. Most of the guys I've hired and had to pay for travel were fine with disclosing personal info. I don't know if that's the norm.

The key, again, is don't assume what a providers rate is based on your assumptions. Talk to him.

I can't repeat enough this one piece of advise above - spend an overnight together first so you know you'll get along.

You're on a business trip, and thus in a vulnerable position should that boy decide he wants more. Make sure you have a backup plan if he causes trouble.

Thank you for sharing so much valuable information. Looking like a encyclopedia!

You mean he may want more money than agreed? He may embarrasse me in front of my business partner?🫣

You should ask him his rates and not assume whatever you tell him will fly.

Ask the guy what his time structure is and then make a decision.

I echo what was said above pretty much already. I'd hire them first for a session before the trip to make sure you guys vibe and feel comfortable with each other. Or heck even just meet up for lunch. Also did you check out guys who are local to where you are going? It could be more fun actually and less money to hire a different provider for an hour or two each night you are there rather than having the one with you the whole time.
