I perform a lot of local travel for a client, but it looks like I may be asked to do 2-3 day bughunts and evaluations at more remote locations in the future. I can't help but feel that the many hours I will spend in airports and rental cars are worth something. How do I bill for this time or is it customary to eat this time and possibly charge a higher hourly rate onsite? (Actual travel expenses will be passed on to the client directly).

I'm in the UK and send contractors out to the Caribbean and to the States and vice versa to the UK due to the nature of jobs required. All contractors whether States based or UK based charge me a days rate per day travel ,usually $800 approx..
Example , From UK to Caribbean and back including job done would take 3 days assuming job takes one day. I will be charged for three days ( $2400 ). Also , costs for flights and cellphone usuage is charged to me.
Just make sure your client is aware ofall costs.
