How Do You Bill For Projects That Take You Out Of Town?

Travel time is billable. Unless flying, driving from home to the airport or from the airport to home is non-billable. Flight time is billable. All driving at the location is billable.

As soon as you hit the hotel, you are off the clock.

Considering it is a long time client, you could offer a lower hourly rate for travel. Personally I am against that practice. If I wasn’t traveling for that client, I could be doing a job for a different client at the full rate.
