Should consultants be paid for travel time?


Should consultants be paid for travel time? Bigger corporations may have a documented policy. Most consultants who travel more than I do bill for travel time. Some bill at their full hourly rate and some bill at half their hourly rate. There is usually a cap of 8-10 hours a day even if your travel takes longer.


How do consultants get paid?

Some consultants prefer an hourly rate, while others charge per project or based on a retainer. You can choose whether you want to be paid up front or at certain milestones along the way. There's also a variety of payment methods you can accept, ranging from cash and checks to credit cards and digital wallets.


How much can you write off for travel expenses?

On a business trip, you can deduct 100% of the cost of travel to your destination, whether that's a plane, train, or bus ticket. If you rent a car to get there, and to get around, that cost is deductible, too.
