Outcall Only

[Abe Froman]

So what are everyone's thoughts about guys who only do outcall? Most of them expect their travel expenses to be paid, and I'm fine with that if the outcall is my choice. But if you don't offer me the option of an incall, I think the cab/Uber is on you. Or am I being a cheap bastard?

That hasn't been my experience, unless the travel involves something like flying them into where I live.

If you want free delivery, shop at Amazon. But don't expect it otherwise.

If the escort only does outcalls then I would hope his rate should be close to that of an incall plus transportation if applicable.

I met with an escort who only made outcalls and during our session conversation he admitted that he still lived at home with Mom and Dad at the age of 33!

Does RentMen have a "Prime" option?

I’ve never been charged for their driving expenses.

I would have thought that if outcall is the only option that a gentleman offers, his rate should include travel within a certain range.

[Golem]

I think "within a certain range" is the key part here. Travel time adds up pretty quickly, and if you happen to be located in an out-of-the-way location, that's not their fault any more than their lack of hosting ability is your fault.

Not too long ago in LA at a BH hotel - in the convo with the escort when making the arrangements, the guy tells me that he'll drive over & I of course offer to reimburse his parking expense @ the hotel.....when the guy gets to my room he mentions that he knew the doorman who had simply told him that leaving his car parked out front alongside the long driveway free of charge for a couple hours would be fine.....(the escort didn't rush through the appointment out of any concern to get back to his car either).....((with that hire the guy did accept reimbursement for a fresh bottle of poppers I had asked him to bring along though;))).

travel arrangements/expenses/reimbursement all need to be hashed out ahead of the meeting.......communicate!.....if he doesn't mention it, ask and come to an agreement........

 

if a dude is outcall only and doesn't mention it at all in any ad text or pre-meet communication, you can probably assume he's got it covered......if you're staying at a valet-only, $80/day//$25/hour for parking hotel, you may want to bring the subject up if he's driving himself there!!!

 

I always try to cover parking/valet if I know the guy drove himself there and parked at the hotel......if he's cool and all worked well, I'll add an extra "tip" for his gas and drive time (in addition to a regular "tip"), though it was his choice to make it an outcall

If the escort only offers outcalls, that rate should include "reasonable" travel expenses, which I generally presume to be the "local area", which can be different depending on where it is. New York, LA, or Chicago could be like 10 miles, where St. Louis could be 40. If the escort has to travel outside of their advertised "local area", the client should pay for it.

 

Many escorts cannot host - be it because they have roommates, or are private and don't want a number of men coming to their place for sessions, or whatever.

 

My regular comes to me most of the time, and he comes from over an hour away. We generally schedule times when he's up here anyway (it's part of his business model, so it's just in the fee).

 

An outcall requires additional expense for the escort. It is not only transportation expense: gas, train, bus whatever, but the additional time they are not doing something else. If an escort takes 30 minutes going to and from you for an incall of 1 hour, that's half his hourly rate all told. He probably can't do anything else. And that's above any prep time he takes (which he would do for any call).

Sausage King... You're not being cheap.

 

If an escort charges you for a crosstown cab/uber or the cab to/from the airport, I think that's a little over the top.

 

The term 'spending money to make money' is a very real thing in this business: If you're not willing to be realistically generous with your expensing, you likely won't garner a group of clients who treat you as anything but paid time.

[buckguy]

It's pretty common to charge extra in LA for something outside the immediate neighborhood of the provider---distances can be time consuming during most of the day, but this is usually discussed.

Recently I’ve noted that some of the cuter boys in LA don’t have cars, so if you’re in OC it’s often a deal-killer since an Uber might run $100. Next time I’ll stay in Weho.

Recently noticed this language:

"Can easily host you comfortably & privately at my apartment or if you prefer that I come to your place, you can send over an uber to pick me up."
