I have a potential client who would like me to train her in her home. I have rates for training people in my home, but I think I should charge more if I am driving to her. What is a reasonable amount to charge for driving to a client’s home?

Have it vary by the distance. I just signed a client that is 30 minutes away, she does not pay the same as a client that is 5 minutes away.

Just remember, like others are saying that you are losing out on training time, the farther that you drive!

I have not had any in home training for awhile now but if I did I would charge double my one on one rates. Driving significantly impairs ability to be efficient because of

1. drive time
2. prep time
3. set up time
4. wear and tear on car
5. other variable I am not thinking of

Hello Christina Diers,

Wow, I need to reassess my travel rate.
Right now I charge $0.50/mile one way.
Next year will be different.
Thank you for this question.
Take care,
Natalie.

i travel to client’s homes for training and I agree that you MUST take into account the travel time to and from their homes and the ‘lost training time and income’ that the travel creates. Keeping that in mind, you definitely want to add a certain percentage to your normal training rate to make up for the actual travel, the wear-and-tear on your car, and the ‘lost training time/income.’

I hope that this helps.

/agree with above answers. factor in gas/time, then add on to what you’d normally charge.

home rates usually range from 80-120, and can increase from there.
