Rates for driving time.

[Guest Jesse Dane]

Hey Guys.

 

So I was wondering if any of you have rates that you charge for driving time. I haven't had a license for the past 6 years because I was living in NYC and SF and had no need to drive or own a car. But now that I am in the Portland area I am driving once again.

 

I client has asked me if I would be willing to come to where he lives, which is about a 4 hour drive. I'm not sure what would be a fair rate to charge for my travel time by car. Any thoughts or ideas?

Why not charge him the same $$$ as the return airfare would be. Not only do you have a 4 hr drive to get there, you have to get home too.

I love to drive long distances, but living in Texas for a year it has really taken a toll on my little car, more than anywhere I've lived (alot of cars here have extremely high mileage) LOL. So if I end up having to go a certain distance, It may be a premium.

 

4 hours is a long way, (portland oregan or maine?) especially up north. I would ask for a deposit % of the fee, or I wouldnt go. I have done a couple of 2.5 hour drive bookings, but its been with someone trusted. Either way, its unlikely that a client would do something so cruel but still get a deposit just to make sure they are serious.

 

Its up to you what you want to charge, I'd tell him its a 2 hour minimum fee to come out there, you may even need to get a hotel if you arent used to driving long distances (after driving half-way across the country 3 times, Im pretty damn used to it LOL) . I'd factor in gas, hotel, and atleast a 1 hour booking. Unfortunently, some guys who ask such request arent willing to pay out the amount for the travel, so touring a city or having an out of towner come to you may be more likely!

[Guest AndrewJames]

What ever you decide is fair. It is your business and you make the rules.

 

I do not charge client for travel time, but I do charge travel expences. I would feel it is unfair when a client has purchased an airline ticket to charge them for the time I spend in the plane. In some cities I add cabfare to my rate. Since you are driving, you should figure out what it is costing you, and whether it is worth it to drive 300 miles for a one hour client.

Jessie, would it be practicle to take the train? Sometimes it's cheaper to go by train & a lot more relaxing.

One method is to take the amount the federal government allows per mile and multiple by the number of miles traveled. No matter what you decided to charge it is a business decision you have to make. A business decision in terms of issues such as:, is it profitable to travel four hours; is this a repeat client; is this likely to generate additional business??

[Bart]

Anton's reply seems fairly reasonable. As a client I live about 100 miles away from the city I usually hire out of. When I contact a gentleman to come to my location I usually guarrantee a 3 hour appt, plus if he takes the train I will reimburse the cost of the train. If he drives I have had people charge me $50, not unreasonable but most that drive are satisfied with the 3 hour appt. But I would definitely make sure you have a 4 hour appt, min.

Speaking from a client's perspective, I applaud you for even considering driving 8 hours round trip to see a client. That is a LOT of driving to do.

 

If I were driving to see an escort, I would probably get a hotel/motel room so I could shower before our date and have a place to crash afterward to avoid crashing for real on the road. I would also incur the cost of gas (520 miles round-trip, assuming that I drove 65 MPH, at 25 MPG comes to approx $65.00) and wear-and-tear on my car (520 miles equals a quarter of an oil change, which in my area amounts to about $10 if I use the good synthetic oil.). I would also hire the guy for at least 2 hours. Turning that around, I think it is reasonable to charge the client for gas and hotel and require a minimum appointment. I also think it is reasonable to get part, if not all, of your fee in advance. It would suck if you had to drive across town only to be stood up, but to drive all that way would be devastating. After all, you would be spending an entire workday driving back and forth to see this guy. Alternatively, if you take in-calls you could suggest that he drive to see you.

 

Let us know what you decide to do and how the appointment pans out.

I think you are on the right track in evalutating the expenses involved. However, I think a lot of folks over look several things when it comes to actual costs. As a general statement, I would suggest that any thing much less than $1 per mile could be underestimating the real cost. If you can drive your car for substantially less than that I submit that you either have an older car or drive many miles per year.

 

A leased car is easier to quantify: Let's say you have leased for 3 years and 36,000 miles. It cost you $500 dollars a month for the lease. That is $18,000 for the lease term or 50 cents per mile. At 25 miles per gallon and $2.50 per gallon, that is 10 cents per mile. Insurance could be $900 per year or much more, but not much less. That is another 7.5 cents per mile. Here we have 67.5 cents per mile and no oil changes or tires or parking fees, etc. And, what can you lease for $500 per month with nothing down and including sales taxes and other taxes? That could be a 30 something thousand dollar car and a reasonable ride but nothing very fancy.

 

Just something to think about.

