Mileage Rates - What should I charge my clients?

[Pickled Piper]

Not the usual question about HMRC rates.

I started charging my clients 38p per mile about ten years ago, simply because that was the "market rate". It was just for driving to occasional meetings etc. I have lost touch with the market rate but clearly I am considerably undercharging. Are there any published or recommended rates?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Eric,

Yes I do quote the mileage separately. I am looking for a market rate that I can charge with some justification behind it.

OK I have found "running cost tables" on the AA website.

If I recall correctly, it is the AA tables that many HR departments use to calulate mileage rates.

Good point. I see what you mean.

It's historic with me, but it makes sense to build it into the rate for the job.

Cheers.
