When I was employed at a consulting firm, I was typically asked to track my mileage so that I could get reimbursed. It wasn’t always clear to me if my boss billed the client for the mileage consistently. Now that I’m self employed…

When driving for a consulting project is it customary to bill the client for time spent driving and/or mileage for miles driven? At the current IRS rate of $0.655 per mile, bidding incorrectly can add up to a lot of money. Thanks!

    Interesting question. I’d say over the avg commute time in your area is chargeable. But as others have said, if it’s not over an hour just find a way to bury it in your other services.