 

Best regards,

Perhaps Capt. Kmem can give a cost breakdown on the sled driven by (his favorite escort), The San Antonio Siren!

And, your point would be....?

 

I think it is time to consider another avitar. I now think of you as BEING the one you use.

Hey Jesse~

Welcome to the Northwest... clam, relaxed, peaceful, green, very easy going... home of Voodoo All night doughnuts with penis shaped doughnuts filled FUCKING FULL of some kind of creammy goodness~! DAMN!~ ...all that and more... It's really a socially, sexually, politically progressive town that you will find welcoming if you let your pretenses and previous "that's what's trendy" thoughts go~ It took me three years to work thru that myself~ Kind of let everything else go and open yourself up to something considerably different but so way ahead of the game in things~

Regarding travel time rates and charging for that. You know what? I don't I live here in the Northwest and travel every fucking place that you can imagine and probably already have!~ I'll have to say... there are all kinds of things that can be said of me. Some good, I am sure some bad... I know this... While I have some some good business sense of expense and all... I think about what my goal and main priority is. Am I out to earn a million I suppose I won't. I really want to contribute something important to peoples lives... okay fun hot erotic, nasty playful intimate... but in the overall... in whatever venue. I want ot make not only my own experience in life substantial but the people I encounter it with as well mutually~

I have always had the idea that if I AM ALL THAT GOOD, ( and really that is never the point of my own opinion... your worth to others is really how THEY value you... your value to yourself is really limited... what you mean to another HUMAN BEING in the long run is Profound and wil Honor both of you in that sense~...

People will hire me back, maybe grant me the gift of their time and review me... maybe give me a tip. If I am good they will do one or several things to acknkowledge me. I am always greatfull and in the LEAST Loving of them. No one has to do anything for me, hire me, write a review of me, thank me, hire me again... whatever~ I can exert myself and tire myself for my own fortune and give back to Clients less but with regard to my own benefit~ What do I gain though in the long run? What do they gain in the long run? In the event that we both are self serving and not mutual in the greatest depth of sharing... we might get what we want in the short term of things but, lose out on the longer and more time sustaining end of things.

I sort of suggest the purest thing... not everybodies thing... I git that... some bois want to make money. I want life long relationships Intimate and deeply so... Romantic, Nasty, you name it... the relations I have I intend on being deep and personal and indiviudual but with the greatest of depth and responsibility to each other. Fuck the travel time. If I have earned it, I will get it. You will inevitably choose your own course and decide what is the best for you. Make the extra buck and charge for time traveled... On the other hand... know the value of time shared and charge only for that. If you have done well you will be rewarded. *****s catch a tip... Male Geisha, Escorts are Honored back with Reward.

There is kind of a funny line between being a ***** and an Escort~ One starts with a captial letter and the other does not~

It's easy to be a *****... suck a dick, take it up the ass. whatever~ Anyone can provide that really with enough street smarts. Many people given the need can be *****s... how many people can be escorts? Male Geisha? Give back ten fold beyond the trifles of travel costs? Beyond the trivial moments of simple sex? What are people about? What are we about as Escorts?

Are we just sex? Shit~ Anyone can jerk off by themselves and make themselves feel good~ We provide more.

Well... okay... maybe not "we".

So, you tell me... what is it you intend to provide? Taking is easy... travel, pay up front, just showing up so pay me anything else is extra, client not pretty enough, whatever... Damn~ Demand travel compensation unless they offer to pay for your travel out of consideration? demand a tip??? People hire you out of their own consideration~ NONE of us... no matter how self deserving, how self pretty, how self eternally youthful, are at soself deserving of monitary compensation, no matter how advantagous we may think we are to those gracious Clients that hire us~ We DON'T have to be hired by tem... they can pick any number of people out there~ They can hire anyone really and don't have to chose either you or me~ Our time will pass realistically. Provisional fun will fade. Better to make what you contribute sustain the test of time and in so, the quality of both not only your own time but your Client's time~ Mutually~ Fuck the travel time... what are you worth as an Escort, (not escort *****), but, as an Escort... raise the bar. we are dealing with Human beings right? If this was your last given day, would you want a profound experience shared or money? THAT is the question~ Be nasty, be fun be sexual, be Intimate regardless of the arena... WHAT IS YOUR WORTH? Sometimes guyas think it's their youth, their prowess... Blah, Blah, Blah... that's fleeting~ for both Clients and Escorts... there is more perhaps? What do you choose?

[Guest Hottiewithabody]

GREAT question..Ive had a few potential clients who wanted me to travel and would have no clue as to what rate would be acceptable for this
